The Taliban since forcing the ZOG occupiers out of Afghanistan have successfully eliminated the opium trade and destroyed most of the poppy fields that fueled this trade.

 

The opium trade was a big business when the United States military occupied the country. They literally had soldiers guarding poppy fields. Undoubtedly the CIA was profiting off of the trade just like they profited off of drug trafficking during the Vietnam War.

Afghanistan is objectively better off under the Taliban in every respect. They’ve already been striking deals with China to help develop their country and recover from decades of war.
