🪖 #KriegohneSieger – der „ 💥 #WaronDrugs” der 🇺🇸 #USA

✍️ Text: 👩‍🎨 #DortheMarch

Das #Drogenproblem ist eine #Erfindung des 20. Jahrhunderts, an dem die #USA bis heute scheitern, sagt #Historikerin #HelenaBarop: „Bei dem Versuch, #Drogenimporte aus der #Türkei, #Frankreich, #Thailand, #Burma, #Laos und #Mexiko zu verhindern, verstrickte sich die #Supermacht zwischen 1950 und 1979 in einen zermürbenden globalen #Drogenkrieg.”
