       @EvolLove They also would have a grudge against us about the opium wars, which seems like a good fentanyl motive.

       @MidnightRider The British Empire did that to China. The British Empire did it all on their own. Didn't it also predate the discovery of USA? I mean when they made the Chinese people dependent on opium so they could easier take advantage of China during trade?

       @EvolLove it wasn't the American "government" as much as the privateers.  https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/3/30/opium-at-harvard/

       @MidnightRider I think China or rather some pretty ruthless strategists in China are playing a very long game, hundreds of years and their goal is world domination. To make China the heart of all trade again. They have been doing this for generations. I think it is their holy mission to make us fail.

       @MidnightRider A Yes, the Privateers. I thought they were British. They got a pretty sweet deal those privateers. Talk about the Brits playing dirty.

       @EvolLove I agree, but I see them as a leg of beast, not the whole beast.

       @MidnightRider But I had the idea that the Brits made the Chinese addicted to Opium much earlier than that. I have not read about this in decades though.

       @MidnightRider Too many legs...Lots of bad people doing what comes natural to them. Just how it is. Human nature. The sooner we accept it we will be capable of preventing it.

       @EvolLove The Privateers I think were from all over, people with skills of a navy, but desire to not be in a navy.I see a lot of correlations.  Yes.  Accepting the scale of it, that is truly the hard part.

       @MidnightRider Yes the opium trade. But a few hundred years or more prior to that. The British were the only ones in the world who traded with China. I think they had the monopoly to do so.Maritime laws ruled the world. Passages and harbors. Navy ships patrolling.British ships got permission to attack chops from certain countries. They were not much better than Pirates.Really long time ago there was something about pacifying all of China with opioids. Disaster for China.

       @EvolLove @MidnightRider What I’d heard in a history class was that (stop me if this sounds familiar) China ran trade surpluses with the U.K. and the place turned into a sink for the U.K.’s hard currency.  China refused all measures for equalization of trade until the U.K. found a product with unlimited demand.

       @EvilSandmich @EvolLove U.K. didn't produce it, didn't ship it.  UK's involvement was to force china to open it's ports.  So, where did it come from and how it did get there?

       @EvilSandmich @MidnightRider Something like this. This is something I learned and forgot decades ago.But it was one of those, well it is so long ago so we can talk about it honestly now things. Documentary and all. What you describe sounds familiar. I think the UK bought silk and ceramics among other things.
