Junky spirits of Kabul: Afghanistan world's narco plague epicenter

[izelatlan0478]

I would like to see this study....It is opium that is produced in Afghanistan; I doubt they are making hydromorphone and oxycodone. I don't know whether they take these things themselves. Although Islam sees ethanol as worse than opium. I don't really trust the Russian media, if one thinks the UK and UK media are biased they hold not a candle to the Russian media for a slanted point of view.

[LZBobby]

Its hard to see your afghan people suffer

[Arghandab1]

bulshit these people which u guys see in this videos most of them are send by iran and pakistan to sprean HIV and drugs in afghan cummunity if but tanx God afghan are not drugi as much as irani and pakistani people

[makedatchedder]

You fucking cunts not every family in afghanistan is like that so dont make a news report giving falls information.. im an afghan myself, the only people that take drugs there is the extremely poor, non-religious people.. barely anyone else does it the people in afghanistan are so humble and this fucking news report makes them all out to be drug addicts.. why not make a news report to show what the humble religious people go through everyday in contrast to the fucking usa

[HeadNtheClouds]

I thought we were destroying alot of poppy fields, I think we need more men & women to destroy them all. Kill all junkies & taliban! U-S-A, in your face!!

[EsfuerzosSovieticos]

Don't worry the U.S will keep them under control....

[atista007]

Damn man, wtf

[coolbuddydude1]

Afghanistan would been better if was left alone by the british, russian & american.

[martymar88able]

how can these people act like the US troops arent over there gaurding the opium fields. its all bad!!

[usnavysss]

lol dats what we need a place were us peops can get fucked up and crash at hahaha.

[MRBLACKPEARL04]

NATO caused this

[urajokeass]

That shit prob the fucking Balm Bay primo shit.SlamSlamSlam

[limousineny]

so heartbreaking to see children on drugs! perhaps Taleban were better than the democracy US/Karzai!

[roronoa89p]

In my opinion even a Russian dog (doesn't matter which breed) is far better then all these Americans who exploited this beautiful country. The Russians tried at least to build up the country. They (USA) are given the farmers money to grow poppy fields for them. Just look at the statistics don't believe me do your own research

[Sh012222]

In 2000 The Taliban nearly eradicated all Heroin in Afghanistan.

[21boxhead]

@Sh012222 now, there getting there funding from it.

[megatroll]

The sole purpose of invading Afghanistan...

The US wants to install another military base (the US equivalent of colonies).

They want to spick the entire middle east with bases, to secure recources from China and Russia and to form a "belt" around them for their plans on WW3.

Meanwhile Afghanistan has risen to 90% of the world's opium production. The US military and CIA are working with guys like general Raziq in Kandahar to export TONS of heroin for blackbook money.

USA = Fascits empire

[jonhdoe1395]

Another country "liberated" by NATO.

[Tsukae]

My body, my choice.

[iamfreemanontheland]

yep, this is more proof your government loves you and wants to protect you from the evils of the world, now pass the bong

[MadXMax187]

Before CIA Afghans didn't grow poppy or have a heroin probably

[kakompo]

1:27 THAT's A KID. oh my goodness  this is horrible.

[Wolfsbane909]

Oh great just what the world needs more fucked up CRACK BABIES

[DurexDurpaneu2]

@curthowland your delusional buddy. Get your facts straight cuz your just rambling mad.

[phantomcreamer]

Pish posh. Afghanistan is the homeland of opium poppies and that is its rightful place to grow on Earth. Just because it is grown doesn't mean that's the cause of addiction. The dutch grow lots of it. They make good money, and they don't have a "narco plague." It's due to the economic, political, and war climate that exists.

[CurtHowland]

"Taliban"?

Of course they had to be taken out, the Taliban had nearly eradicated poppy production, and the CIA's source of off-budget funding was drying up.

That was the reason for invasion, nothing else.

[Wolfsbane909]

@CurtHowland Well, I hope they can survive through this, similar to Opium yea?

[Julia52421]

Drugs are taken in all places throughout the world.The people of Afghanistan like people all over the world take drugs like heroin to escape from the hopelessness of their predicament ,which is not of their making.Scenes like this will not go away until the conditions and environment in Afghanistan and the world change dramatically.Needless to say the war in Afghanistan was not necessary to start and is not necessary now it just like all other wars is merely to serve the interests of a minority.

[thelksis]

Live their lives is one thing and blaming it all on women and torturing themto solve their problems is quite another!

