The real reason the US was in Afghanistan for 20 years?

People don’t usually inquire much further, if at all, when I talk about it. Perhaps everyone already knows and just doesn’t care.

@SixFoot

If the government would just be honest about what we’re actually doing, I’d likely be far more supportive.

I would’ve been just fine propping up the CIA’s opium cartel in Afghanistan had I just been told the truth in the first place. There was no need to lie about it.

I was just fine with taking Iraq’s oil and making them pay us back with it. That was an honest moment.

@SixFoot

I ate the freedom fries hard after 9/11, and ended up helping to prop up the largest CIA opium cartel in human history (in the name of freedom).

@SixFoot

The opium farms were ordered to be left alone looong before the Tweet Meanie. The “Taliban” too were burning them just before 9/11. The correct ones now own the farms and militias.

Speaking of protected crops, our entire cannabis industry’s indica genetics are wholly thanks to Afghan seeds.
