PDB Situation Report | December 28th, 2024: Ukraine's Weapons Surge & America's Fentanyl Crisis

You know, that was talked a lot about. And you had millions of people taking prescriptions there. Hundreds of thousands addicted. And when all the lawsuits happened and they started taking that down and they started saying, you can't get that prescription, the doctors stopped giving it less. The Mexican cartels and they they're insidious, really bad people, but they're good business people.

And they saw a void and they jumped right in. They already had the distribution network. They were already doing illicit drugs of all different types. They had human trafficking already going so they knew how to get across the border. So it was made ready for them. And they just jumped into that void. And that's phase one of the crisis.

Both. And I think initially it was purely about money. I think it was the criminal bad actors seeing this as a way to fill that supply void, if you will, and make a lot of money. Then over time, I think the regime, the Communist Party of China, sits there and goes, hold on a second. We're making hard cash. We're getting greenbacks to come into our economy. And now we're weakening our adversary.

And so they were able to make some money initially, but they now have that extra benefit of weakening their adversary. And so I think initially it was probably about money. And then they realized, wow, we got even maybe a better benefit of weakening our adversary than just the money bringing in.

So we we got Canada's attention. Now we got Mexico's attention.
