Donald Trump is intent upon waging war on Venezuela for allegedly supporting the trade in narcotics.
Nonsense. The unspoken military agenda is that Venezuela is the World’s Number One Oil and Gas Economy. “And we want the Oil”…
There is another unspoken U.S. military agenda: The protection of the multibillion dollar illegal trade in narcotics.
Narcotics: Two Major Geograhical Poles
Peru, Bolivia and Colombia are the major producers Worldwide of cocaine.
Afghanistan is the “Number One” Worldwide opium producer: illegal heroin, morphine, and non-pharmaceutical grade opioids.
In the immediate wake of 9/11, US-NATO waged an all out invasion of Afghanistan, which was casually accused by the Bush Adminstration of having attacked America on September 11, 2001
In the year 2000, the Afghan Taliban Government’ with the support of the United Nations, launched an initiative to ban the production of opium coupled with a program of crop substitution in favor of grain.
One of the objectives of the US-NATO led War against Afganistan? Was is intent to restore and protect the multi-billion trade in opium which had collapsed (following the decision of the Afghan government) by more than 90% in 2001? (see graph below)
