Wouldnt shock me they are struggling to keep the dollar stable with two wars at once now. for those of you not in the know, The banks loan USD to Both sides of these wars to artifically increase demand for the dollar, Link it with Oil through purchases of oil for other countries, and even Putting other nations in Dept with loans for goods.

Debt, War, and Oil are basically the only things keeping Not just the American economy alive, but the Entire world economy because the USD is alls the world Reserve currency, its literally the thing all the other Fiat currencies based their value off.

It will collapse in the future, no fiat has ever staied around for long, there only hope to extend its stay is to deploy AI managers for World economics through a technocratic hellscape, Which is why they are alloing AI into the public.

But even then the nature of Government and Fiat will eventually take over and the temptation of even AI either it be the false AI we have now or the real deal will start specifically printing currency on demand to solve problems, and thus it will eventually reach a point where it can’t even calculate the math effectively.

Bomb Mexico. And these idiots could be in charge of the U.S.

Depressing.

Let’s face it, they will be. As a non American I’m wondering how I can convince our nation to further distance itself from the US as I just don’t think they are a partner we should be too tightly coupled to; they’re displaying all the signs of an empire on the edge of implosion.

Mexican drug cartels are responsible for manufacturing and smuggling much of the fentanyl that enters the United States and causes most drug overdose deaths, killing about 150 people a day.

Vance’s repeated calls for aggressive military force, including bombing campaigns targeting…drug cartels in Mexico.

I know that the addicts in question are American, and that the manufacturers aren’t, and that assigning responsibility for domestic problems to voters probably isn’t much of a vote-winner, but I feel that maybe, just maybe, at a certain point, you gotta attach a certain amount of responsibility for drug use to the addicts rather than the foreign manufacturers.

I don’t think that we’re ever going to have a world where addictive, recreational drugs are simply nonexistent. I think that that’s probably a lot more of a dead end in terms of drug policy than people choosing not to use.

We’ve got a pretty potent military. But I don’t think that this is really a problem for which military solutions are all that useful.

But we’re just going to ignore the broken healthcare system that CAUSED all those addictions in the 90s, right? Yeah, sure, lets get people hooked on pain killers, and then cut them off cold turkey. They’ll just stop being addicted, right? Right???

Yes, but a lot of the current drug epidemic stems from over-prescription of opiates like oxycontin. Another big factor is the absolute garbage availability of social services. If you’re homeless, cold, and in pain, heroin is a great way to feel better for a while. Housing and healthcare would go a long way to keep people away from drugs.

Very few people say “you know, this weekend I think I’ll take up smoking meth”. There’s usually something that puts them in a vulnerable position that makes it seem like a good idea.

Doesn’t matter how much you bomb Mexico. If there is a demand for drugs there will be a supply. No matter the price. A drug addict will do ANYTHING to get it

Cutting the supply would only work if you’re somehow able to cut almost all supply for 30 years straight, until the currently addicted people die off or sort themselves out

To stop the drugs you need to stop the demand for drugs. Treat addicts instead of arresting them. And oh my god stop prescribing literal Opioids as “treatment”

Drug addiction is a mental health problem. Reducing supply may have some effect in reducing overdoses in the short term, but it doesn’t solve the underlying issue, and it’s likely that new and potentially even more dangerous sources will pop up quickly. And military action is absurdly heavy handed and unless Mexico are on board with it, I can’t see it ending well (and even then).
