It's going to be a rough year for drunks in the North. Great Leader will be requisitioning the rotgut for private stock.

One of the worlds largest producers of the product. None of those two liter bottle sudafed and brake fluid labs for them!

Not to mention their currency counterfeiting. They and the Iranians work together to produce superior 20 through 100 fake dollar bills. In ATM's from coast to coast for nearly 30 years. Euro's too, they're not single currency fly-by-nighter's like your Cousin Ernie.

Supposedly the reason why Kim Jong Nam's detention for using a fake passport was embarrassing wasn't that he was trying to travel incognito to go to a decadent Western institution like Disneyland, but because forged passports are another line of business for the North Koreans.

It's crazy land involving the Iranians and the North Koreans. All that fighting for the Bekaa Valley and the ports of Lebanon for the past 40 years? It's over the opium and hash produced there. It finances  the Mullah-Kim alliance. Trump turning tail and skedaddling in Syria? It opens up wide a drug and weapons transportation ground route from the Med to Karachi, Pakistan.

Way to go Don. I hope pissing hookers were worth selling your country down the road for decades.

Under the rule of noted humanitarians taliban, Astan poppy production plummeted, under W and 0bama, because USMC was protecting the crop, poppy production soared. I suppose this is since Russia is the main user, you know, contribute to the misery of your enemy's people and all that any way you can, also cia charter says cia agents can commit crime to fund operations if the agent his/herselfdoesn't profit. Syria doesn't grow much but sand fleas an terrorists.
