Fentanyl overdoses have surged to the leading cause of death for adults between the ages of 18 and 45, according to an analysis of U.S. government data.
Between 2020 and 2021, nearly 79,000 people between 18 and 45 years old — 37,208 in 2020 and 41,587 in 2021 — died of fentanyl overdoses, the data analysis from opioid awareness organization Families Against Fentanyl shows.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that can be deadly even in very small amounts, and other drugs, including heroin, meth and marijuana, can be laced with the dangerous drug. Mexico and China are the primary sources for the flow of fentanyl into the United States, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

China was sending Muslim Uighurs into Afghanistan to fight the Americans.
I wonder how the Taliban will react to Chinese attempts to infiltrate into the Afghan economy? After all, one of the first things the Taliban did after taking over was to disarm all civilians. This sounds a bit like Marxism to me.
I worked with a Sudeten German. After Germany annexed the Sudetenland he volunteered for the Waffen SS. His father protested to the camp Commander he was being too harshly treated in Boot Camp. He was arrested and a Dissenter and sent to the camps in Germany. The last I heard he still had not found a trace of him. Many people disappeared in those camps.
He was also captured by the Russians. He was riding on a prison wagon with a female guard. She fell asleep and dropped her rifle. He jumped off the wagon, retrieved the rifle and awakened her. she gave him a big kiss and told him, "If I had lost my rifle they would have killed me." He was one of the few to be repatriated. Most died in the Gulag as late as 1952. :-/
