onthedarkside Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 The Mexican president says his country has proof that illegal shipments of the powerful opioid drug fentanyl are arriving from China. A container with hidden packages of the drug was intercepted in the Pacific port of Lázaro Cárdenas, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said. "We already have proof," he said, adding that he would ask the Chinese government to help stop the shipments.

Good luck with that. They are probably the ones behind the shipments. 3 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted May 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2023 The Chinese have experience of how a foreign power can use narcotics to addict a population and render a nation powerless.

Narcotics as a weapon against another nation, I wonder who came up with that heinous idea? Indeed and its been known about for sometime. “Follow the Money: The CCP’s Business Model Fueling the Fentanyl Crisis.” Three U.S. presidential administrations — those of Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden — have devoted diplomatic focus to induce and impel China to tighten its regulations vis-à-vis fentanyl-class drugs and their precursor chemicals and to more diligently enforce these regulations. China, however, sees its counternarcotics enforcement, and more broadly its international law enforcement cooperation, as strategic tools that it can instrumentalize to achieve other objectives. https://www.brookings.edu/testimonies/chinas-role-in-the-fentanyl-crisis 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torturedsole Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Is this a distraction from the global death and destruction Mexico exports in the form of coke? I'll bet a significant amount of murders in the UK are directly related to the consumption or illicit distribution of cocaine. I see this crap all the time and know what I'm talking about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cocaine that Mexico exports is just transshipped cocaine that was extracted from Coca plants in South America. I doubt that cocaine is transshipped to the UK comes via Mexico. How the Albanian mafia conquered the cocaine market in UK The Albanian citizens at the top of the criminal landscape have managed to settle in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Panama. Those who can buy cocaine at 4 thousand dollars a kilo in South America then sell it for 30 thousand euros once it reaches European ports, helped by a dense network of corrupt port officials and operators in the most important maritime commercial hubs in Europe. https://irpimedia.irpi.eu/en-albanian-mafia-uk-cocaine-supply/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah just like another country who talks about war on drugs while sponsering the trafficking and sale of narcotics to its own people to raise money for weapons deals for the overthrow of some democratically elected Sth American government!

Berkshire Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I would think Mexico's drug lords would be able to make their own fentanyl. Why would they need to import from China? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it seems making it, like a lot of drugs, is quite easy. Acquiring the precursers is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
