For more than a decade, the United States has faced a relentless and heartbreaking increase in fatal drug overdoses driven by synthetic opioids. A new analysis suggests this trend has suddenly reversed due to a major disruption in the global supply chain of illicit fentanyl. Published in Science, the study indicates that regulatory actions taken by the Chinese government, following high-level diplomatic engagement with the Biden administration, may be the primary driver behind this unexpected decline in mortality.
There might be a difference now. The US has always warmongered, but it did know who it could gonafter without consequences. Geopolitically, Vietnam, Iraq, and all these other countries hardly mattered. These could be attacked and nobody would lift a finger to stop it.
Greenland would be different. That would damage the relationship with its European allies a lot. A relationship the USA has depended on for a long time.
