The Fentanyl War is Worse Than You Think

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

Members of the US congress are calling the influx of chinese fentanyl an act of asymmetric war against the United States. 

The Drug Enforcement Agency estimates 90% of fentanyl comes from Chinese companies that not only operate legally inside China but are also subsidized and paid for by the Chinese communist Party. 

In 2022 over 107,000 Americans died from overdoses in the United States, and fentanyl poisoning became the leading cause of death of Americans 18-45 years of age.

On the other hand China frames the fentanyl crisis as a domestic American issue, blaming the United States big-pharma’s opioid corruption, weak U.S. laws, and a culture of American overindulgence and drug-glorification.

In asymmetric warfare one nation seeks to exploit the other's relative weakness. In this case China is accused of exploiting America’s appetite for illicit drugs and weaponizing fentanyl.


Task & Purpose

  1. China is using the Mexicans to poison Americans and profiting from it. Fentanyl not a drug, its poison when over 300 Americans die per day.

    1. More die of gun violence and I see ZERO talk about fix it. Gringos are just upset they don't get a cut of the Fentanyl trade. Just remember cocaine was brought into the states by CIA and didn't give a shit how many died of it.

    2. There's been 600 mass shootings thus far this year in the US, and that's without a drug war.

    11. It’s amazing how people just make shit up based on speculation and random thoughts… According to the pew institute

      Though they tend to get less public attention than gun-related murders, suicides have long accounted for the majority of U.S. gun deaths. In 2021, 54% of all gun-related deaths in the U.S. were suicides (26,328), while 43% were murders (20,958), according to the CDC. The remaining gun deaths that year were accidental (549), involved law enforcement (537) or had undetermined circumstances (458).

    12. @829, not to mention, the overwhelming majority of gun deaths are from handguns and not the boogie monster AR style rifles that make the left unhinged.

  5. Many of those chemical companies are owned by Chinese Communist Party members. And any company over 10 employees has to have Party oversight and structure so really, the CCP is complicate.

  8. Well, America is either really dumb or really complicit. They shoulda just let the Big Pharma and Pill Mills taper down but not stop cold Turkey. A junkie is forever going to be a junkie. So if Team USA woulda left the real Oxycodone on the streets in a slow drip method, then Fetty wouldn’t have exploded on the scene so rapidly. America didn’t have a plan of action when they pulled the plug on the over prescribed perks/oxy/roxy. Instead, They let 20 deaths become 20,000. The Devil you know is sometimes better than the Devil you don’t.

  9. Well since USA is such a bad place and we’re so screwed up. Then tell your family to stay across the fence. Quit swimming , smuggling , and risking your pathetic lives to cross the border to get here Tonto. We don’t want you here anyways. Your drugs is all we want. Go clean your own houses and gardens out and remember tall fences make good neighbors !!!!!

    1. @959 why didn’t you and your family just stay in Europe instead of coming to America and killing the people that were here before you you seem hypocritical to say the least and that would be a massive understatement I am Caucasian, and was born in Texas and have lived here all my life. I would never tell any race, ethnicity or person what you espouse you are the type of person whose attitude has ruined America take a deep long look in the mirror because I’m pretty sure that Native Americans would like to tell you the exact same thing and I’ll say it for them go the hell back to Europe wherever you came from England, Germany, Wales, Scotland, etc because real Americans don’t want you here
