By "we" I mean the US government. I'm in disbelief at what an ex-friend told me about recently. Apparently, despite the War on Drugs and fight against drug cartels or other organized crime groups, we supposedly negotiate with them over weapons or other trade items. Assuming this isn't bullshit I'm honestly wondering what the crusade against these evil people are for then. Aren't we supposed to DESTROY shit like cartels? I also watched a shitty anime called Black Lagoon where something similar is a plot point and an acclaimed movie called Sicario where it's even crazier.
All this said, I further wonder what the point of the DEA is then.
