Why are you taking responses so personal. You asked a question, we answered. The "War" was nothing but a political tool in addition to profit ambitions.
exactly these fools acting like they ain't tourists STILL booking trips to the resorts it's not syria
Do you really think America is engaging in the drug trade, just out of the kindness of their own hearts bc they care so much about American citizens
Dude, anything the American government does or is involved with is for profit, even nonprofits are profit. This is a consumerist country, capitalism doesn't give a fuk. They weren't stabilizing - do you know what stabilization is - picking the side that will benefit you the most. The concept of 'lesser of two evils' .. you have to read books. Not just this force fed pop culture media bias basura they feed to you or want you to hear. This is what they count on - the majority of people being misinformed or not informing themselves. at all.
when I said profiting I meant lining the pockets of the U.S. government or companies which they aren't in terms of "I sold x amount of coke, now you make x amount of $"
It's deeper than that, start from the beginning and work your way up; then follow the policies and the paper trail. This has been going on since the 1890s. From Chinese opium gangs to Colombian and Mexican drug cartels. Research The Harrison Act, The Volstead Act, Prohibition all the way down to narcotics control efforts and drug trafficking in Panama- Central America, South America.
just like there is an increased coorelation between drug control and drug usage. Drug prohibition and drug "wars" were a way to keep certain suppliers in check, drive competitors out of the market which gave rise to the cartel industry. And there's people in here talking about traveling to those other countries aren't safe with all these red alert warnings - how and where do you think most of the violence stems from? Right here in the good ole USofA, most of those countries would not even be militarized without the assistance of the CIA and federal government.
I didn't know offering rebuttals and clarification was being personal...
They profit from the drug game through their task forces, seizures and human prison capital. The war on drugs generated money for the justice and prison systems. It doesn't mean they are still out here dealing like the 80's C.I.A

all the fukkin weapons governments and militaries have access to. Syria isn’t as rich as Mexico and was using weapons on ISIS that would make your skin crawl but Mexico is defenseless huh? 
For example during the Vietnam War and the growth of the poppy plant or in Afghanistan
"In most cases, the CIA's role involved various forms of complicity, tolerance or studied ignorance about the trade, not any direct culpability in the actual trafficking ... [t]he CIA did not handle heroin, but it did provide its drug lord allies with transport, arms, and political protection. In sum, the CIA's role in the Southeast Asian heroin trade involved indirect complicity rather than direct culpability."
Does the U.S. government allow it for the "bigger picture" or "lesser of two evils" yes
Does the U.S. government ACTIVELY sell drugs? Did Nicky Barnes and Freeway Rick Ross have CIA or DEA agents sell crack for them? No?
The U.S. and other powerful governments or entities are just playing chess not checkers.
I'm going to stop talking to you about this, because obviously you have not paid attention or analyzed facts.
wtf.. does that mean.. "chess not checkers".. That's the type of shyt people say when they have no type of factual analysis to support their claims. What are they playing - Connect Four?? This is the problem - corruption and bribery doesn't exist for no reason- high profit margins create a strong incentive for public officials to involve themselves. The official govt interaction in the drug trade started way before Barnes and Freeway 
.. Congress has had their hand in the pot since 1906, the current "war on drugs" as we know it started around the 70s with Nixon. The problem is you think there is an endgame when in reality the Cartels and Government are playing Battleship armed with nuclear weapons, while the average American public is playing Twister or Candyland thinking the first world doesn't have third world problems when what they both have in common is corruption, inequality, violence, poverty as a result on both sides. People filter out too much bc they don't look for first hand information. The U.S. economy is partially funded by drugs, law enforcement and prisons - funded by drug money, and the cycle continues.
I know everyone hates America but are brehs really implying that the US couldn’t relatively easily smack fire out the Cartels in Mexico?
They don’t because they are benefiting big time from the Cartels activity but don’t get it fukked up
