Russian troops in Afghanistan?

[Webstral]

I doubt we'll ever get serious about stopping poppy production in Afghanistan. There's too much liquid capital represented by the heroin trade (skywards of $100 billion--in cash) for a capitalist country to take effective action. I find it hard to believe that in a country like Afghanistan poppy fields cannot be found easily from the air. Equally, if we meant business we could find a poppy pathogen or design one. The fact that we have been in the country for almost a decade and have done nothing effective should tell even the casual onlooker that Washington isn't going to get involved in any meaningful way.
