The common feature of massive profiteering in drugs, weapons, child trafficking….isn’t the local culture where it’s happening
It is always, without exception, just one thing. The presence of US troops.
Afghani opium production was non existent until the year after the USA and a few gutless dags like my once respectable Australia moved in. Then it hit an all time record in the first season of occupation. Now after the USA were driven out, inevitable for an army more interested in making money than being professional soldiers, the opium production has been almost completely eliminated once again. Next season will prpbably be close to zero again. Yet Americans try to tell themselves opium production is inevitable among Afghanis. Even the disgusting homosexual abomination of Baka Bhazi, (Dancing Boys) that Americans like to mention to slander Afghanis was encouraged and protected by US the occupation, is again being shut down. Muslims hate this thinly disguised homosexual child abuse. It is LGBTQ+ AMERICA which spreads its filth like a snail trail everywhere it goes.
