    BBC News: Russia blames Nato for heroin surge from Afghanistan

    About 90% of the world's heroin supply originates in Afghanistan
    --------------------------------------------------------------

    The head of Russia's federal drug control agency has accused Nato of not doing enough to curb the production of heroin in Afghanistan.

    Victor Ivanov said at least 30,000 people died in Russia every year from heroin, 90% of it from Afghanistan.

    He blamed the Obama administration for ending a military drive to destroy opium poppy crops in Afghan fields.

    The US said the practice was alienating farmers and driving them to support the Taliban.

    This is not the first time Mr Ivanov has lambasted Nato for failing to stamp out drug production in Afghanistan.

    He said leaving poppy fields guaranteed immunity for drug producers.

    Russia says the consequence has been a flood of cheap heroin in to Central Asia and Russia.

    Mr Ivanov said drug production in Afghanistan was now a global destabilising factor, particularly for Russia.

    Russia is believed to have around five million drug addicts, half of whom are addicted to heroin.

    Even Russia confirms what JI has been saying about USA/Nato.

    We know who's pocketing the profits, the good old invading armed forces. But if they have to stay on in Afghanistan until their economy is blown skyhigh for all to see, so be it.

    Assalam-o-Alaikum-Warahmat-ULLAH ALL,

    Jews are deliberately taking US down the drain, yet 306+ million people of USA can't help the situation. They are unable to deal with this tiny elite, who is destroying their future, single-handedly, as mentioned with facts, ground realities by people like Max Keiser, in his program: 'Keiser Report'.

    "Jews are deliberately taking US down the drain"

    I wish this could be expanded to include the entire west. There is not one west country which is safe from direct or indirect Jewish control. If anyone thinks EU is not a wholly Jewish construct, they are, alas, being wilfully blind.

    @Mirza Ghalib: I fully agree with you.

    Recently, I have posted Max Keiser's videos on this forum, in which he gives facts, hard evidence for the same.

    Indeed, the Keiser reports have been watched with great interest and have added much to our general knowledge how the world had become the unbearable place it has since the beginning of the new century.

    Another thing that srikes me: the similarities between US and Pakistan. We, too, find ourselves helpless in dealing with our own "tiny elite" which is driving us straight down the path to bankruptcy and renewed subjugation.

    Well, let's hope Igor Panarin is right and America starts its break up process come the spring. Once that's achieved, Pakistan too can start breathing again.

    Look, some thirty years ago, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Some twenty years ago, the Soviet form of communism collapsed. Today's Russia is very different from the Soviet Union of yore. Iran has recognised the change and is now a close ally. Pakistan is also aware of the changes. Nothing surprising then that Russian sources provide information enabling one to criticise the present enemy, USA/NATO. What a difference twenty years make, eh?

    @yahya87: You are here, just to criticize for the sake of criticizing. We are not :-)

    If you were strong with Islam, if you adhered to the principles of;

    (1) honesty
    (2) justice
    (3) bravery

    you'd know the difference.

    Politics makes strange bedfellows.
    Misery also acquiants with strange bedfellows
    Shakespear in The Tempest....

    Alas, the storm is come again! my best way is to creep under his gaberdine; there is no other shelter hereabouts: misery acquaints a man with strange bed-fellows. I will here shroud till the dregs of the storm be past.

    @zia m: Russians are not the people to duck when there's a raging storm.

    Russians are not scared cats, like Pakistani people.

    They also face the storm, face forward.
