This was actually first mentioned during the Viet Nam war.

The Taliban actually eradicated poppy cultivation. It wasn’t brought back until we took over. Those poppies were used to fuel the opioid crisis.

Well, for a year (2001). 1999 was the best year ever, though, up to that point and that was under the Taliban.
Afghanistan only produces 2 things in significant numbers:
1. Violent, backward, ignorant human beings and,
2. Opium poppies
So, WTF are they supposed to do to earn a living?

My plan right after 9-11 would have saved us that problem. They were aiding and abetting Bin Laden and allowing terror groups on their soil. They grow poppies that are ultimately being used to kill Americans. We have no friends there.
We had just been hit. The nation would have supported any action we so chose to take and no one would have dared said anything about it.
We had a window. We should have used it to nuke the terrorist camps, Tora Bora, the Poppy Fields and any other targets in Afghanistan we deemed necessary. At the same time and elsewhere any SOB that had anything to do with 9-11 eats a Tomahawk or is assassinated.
We never set foot in Afghanistan. We let it be known that anyone that strikes us again will be instantly destroyed by nuclear strike. Jihad is over, boys. Shove that up your Wahabi. and eat Shi'ite, push us and get a visit from Mr. Kiloton and Mr. Megaton.
They would truly have feared us then. Many of the problems we have faced since that time, we would not have have, and a lot of Americans would be alive and well today that are not.
But the MIC doesn't make money that way. If the MIC doesn't make money they can't afford politicians. Fixing the problem is just not as profitable.

Grow saffron. It’s actually a higher margin crop than poppies, but it’s more labor intensive.

I'm pretty sure we are fighting a bunch of scumbags
Whether we should be fighting them is a different matter