[landlogger]

@thelksis What???

[TrickShot1100]

America...we should just leave afgan...let them work out their own way solving their problems.

It is not for us to decide how they should live their lives or run their country.

[IIIlllIIIlllIl]

im afghan

and communism would be great for afghanistan

[reashot]

@IIIlllIIIlllIl you want your government to take control of your Economy & Distribute your hard earned money to the junkies?

[IIIlllIIIlllIl]

@reashot yes , my mom told me when communists had control of afghanistan . it was much better . schools , universities etc etc.

capitalism sucks

[ThePakibro786]

@IIIlllIIIlllIl yeah my dad told me that he used to visit kabul as a tourist ` it was a beautiful city ` but now ;-(

[reashot]

@IIIlllIIIlllIl you do realize that living in communism your happiness is short lived look at North Korea back then the economy & living standard is greater than Japan now look at it now

[mdsmitri4]

@IIIlllIIIlllIl USSR troops never had full control of afghan territory, main cities and roads only, everything else was under taliban. Yes, we tried to built some kind of socialism there training their army, providing education and constructing infrostructure for them.But the more we were there, the more our soldiers returned home in zinc coffins. We've lost that war because of ineffective and corrupted command, but i think it's in the interest of US to stay in afghan to control the hole region

[BullCatification]

@IIIlllIIIlllIl No government is fun but we all need one.. By the way soviets didn't even have full control like usa does

[Dangerous1966]

Yep this is bs media kids were given the drugs, could not even smoke it, tv propaganda hear and Russia is also heavily involved in this drug war. They keeled it going during there occupation. Now they don't have the lions share they seem to be complaining, this is what happens when a country loses to the corrupted. If you want your country backyou need to tart loving one another and help each other to defeat NATO.

[dubldeka]

Anyone who has watched family or friends dying from Cancer will know that Opiates are the only known relief from the rigours of death.

Opiates can prolong the active life of a Cancer sufferer and bring a semblance of dignity to a patient.

It is an important medicine and there is a world shortage.

+Any money that is made from any business would still go to the Taliban.

[dubldeka]

0:47 They seem to be staring at the camera crew, not the people under the bridge.

[jonahfox]

American tax dollars at work. Afghanistan would have been better off if USSR had won!!!!

[luchiadance]

Everyone knows that the CIA aid drug growing and importation of drugs. Those that dont are deaf and blind.

[RePetes1]

How would this be much of a surprise? The invasion-plans, -prepared and ready for application 2 days prior to 9/11- were drawn up by the same cabinet which facilitated Iran-contra´s via organized CIA cocaine-import. ..

..Might be hard to recall, though, as it all happened in the shadow of Jeff Carrington having a face-transplant on 'Dynasty'..

[wanker89]

Let's not forget the CIA is involved in this too. Makes the war well worth it.

[DickCheneyXX]

Maybe we should do like the Taliban did and execute everyone caught with the stuff.

[JMHobbsRN]

BS media - even you RT - US, Russia, UK all the big players are in on this, supplying all of our countries with the filthy heroin. Just more dumbing down and distraction from the Rothschild shadow guberment. Rothschild and co, I pray for you everyday that you too could overcome. Love To All!

[Oshiba88]

Haha all those non white animals just acting like they've alwayes behaved, but this time there is a camera that shows it to the world.

The Afghans want to behave like the negro subhumans in the US...

Folks search for Dr William Luther Pierce and you'll learn a lot.

[ducklamb1]

oil,$100 per barrel,maybe.opium,$100,000 per barrel.halliburton has already done the math.were a staying until there is american democracy there says cheney.

[diballynibally]

This shows how much American Ocupation has helped Afghanistan!

[Mashahid1431H2010]

All truthful people know well that during the Taliban rule since 1996 to 2001(or 2000) that they nearly eradicated the poppy plantations and it's trade.

Why such a report then that says the Taliban finance themselves through drugs?

To hurt their image of course...It's understandable that Russia and the USA would meet at this point and share their hate for the Taliban because they totally owned them in Afghanistan and because they are Muslims.

Don't be cowards..hate someone tell it to his face

[SanchezFam420]

I thought we were the ones growing it over there?

[eazymindz]

america is fighting junkies for 10 years and they still can't win

roflol US army is a JOKE

[asoingles2010]

CIA sponsored wars mean dope is grown and transported by the U.S. military back to the U.S. This has been the truth AT LEAST since the Vietnam War.

