Hungary's government launches war on drugs

Hungary already had one of the strictest drug laws in the EU, but now penalties are being further increased. While many people support the tougher regulations, research suggests that law enforcement alone is not enough to solve the problem.

    Orban my dear. Fighting a war on drugs only makes sense if you can use it as a pretext to send your army to the countries where the drugs come from. It makes more sense if you then can control the drug trade to destabilize neighboring countries, control the impoverished poor in your country and use the earnings from the drug trade to finance weapon smuggle for another war that your parliament forbid you to finance.

    I know you want step two and three, but without having an army big enough to send into the producing countries to begin with, it will only get you so far. You should leave this to your bigger brothers.

    Yeah, because fighting a war on drugs has worked so well for every other country that’s tried it.

    “I saw in the pub at the weekend that they are now drinking. They were gathered together, talking, and then they were drinking. I’m really glad that they’ve stopped having that crystal and everything. There really aren’t any drugs in Tarnazsadány, you can’t find them anymore,” he said.

    lol
