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.

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...

NEW YEAR 2009 - Just Sharing

Although 2008 has passed, it does not mean that all problems has been passed, such as war, hunger, refugees, and the most dangerous is climate change which will destroy our earth slowly like a cancer. Yes, slowly but sure! Let take action to slow its change. At the other hand, maybe young people will be happy, perhaps they feels has become adult and proudly says "I am not a child anymore". Feels like holding "VISA" to access all things labeled "For 17 years above". But I say you will facing more burden and responsibility in future. It same like me when became adult and got marriage. Older people maybe says "Soon I will pension and enjoy the life because all my children has been marriage". But the life problems always belong to you as long as you are in this world. At least you will feel sad if your children fail in their life. During my life, I ever met people who follow atheism and said "I do NOT believe the existence of God. Life is 100% o...

In Memory, my beloved brother

Actually, I do not think to make this post. But at one night, suddenly I look at his photo and remembered all his kindness and beautiful memories when he was still with us. Since December 23th, 2007, my beloved brother Rudiansyah Guyana has left us forever. He was a kind-hearted man, helpful to others, a man who love his family, an independent person, hard worker, and always want to go forward to reach for his dreams in order to be success in life and marry using his own money. I still remember when I was in hard conditions, he always gave genuine support. I never forget when I get married... he by sincerely gave some money to me by saying "For anything". Although a very little amount, but in sincerity I felt touched, moreover I knew he got it with very hard. And now... despite I'm a manager who have sizable income, I have no way to reply his kindness because he already went to the other world, forever. Feels like facing the door that was closed for me. For my lifetime I...
