My apologies to all of the Gold Star Families, and don't even want to think about the causalities at Walter Reed Hospital and the many thousands now suffering from Traumatic Stress Syndrome.

And for what purpose...

Follow the money: Armaments... and OPIUM!

The total area under opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan was estimated at 224,000 hectares (202,000 - 246,000) in 2020, which represents an increase of 37% or 61,000 hectares when compared to 2019.

The following article has 72,000 hectares in 2002 as reference. https://www.un.org/press/en/2003/socnar880.doc.htm 

Could that be an answer to "And for what purpose..."

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

How soon we forget:

The administration has refused to say how the $1.7 billion was paid.

But officials say the $400 million was paid in foreign currency, because transactions with Iran in US dollars is illegal in the United States.

It was such a large amount of cash that the US was forced to transfer the money into the central banks of the Switzerland and the Netherlands. 

Once the dollars were converted to foreign currency, it was stacked in the wooden pallets and sent off to Iran. The money could be used to fund terrorist groups such as Lebanese militia Hezbollah or it could be funding Assad's regime in Syria."

 

No one ever explained where that CASH came from.

Try to put  just $10,000 cash in your bank and see what happens.

DEA seized a woman's bag of cash at an airport. It was her dad's life savings..

Jan 17, 2020 — NEW YORK - A federal law enforcement agency that confiscated a retired Pennsylvania man's life savings will not return it even though it was her dad's life savings.

For many years, Rolin, a retired railroad engineer, socked away his money in his basement, just like his parents did.

"...a retired Pennsylvania man's life savings will not return it even though it was her dad's life savings." ? It's either bisexual, poor English or the Biden regime.  

Cute. My typo.. Probably better like this...