[markjoachen]

in islam you not supposed to take drugs but you can have as many wifes as you can afford to have there is a word for this addication and thats wat happens after the excasty of controlling woman into forced marraige and sex you need something else to be selfess about oh ya drugs just like todays football players really

[reashot]

@markjoachen 4 wives max & it only allowed to alleviate the woman social standard

[markjoachen]

@reashot depends which islamic state you are in i suppose so 4 in afgan thats sounds about right one for the bedroom one for the bathroom one for the kitchen and one for the living room cleaning must get done quick in afgan,,,,,,i guess these men still belive in the wrong islam where a man can be selfess

[reashot]

@markjoachen Isn't Afghanistan a poor country to begin with so i can guess there isn't much polygamy & the parent of the daughter probably won't allow them to marry a poor person. In Afghanistan or pretty much the Indo-Aryan people the Parents decide who get marry to with who.

[markjoachen]

@reashot fair point

[Stinkpoppa]

US Military Helping Afghan Farmers Grow Opium Poppies!

[iramaarias2007]

Is the same shit in Colombia, drugs, that's why USA has military bases in South America. War & DRUGS is a very interesting business for the Big Brother. ;S

[raazstone]

Spreading democracy, USA way.

[dylanfloyd777]

@xz55o NO DOUBT MAN!!

[dylanfloyd777]

LEAVE THE PEOPLE ALONE,YOU AMERICAN FUCK UP WHOLE WORLD WITH DRUGS AND NOW PRETEND THAT YOU FIGHT AGAINST,NO ONE CAN HELP THEM ANY WAY,SO LEAVE THEM TO EASE THEY PAIN!

[markjoachen]

@dylanfloyd777 as an addict i can tell you its there fault that they are selfess and take the crap people like me need to wake up and be more giving then we ll get out of our addications we have do you not think a maybe you should become that which you dont understand to understand it like i did

[DigitalAgeGrunt]

These poor people just can't catch a break.

[H4rm3t]

funny because islam forbids using drugs.

i guess they are losing their faith :/

[MihaiBorcan]

NATO commander are being paid off by the heroin traffickers .

[9MillerKiller]

----> This was never a surprise. They did the same thing in Vietnam to control the drugs there. This is big business!!! You think 90% of Opium is sneaked out of Afghanistan?

[IronicallyVague]

Try again RT

You'd have to go back in history a little longer from when the USSR invaded Afghanistan to see what caused the economic damage and for that matter Afghanistan has been growing poppys since the beginning of time always will

[88alvi]

This is usa 10 years of democracy

[Setarcosism]

This is what US/NATO/NWO imperialism does ... sow chaos and divide and conquer, so as to try to rule the entire planet.

No this is NOT a conspiracy theory, it is a conspiracy fact written by the authors of the PNAC during the '90's ... a deliberate plan to destroy Iraq, Libya, Syria, other countries and ultimately Iran ... go Google PNAC, if you do not believe me.

Afghanistan is important to the project, because of access to oil and other resources needed for the Washinton Empire to exist.

[papaspride101]

they tested on balck panters(intro in states by cia) ,and got fooled in their own community ,and now its a main front attack to all civilians ,nice job nwo

[KingRyltar]

up from 10% to 90% thanks to the US government helping them grow it.

[UNJUSTIFICATION1]

Fuck the west, its all cia .. mother fuckers are drugging up the whole area.. The only solution for afghanistan is TALIBAN.. they are capable to stabilize the area , get rid of the drugs, make afghanistan a prosperous state. THE nato mother fuckers have sanctioned them in from 1996 -2001 or else they would of been a popular government. Fuck america and fuck the european union for destroying millions of people of lives.. i hope the west falls into a depression for their poison in the reigon.

[MrPhilphil55]

[Setarcosism]

@xz55o Are reporters wet behind the ears?? Ever since Iran-Contra there is no excuse for not knowing that the CIA funds black-ops with drug money.

I expect better of RT reporters than this and RT in general (thinking of reportage/discussion about Libya).

The way things are going, RT will become like CNN and Al Jazeera, it seems. ??

[r0ll0t0masi]

Better be hit by a drone than by heroine...

[TheLansoprazole]

@r0ll0t0masi U want to over 10 Million Heroin Addicts in America to be Hit by Drones?

[r0ll0t0masi]

@TheLansoprazole

Yes...

[bushpigification]

What a big shit hole

[SlashDotDash121]

What a shit hole....

