    A brief reminder to everyone:

    The “drug cartels” are terrorist organizations controlled and in the service of US imperialism. The “war on drugs” is an instrument of imperialist geopolitical power that traps people between the violence of drug trafficking and US military intervention. The drug cartels were created by them just like ISIS and Boko Haram.

    The US uses these cartels to further their imperialist agendas in the region and the cartels help the imperialists to distract people from the exploitation that they are doing in the region. If you want to learn more, give this book a read:

      Thank you! I watched some (surprisingly) Amazon docuseries on this but I’ve wanted to read an actual book on the subject so thank you for the recommendation!

      Boko Haram was created by the US? This is the first I’m hearing this

        If you need evidence in case this appears in a conversation in your daily life, US Congressman Scott Perry mentions this during the inaugural hearing of the Subcommittee on DOGE.

        Some Nigerian media even shared this:

        Former foreign affairs minister, Prof Bolaji Akinyemi, lent credence to the military chief’s assertions during a February 17 interview on Arise TV.

        “I served on the Boko Haram committee, and villagers consistently told us about helicopters flown by foreigners that kept landing in Borno with arms, ammunition, and cash,” he said.
