"From 2002 through September 2018, the United States has committed an average of more than $1.5 million a day to help the Afghan government combat narcotics.
Thinking what was really meant was instead of combat narcotics it meant controlling narcotics. The CIA has a proven history of drug dealing, as well as using it on their mind control projects.
Yup, controlling narcotics is the game more than likely. It's a front of a 'fight' while the black ops dealings helps to smuggle shit for their black budget coffers.
