Now the goal post has been moved to WhY

wow, that’s quite the pretzel you’d twisted yourself into trying score some imaginary “point”.

The “goal post” was always the “why” and it was never to eradicate opium. Every source, every article linked here bears that out. all that’s ben proven here is:

the US didn’t give a shit about it at all

ya got me there. they did care. still doesn’t prove that it’s why the US was there, and, in fact, several of the linked sources directly state to the contrary against claims that it was.

try not to hurt yourself with more of those mental gymnastics. it’s hilarious to watch

edit: ya know, you probably wouldn’t be so outraged and angry all the time if you didn’t constant make stuff up to be outraged and angry about.
