#1 The government has been making busts like this for decades and always making a big deal about it for the media. The numbers are always so huge you just can't imagine how the cartels can keep making money. And yet there is no shortage of fentanyl on the streets and the cartels continue rake in billions. How can this be? Could it be that these huge busts are merely a tax on the cartels, mere drops in the river of drugs flowing into this country? Could it be these busts are nothing but a show the government puts on for the rubes?

#3 The least costly way to destroy a country is from the inside. It's a long practiced Chinese method. Bribe the leaders to work for you or look the other way. Some smart Chinese guy wrote a book about this a long time ago.

Fentanyl is taking American lives at the same rate as World War 2. Where is the mobilization, the counter attack, the destruction of those that attack us?
