All Islamic Republic nations are the same.
They are everytime into these wars and all.
Why is it so?
Is Islam really a destructive religion, or are those preachers who showcase Allah wants Islams to kill Non-Muslims to go to Jannat.
Are they some sort of animals or what?
Why dont they use their own brains?
Its all mystery!
Jai Hind🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳💙💙💙
Bullshit……
this is bad.
USA stop steal drug illegally
Mexican Cartels also make BILLIONS… but USA does not invade Mexico like they invaded Afghanistan.
America has been in Afghanistan for 20years and they couldn’t stop this… so how can they stop the flow of drugs now they are out of the country
Make good quality heroin hmmm how you know
Islam and Drugs go figure!
It makes me sad that people live such hard lives. How hard is must be to live in such a harsh world.
Ah yes, the Taliban are just religious students who are living a pious life for Allah… Oh wait.. 🙄
How? They literally just took over, you fuckwits.
More proof that opium is trafficked by the American military industrial complex.
America stole from afghanistan for 20 years ..
They are going to be "unchecked" by merica? The u.s. has had a opiod problem since we went into Afghanistan. Last time the u.s. had a heroine problem was Vietnam were heroin was readily available. Panama, Nicaragua, El Salvador, u.s. gets a cocaine addiction. So who's dealing what?
Americans pretend to fight drugs ,in reality we know the fortune you made.
Fake news
This is completely lie mass media spreading propaganda
Americans loves Heroine, even the one being interviewed admittwd they make such good heroine
This is bs. Your trying to get their drugs. Even a kid can see through this, smh😂
why is this jew talking about afghanistan like he owns it
They are lying. The Taliban was against opium. It was the corrupt government the US sponsored that sold drugs and our troops protected them
What is this garbage?? The Taliban wiped out opium production in the 90's. It was the US's puppet leader who let the crops continue…the same leader who's brother was a drug kingpin. The heroin flooding the world has nothing to do with the Taliban. How could the Taliban be behind the current wave of heroin exports, when they've only just regained power? Stop spreading these lies.
Big payout for the big guy.
Totally propoganda post against Afghan T.
Narcotic Jihad
