U.S. Involvement in the Global Drug Trade - From Vietnam to Afghanistan

A Machiavellian View of U.S. Involvement in the Global Drug Trade - From Vietnam to Afghanistan

From a Machiavellian perspective, understanding the real motives behind U.S. involvement in global conflicts, such as those in Vietnam and Afghanistan, requires a willingness to look beyond official narratives. The suggestion that the U.S. administration, particularly agencies like the CIA, is involved in the opium trade may seem conspiratorial, but historical examples provide a compelling basis for this view. A deeper exploration reveals a pattern where economic and political interests, particularly those linked to the drug trade, have played a significant role in shaping foreign policy decisions.