Cant blame them for wanting to escape for a brief time....

[Marspyramids]

THE CIA IS RUNNING THE DRUGS.

[dwoods828]

Obama wants to control the dope trade...

[rocky98498]

NATO = Narcotics and Arms Transport Organization

[ITSbigwillystyle]

@rocky98498 Were you dropped on your head as a child?

[skylineTG1]

Taliban almost wiped out all opium production until the american devils arrived, I'm no saying taliban are good but there're better then blood bloodthirsty american terrorist

[mispistoleros]

@skylineTG1, i read repeorts that claim the taliban, before they asked for a higher royalties on the pipeline and became overnight pariahs, were overseeing opium production for the cia. when washington turned on them, the taliban eradicated the opium production to financially kick them in the teeth.

[MegaBadhorsie]

This way, our government gets to make money growing and selling the product, and then get to make more money locking up the drug users.

[meProudToBeCaucasian]

it shows not only westerners can be addicted to drugs so are the muslims

[xaxawehn]

@meProudToBeCaucasian how about saying middleeasterns?

[Mashahid1431H2010]

@xaxawehn

Hello..

I am a Muslim middle-easterner (Hope it's written the right way)Believe me..I & the practicing Muslims don't hate nor get offended knowing that others would call us Muslims..It's better than others that try to choose their words to avoid any hurting or conflict while they still don't like us(like the others that call us Muslim)

My point is I'd rather have it said to my face(still we can avoid conflict if we want to)but never to be spoken to too nicely then kicked from behind

[xaxawehn]

@Mashahid1431H2010 what i mean is, we say western and we can say middleeastern. shouldnt be that hard. like we say to the far eastern people, asians.

[Mashahid1431H2010]

@xaxawehn

Ok tough guy...I get it..relax... I like proper balance too!

Anyway...it showed his hate towards Muslims...the minute he had an opening to attack he did... no problem..

[xaxawehn]

@Mashahid1431H2010 yeah w/e. thats the result of mass media influence.

[DwayneHoLLowayLive]

The Opium trade is a multi-billion dollar business. Another reason why 9/11 was carried out in order to invade that country.

The CIA also deals in the illegal drug trade. It's big business for the criminal international bankers. While also using the illegal war on drugs to enslave citizens for cheap slave labor in the prison system.

This is why the Taliban banned the cultivation of Opium in 1999.

[WeLikeDanceMusic]

we'd maybe win this war if we started growing and selling some weed instead of burning it

[12of15]

Many US soldiers come home from Afghanistan and say their job was to protect the poppy fields, those same soldiers say that is all they are there for. CIA are the biggest drug dealers and gun runners in the world.

[tamrlane420]

why don't US take all these drugies to US and put them on welfare. :)

[TrollogyExpert]

just legalize drugs damn it,this war cant be won ...

[Olga32555]

@TrollogyExpert Do you seriously say about legalisation of drugs? Some millions of chineses were victims of legalisation of drugs during the East India Company in 19th century and legalisation of drugs was a reason of 2 wars in China. So your recipe is not good if to say mild...

[nadoeloiskat]

They have been doing this shit for ages.

It's just now its reported to the world.

Its like Africa was sometimes better than it is now - utter BS.

Europe in general was as fucked as Africa is now just some few hundreds years back.

Social, political, economic and education level has since made an enormous growth in western world thats why it seems the 3rd world is fucked. it always was.

[nibbler032]

its well known that CIA and american banks fund , help and support the importing of drugs

[tamaskrisztian]

@nibbler032 Just to have a clear vision about the underground operations what could hit on safety social movement of a human beings :(((

[eedobee]

@nibbler032 For not targeting their enemies main supply line? They might just be incompetent :p

[Setarcosism]

@nibbler032 Stupid reporter! It is NOT the Taliban who are funded by drug money, it is the CIA.

The Taliban stamped-out drug production. The US/NATO invasion ramped it up again for devious purposes ... that's why, as was actually said, NATO has no interest in curbing drug production and use.

[InternetPerv]

it just came out recently that prescription drugs kill more then illegal drugs.

heroin is not the problem, its big pharm churning out stuff like oxycontin and various other synthetic opiates mixed with APAP to "deter abuse" but if anything kills people from taking too much APAP.

[H4rm3t]

this is just fucked up.

[nightkraawler]

it's ok , nato will get this whole thing under control, the same way it helped all the other issues in the world, genocide, child prostitution , slavery, piracy, etc..etc.
