He highlights sophisticated narco-subs shipping cocaine to Asia, Africa, and Australia, where a kilo fetches $200,000 in Saudi Arabia, and notes U.S. demand remains high despite fentanyl’s dominance. Markowski questions past U.S. involvement, like CIA ties to South Central LA and guarding Afghan poppy fields, and doubts solutions like legalization or forced recovery, emphasizing that demand drives supply. He recommends Forero’s article for its insight into this persistent, complex issue. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
