The United States(!) of A

But regardless of that, this is a serious issue. I don't know how many people from here visited the US recently and witnessed the fentanyl crisis with their own eyes. Yes, you can watch videos online, but it hits very differently when you see it. I did visit and I did make an effort of walking through some really shit areas. Trust me, it's soul shattering. This drug is something else, it disfigures human body in a terrible way. Humans look like zombies, completely disconnected from the area they are in. Something needs to be done; the current situation is unsustainable.
Funny but not funny is how market demand increases the flow of fentanyl into the US, mainly driven by US importers. Seems the US border entry inspectors are just as useless as the border exit inspectors at the source of shipping. Trump blames Mexico and China for the problem when the demand is internal. Also funny but not funny is that 70%-90% of Mexico’s firearms are smuggled in from the USA, but maga see this as a good thing as it supports the gun manufacturers who donate donate donate to various gun supporting politicians.
flollo, I agree fentanyl is just terrible. I have seen it first hand in the US. Scary and very confronting. It just destroys lives

Just look at the engagement levels on content with anything that mentions Trump. This is staggering and he is not even in the office yet. Which other politician comes even close to this?

@flollo,
I agree it was heartening to hear an American President specifically refer to fentanyl, even if it was Trump, and to identify the precursor supplier (China) as well as the Mexicans.
How tariffs on goods will counter it however remains to be seen.
The danger for us here is that the Narco Cartels see us as a massive cash cow now, they get the best return from coke here than anywhere in the world, and my fear would be that the supply would just get diverted here instead.
We've only had a small number of those deaths where a group of people are all found dead from it being laced into what they thought was coke, why a dealer would cut coke with fentanyl is beyond me, but there have been a plague of such incidents in the US, never mind the impact it has had on junkies, and American cities. Devastating.
The cartels are using customised narco subs to ship coke here by the tonnage now, the Colombian authorities just seized some of them this week. A ton of fentanyl would be enough to kill our whole population probably.
It took a long time for meth to become a thing here, I remember reading about the problems it caused in the US, in Hawaii and SE Asia a decade or more before it became a problem here, it wasn't a thing here then suddenly it was, devastating drug and drug habit, and I fear the same may end up happening with fentanyl here.
Mind you a month or so ago I got sent down to Victoria St. in Richmond, Melb., a well known heroin hot spot, by my brother to buy a carton of black market cigarettes for him ($10 a pack with a free lighter, great policy that one, cigarettes haven't been so cheap since the 80's) and parts of the street resembled the streets of Philadelphia (my favorite Springsteen song btw). Junkies buckled over and street mayhem. with the new gen. Richmond gentrified yuppies lining up for their Sunday brunches at the Viet, pho/coffee shops looking on horrified.
We are ripe for that devastating drug here.
So kudos to Trump for trying to do something about it.
I would prefer the US just went "fuck it" and sent in the marines and USAF to eliminate all the cartels the Mexicans seem unable or unwilling to, and do it again when the snakes grow more heads, that's a "war on drugs" in my book. Don't fuck around with tariffs or diplomacy, bullets and bombs and let the Mexican politicians shriek all they want, it's a real and present danger killing Americans in large numbers.
I would make a shit politician or diplomat obviously. But Mexico is basically a narco state, a great country, great people, great waves, great culture, great food but a blight because they haven't been able to stop the cartels, or the fentanyl.
Colombia has at least made progress in that regard, although it still produces the bulk of the world's cocaine.
As for China, fentanyl needs to be put front and center to them too. At least Trump is saying these things to them too. How successful he is we will see.
And I wonder whether we stockpile the coke here or whether even that commodity is on a "just in time" supply chain too. I bet it's probably an exception to that rule.
Give it a rest Sexxy one!
What about that dad joke?
What's E.T. short for?
Because he's only got little legs!

ie will our minerals, produce and anything else the yanks import from us become cheaper than the countries with imposed tariffs. If these tariffs are as high as Trump has stated.

Fentanyl is so scary, the tiniest amount being able to kill is such a worry.
My apprentice and his mates are out hitting the bag every weekend, cant say I don't get concerned for him..
