This is just the tip of the iceberg. Google the french connection or operation paper. The United States was both in Vietnam and Afghanistan to corner the opium market so the mafia can produce heroin in Marseille, France, So the money could be laundered through the Catholic Church to rebuild Europe after WW2. Not to mention the Iran/Contra scandal where the Sandinista movement was funded by the crack epidemic in Los Angeles fuelling the blood crip gang wars. Pretty much all the covert intelligence operations are funded with drug money and China is just leveraging this corrupt unending war on drugs to its advantage. No cool at all.
