Fentanyl Crisis.

Fentanyl is one of the drugs known to relieve aches and pains, and it can be addictive. At the same dose, fentanyl is 100 times stronger than morphine. That's why fentanyl is more dangerous than other opioid drugs.

Lately, the American public has been shocked again by the fentanyl crisis. Over 100,000 people died from drug overdoses between August 2021 and August 2022. This fact makes me sad. At first, I thought this was an American domestic problem. Just like how the American government deals with cases of mass shootings due to the possession of firearms. Just like drug addiction cases that occur in any country in the world. Who do you accuse if your child is addicted to drugs while your neighbor's child is fine?

What caught my attention is that this case is turning towards the desire to sanctions and political fervor. This is exacerbated by hyperbolic sentences from the biased media. US Senator Chuck Schumer wants to push for legislation that would sanction China for its alleged role in producing fentanyl. He blamed China for the overdose deaths of tens of thousands of Americans. Why is the focus of accusations only on China when fentanyl smuggling also comes from Mexico, India, or maybe other sources?

Washington accuses China of being the cause of this crisis. Beijing accuses Washington of using the fentanyl crisis as a pretext to impose sanctions on China. Seemingly, the mutual accusations between Washington and Beijing have spilled over into the absurd.

  1. This remind me of the opium war history, which caused Hong Kong being leased to England for 100 years.

    1. It's their domestic problem. What makes it interesting is the tendency to blame others.

    1. Ada juga, tapi resmi dari industri farmasi dan harus resep dokter. Tidak seperti di Amerika yang sumbernya dari organisasi kriminal kartel narkoba.

      Mengenai pertarungan dua negara besar? Hmm... saya pikir itu masalah kriminal yang dibalut semangat sinofobia oleh para elit Amerika.

    1. Menurut saya, ada 3 faktor utama untuk menjadi negara superpower: 1) Kekuatan ekonomi. 2) Kemandirian dan penguasaan teknologi tinggi. 3) Kekuatan militer.
      Dari ketiga faktor utama itu Cina dianggap berpotensi besar untuk menyaingi dominasi negara-negara barat. Apalagi Cina itu Asia, bukan barat.

      Naluri manusia itu pada dasarnya ingin "dianggap lebih" dari orang lain, dan enggan untuk disaingi.

Aware or just a dream

Dear readers, if you are a regular visitor of this blog, perhaps you still remember my post titled " If One Why Different " (posted on 1 September 2008). In that post, I wrote about how I heard badly debate of religions among my friends when we gathered together, that is, each person seeks to maintain his own opinion namely his religion is the most relevant in this century. Within that post you may also read my thoughts as the response to them, as well as readers comment, and I would like to rewrite my thoughts as below: Humans have existed far before any religions emerge on this earth. The universe has existed far before the humans and religions. And... God, only one God, has existed far before the universe, humans, and any religions. Who is the owner of my soul, your soul and the soul of all creatures in this world? Only one or many? If only one, then why must we be different. Please readers do not feel confused with the question "why we must different" because ...

VETO VS DEMOCRACY

In this post I only quotes the things associated with the two words above. Please use your sense and read carefully to find and feel the fundamental differences from it. VETO According to Wikipedia : A veto, Latin for I FORBID , is used to denote that a certain party has the right to stop unilaterally a certain piece of legislation. In practice, the veto can be ABSOLUTE (as in the U.N. Security Council, whose permanent members can block any resolution). In the United Nations Security Council, the five permanent members (the United States, Russia, the People's Republic of China, France and the United Kingdom) have veto power in substantive matters, though NOT in procedural ones. If any of these countries votes against a proposal, it is REJECTED , even if all of the other member countries vote in favor. According to Global Policy Forum : "The five permanent members of the Security Council (China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and United States) ENJOY the privilege of veto po...

The inner voices when I am get old

One day in January 2010, I visited my grandfather (father of my mother) and my grandmother (grandmother of my wife). I can feel how happy they are with my presence, as well as myself. I can see despite their spirit remain alive but I can not deny that their physical ability has decreased naturally. So I start to think how if I'm getting old like them. While thinking of it, suddenly my mind remembered a touching story that was discovered by my family. Whatever I have feel and imagine, I pour it into this post. Hopefully your love to the elderly and your parents will be more. When I'm get old. When I spilled vegetable broth on my clothes, when I no longer remember how to tie a tie, when I no longer remember how to tie shoelaces, remember the time how I teach and guide you to do that. While I am senile and constantly repeating the word that bores you, please be patient to listen to me, do not interrupt me, in the days of your childhood, with affection I kept repeating a fairy tale...
