The US needs to legalize all drugs and regulate them. Stop funding drug cartels! Literally!
This gave me the mental image of the USA doing an easter egg hunt, and every egg they open they go, "damnit, another drug cartel!"
Drugs being illegal is literally the only reason cartels have a business model.
cartels are (sometimes) funded by illegal drugs.
if they werent illegal they wouldnt have a source of income to fund their shenanigans.
Woooosh
I wasn't a part of this chain at all, but I'll take a block if you're handing them out.
Are you handing them out? Your IQ dropped mid sentence, so you stopped speaking English there. Either way, please block me.
Double wooooosh, lol
It’s a concept you don’t understand.
You should research drug cartel and CIA history. Fun stuff. Also military special forces and the cartel.
Except we do, all the time. It works. Isolating usually makes the terrorist you keep talking about. Then we have to negotiate and around and around we go.
