Dispelling The Myths about Methamphetamines and The War On Drugs!
Personal Disclosure: We lost the war on drugs ages ago!
The above drug bust is just a drop in the bucket!
The "War on Drugs" has never really been a war on drugs. Elements of the US government are the most prolific drug gangs in America. What the "War on Drugs" has actually been has been a war on the competition instead. That's why we've never won it since it's declaration decades ago - they aren't fighting drugs, they are containing competitors.
A war that has not been won in over 50 years is not really a war at all - it's just a containment action with sporadic breakouts of enemy activity that have to be brought back to heel.
The current phase of the war on drugs is really just a containment action against Mexican drug cartels and Chinese chemical precursor smugglers.
If the "War on Drugs" had ever been prosecuted as an actual war on drugs, the fighting actions would have been very different, and America would be a very different place than it is today.
One telltale of the truth of these statements is the involvement of police. Police - despite their current militarization and militarized appearance - do not fight wars, soldiers fight wars. Police patrol neighborhoods, soldiers fight wars.
Ergo, the "War on Drugs" is not a war on anything at all. It's not even a "police action" - it's just containment of competition, where they "contain" the captured in civilian prisons rather than POW camps or graveyards.
