  1. US markets up and think there is going to be a breakthrough with Xi and China? Rhetoric doesn't suggest that? All very confusing.

    Fentanyle is a problem in your own mostly male population though. Why are your young males choosing drugs? Last time I looked, young males are finding themselves at the bottom of US society. Maybe drugs become a solution?

    Seems like blaming China and Venuzeula without looking at demand from US is a misplaced scam.

    Of course Regan was right. Tariffs are bad in the long run. OK in short run. Venezuela? Madness? Can't help relationship with Russia and China? Stock market rallies?

  2. that has nothing to do with drag cartels. it aims to.influence other nation's politics. way worse than what Russia attempted to influence US election. the US is an very ruthless nation. intervene other nations' election, supporting parties that they like and overthrow the opposition.. sanction tool used all over the world. invade other nations… you name it

  3. DRUG CARTELS GREW IN WEALTH AND USED DEATH AND TORTURE BECAUSE THERE WAS NEVER A PRESIDENT IN THE USA THAT WOULD TAKE A FIRM STAND AGAINST DRUG CARTELS AND NARCO STATES TO ALLOW THEIR HARBOURS TO BE DRUG CARTEL TRANSIT POINTS UNDER THAT GOVT PROTECTION. CARTELS AND NARCO STATES HAVE NOW LAUNCHED A WAR ON THE USA USING DRUGS AND FENTANYL TO DESTABALISE COMUNITIES IN THE USA AS THEIR FIRST STEP TO DESTABALISE AND INFILTRATE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. – LIKE IT OR NOT – WAR HAD ALREADY BEEN UNLEASHED ON THE USA USING DRUGS AND FENTANYL AS A WEAPON – AS IN CCP – STRAEGY WHO OPENLY STATE THEY WILL FIGHT WITH EVERY AND ANY MEANS PSOSIBLE AT ALL ANY COST TO OVERCOME THE USA WITHOUT FIRING A BULLET.
