#6 The fentanyl scourge has the feel of an asymmetric warfare campaign conducted against us by China.
If their intent is destabilization, distraction, and using our own monies and vices to do so...then it is successful. Perhaps they are paying us back for the alleged heroin campaign conducted against them by the Agency over the past decades.

The constant levels of overdose deaths, violence, and corruption here in Tennessee were enough to give me PTSD last year...this is a clear and present danger and it on our southern border and fueled via an apparent proxy war by the PRC.

The citizens targeted cause tremendous turmoil via theft to supply their habit...and the addicts target you

And the funds produced via illicit sales fuel the corruption within our systems

Without any apparent consequence in return to the Cartels or PRC
