    "Customs ... called the discovery ... the biggest amphetamine seizure ever made worldwide.

    ... Investigators believe the drug’s production provides IS with vital revenue for its militant activities. Investigators hypothesize that amphetamine production in Europe was hampered by the pandemic lockdown ...

    The amphetamines were labeled captagon, the street name for a drug whose chemical base is fenethylline. "

    Fake News. He never said that. I double dog dare you to produce a source and a pull quote to back up your claim.

    Obama Repeatedly Ignored Intelligence Briefings on the Rise of ISIS.

    [​IMG]

    One of the most significant intelligence blunders of the past decade: the failure of the Obama-Biden administration to stop the rise of ISIS.

    A national security staffer in the Obama-Biden administration told the Daily Mail in 2014 that Barack Obama was getting “highly accurate predictions” about the rise of the ISIS “before the 2012 election.” The intelligence was described as “actionable.”

    Rather than accept responsibility for his failure, Obama publicly faulted his Director of National Intelligence, James Crapper, for underestimating ISIS.

    A former Pentagon official also told then-Fox News national security correspondent Catherine Herridge that Obama received “specific intelligence” about the rise of ISIS in his presidential daily briefings for at least a year:

    According to Lt. General Michael Flynn, who was Obama’s former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Obama White House ignored reports warning about the rise of ISIS in 2011 and 2012 because they did not fit Obama’s reelection narrative that al Qaeda was on the run and that we were winning the war on terror.

    “I think that they did not meet a narrative the White House needed. And I’ll be very candid with you, they just didn’t,” Flynn told CNN in 2015. “I think the narrative was that al Qaeda was on the run, and (Osama) bin Laden was dead. … They’re dead and these guys are, we’ve beaten them.”

    So, while Obama was warned, repeatedly, with accurate and actionable intelligence about the rise of ISIS.

    Territory in Iraq was quickly lost to ISIS as they grew in strength and numbers thanks to the incompetence and inaction of the Obama-Biden administration. It took Donald Trump becoming commander in chief to defeat ISIS.

    Good on the Italians for making this bust.

    remember when ISIS rose to become one of the most deadly terrorist organizations in world history? when they took over and controlled an entire region?

    now they have no land and essentially are failed drug traffickers. thanks president trump!
