Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] Beautiful.

British experts are concerned that the Taliban are destroying Afghanistan's drug industry.

This is stated in the publication of The Telegraph.

The article says that the Taliban have declared war on drug production, destroying 80% of poppy crops in Afghanistan, which was previously the largest exporter of opiate drugs in the world.

“Taliban fighters move from farm to farm, destroying poppy crops and punishing violators,� the publication says.

However, The Telegraph experts see this as a negative.

Miraculously, in the last year of the Taliban in power before the US invasion, Afghanistan achieved the largest reduction in the production of heroin and poppy crops since the early 90s.

Since the return of the Taliban to power 2 years ago, drug production has steadily declined.

But during the occupation of Afghanistan by the United States and its satellites, the area of ​​poppy crops and the volume of drug production set annual records.

British "experts" see this as a negative.

PS, For those who don't understand why the Taliban are cutting back on drug production. This is one of the conditions for international recognition by a number of countries, including Russia, China and Iran.
