Pakistan plays off both sides

so?

doesn't america?

we have our own interests

china plays off both sides

afghanistan can't have an american backed governemnt

if they do, it would be allied to india

which can't be allowed

iran is neutral to pakistan

leaning more on the indian side

but they wouldn't attack us

I do know America protects the opium fields in Afghanistan so that heroin will pour into Russia.

they might even help us if we lost

The cold war never really ended.

afghanistan government is pro indian

they would attack us if they could

Afghanistan's opium production has gone through the roof.

the afghan people and the taliban are pro pakistani

china is pro pakistani

I think some of that opium pours into Pakistan too.

yep

we need to control of the opium supply

and legalise it fully

Okay

No

send loads to the west

and we sit on a big pile of money

imagine that

the same trick the british used on the chinese, we use on britian

Portugal decriminalized all drugs and they saw reduction in usage and overdose.

^idiot

As backwards as it sounds, legalizing it may be a good option to reduce usage.

legalising opium production is great

I am against drug usage. I don't even drink alcohol, but I want to see people using drugs far less. It legitimately breaks my heart to see the USA, Russia, and Afghanistan struggling with an opioid problem.

legalising opium consumption is stupid

So maybe, just maybe, decriminalizing it may work.

allows for the moral degradation of society

Sure, whatever.

The point is, we need to look for solutions.
