NATO Turned Afghanistan into Drug State That Killed A Million Worldwide. Prime Target is Russia

Russia lashes out at NATO for not fighting Afghan drug production
The US refusal to destroy opium poppy crops in Afghanistan guarantees that raw drug sources there will be inviolable, leading to heavy drug use in Russia, the head of the Russian federal drug control agency said earlier this year.
"Afghan heroin amounts to 90% of all drugs sold in Russia. Annual supplies stand at 35 tonnes or 5 billion shots," Ivanov said, as quoted by Interfax news agency.

It is high time to formally declare the phenomenal narcotics production in Afghanistan to be a threat to international peace and security, Ivanov said.
Viktor Ivanov warned that drugs production in Afghanistan is "a global factor destabilizing the situation in Russia as the target market and in Central Asia which has become a transit territory."
Moreover, drug trafficking from Afghanistan energizes negative processes in the North Caucasus, Ivanov added. Drug availability in the region increased by eight times, and in the Russian republic of Dagestan by 60 times, noted Ivanov.
The federal drug control agency's head stressed that drug trafficking growth causes a proportionate increase in terrorist attacks and other crimes in the North Caucasus.
According to the Federal Drug Control Service's data, there are up to five million drug addicts in Russia.
So far NATO and Russia have failed to reach a consensus in a tug of war over tackling the Afghan drug problem. The alliance has rejected Moscow's appeal to eradicate opium poppy fields in the Islamic Republic.
Commenting on the move, Viktor Ivanov said it is "confusing, to say the least."
Earlier Thursday, Reuters reports, NATO spokesman James Appathurai said, "We cannot be in a situation where we remove the only source of income of people who live in the second-poorest country in the world without being able to provide them with an alternative."
The head of Russia's drug control watchdog said the alliance's statements "run counter to the UN resolution on the obligation of all the countries to destroy plantations with narcotics-containing crops".

Drug smugglers easily transport Afghan heroin and opium into Central Asia and Russia, and thence to Western Europe. According to statistics "the losses of the civilian population of Europe caused by opium-based narcotics exceed the losses of the NATO military contingent in Afghanistan by 50 times."
The idea of creating the alliance, Ivanov said, was to protect the member states from outside threats. "At present NATO is not fulfilling its task of protecting the population of its countries against the threat of drugs distribution," Ivanov said. "Afghanistan produces heroin in enormous amounts. It has actually been turned into the world's 'heroin-basket'."
Among other ideas, Russia should go ahead with a plan that includs "an upgrade of the status of the Afghan drug production problem in the UN Security Council to the level of a threat to world peace and security."

Drifting dope policy
Since Afghan drug lords' special rep Richard Holbrooke, in cahoots with CIA and Karzai Bros Drug Inc., hijacked US Afghan policy, DEA & SOF counternarcotics strategy has gone into a tailspin and the war on drugs has been jettisoned in favor of micro-soft policy on dope.

The US newly-professed Drug Control Policy in Afghanistan has endorsed unconditional prohibition & abolition of opium poppy elimination & eradication under disguise of lavish lip service to drug interdiction & interception.

The demolition of counternarcotics strategy in the United States has triggered inevitable chain reaction:

• NSS, National Security Strategy has been carefully doctored to omit the Afghan Drug Control of US foreign policy.

• The status of the American delegation at the International Forum in Moscow this month correctly reflected the irrelevance of the of the Afghan drag challenge for the White House and the absence of a foolproof counter-narcotics strategy to present & promote. That's why it was no match to the Russian delegation: US president or veep, Drug Control Tsar, DEA, FBI, State Dept. Chiefs; US/ISAF Commander and Ambassador to Afghanistan, the Committees Chairmen of Senate & Congress were all AWOL, mysteriously misled by "the most wanted" individual -- the nefarious narco troubadour from the Foggy Bottom.

• Consequently, the US media was politically correct to pay as much attention to the Afghan Drug Cancer as the White House -- that is, between zilch & zip.
Conclusion: so far, America is able, but not willing, to protect Afghanistan from the Drug Menace. Russia is willing, but unable to execute its counter-narcotics strategy -- until Afghanistan remains a US protectorate and the State Department foreign policy is manipulated by the narco moles.

@stevievandokken Afghan Drug killing is so huge - Russia should fight it by any means, before loosing so many young people .This has to be stopped by UN SC as well with Russia screaming about as loud as possible

[StarvingForTruth]

And if I had to guess, the US government is very pleased that this effect is happening in Russia. Anything to weaken the other players in the Caspian basin who might ever present an obstacle to access to the world's remaining oil reserves.

In America, the poor and the minorities play the role of the Russians - the people who get hooked to fund the black market and those who profit by it. It is no accident. It is by design.

@StarvingForTruth

well said!!!

[StarvingForTruth]

This is now a well established western tactic. The British had their Opium wars. The Americans (my country) has done this kind of shit in Vietnam, South America, and now Afghanistan. They generate billions of off the books dollars to fund ... god knows what. Mainly killing people I suppose. Illegal wars. CIA operations. Etc.

Meanwhile, my countrymen busy themselves with getting fatter and dumber by the day, and they could care less what evils their tax dollars fund. A true shame.

@StarvingForTruth So much Evil going around lately.

@SaveSouthOssetia

thanks. this just happens to be an issue (the international drug trade/government involvement) i've been a bit obsessed with for a good while now. the facts are out there for people to put together, but it requires a desire to really know what's going on. it takes a lot of patience and sifting through stories. dunno. for all the dangers of them, a big dent in the cartels would start with decriminalization - hit the profit motive. save money, fund treatment centers...

@SaveSouthOssetia

I suppose power and wealth have a lot to do with it. Tribalism too. I guess I'm just a different breed. I've never really understood this. Then again, I grew up in a safe place, so maybe I can't relate. But the Bush's, for example, grew up in VERY good comfort, and they STILL can't help but be evil. I just don't know. All I want from this life and world is for people to somehow get along. Life could be SO MUCH better. I know this. We have it in us.

@stevievandokken

I can't believe in what are you saying. Drug lords are far from Moscow and they are to dirty to see any official for this matter.

it is very easy to smuggle drugs around in Asia. Drug dealers do not have to bribe anyone, just sell to right people. Problem is a enormous drug production in Afghanistan that became legal under NATO occupation. May be Russophobes in NATO keep it that way in order to damage Russia?
