What A Disgrace. Joe Biden.

But the idea that heroin benefits the Taliban, and the US wants to put an end to it is a myth. Afghan heroin
is, and always has been, a US/Deep State/corporate enterprise to the bone.

And, If the Taliban do allow the US to continue to use their land to mass-produce heroin, that is yet another
piece of evidence supporting a deal between the Taliban and the West..."

Fact.

Heroin is illegal according the shari'a law, and carries the death penalty.

The Taliban is real big on their very own version of the shari'a. They eradicated opium poppy production twenty years ago when they were still in power the first time by simply saying "poppies are illegal, and we will kill you if you grow them". Killing is a credible threat when it comes from the Taliban, so production stopped.

I recall hearing all about how the Taliban was financing their operations by producing and selling opium, and I knew when I read it that it was complete bullshit.

For all the folks trying to say "Afghanistan is all about the opium". opium poppies can be grown nearly anywhere, They don't need Afghanistan for that. Hell, little old American grandmas grow opium poppies in their flower gardens. From there,it's just a matter of scale.

Opium poppy cultivation is at scale in New Zealand, for example, right now. It's just a matter of increasing production to account for the coming shortfall in Afghanistan.
