One Million Bottles of Extra-Strength Sudafed, Please. Japan has identified three factories — apparently of its own colonial-era contruction — that are now used to produce the high-quality meth now sold on its streets. If you know where to look, you can find them in Chongjin, Wonsan, and Nampo. There may also be a fourth in the area of Sinuiju.

One thing we could do is work with Japan on interdicting NK vessels believed to be transporting drugs in the Sea of Japan or near other Japanese ports.

Of course, this would cause a lot of people to go batshit. The talk of Japan rearming and moving toward regional domination again would flare up – as well as the idea the US is pushing it to prepare for future geopolitical conflict with China. It would set back Japan’s relations with Korea and China – when they are already terrible (on the surface) with South Korea. And it would damage US relations with those two nations. And it might lead to NK doing some bloody provocative things.

And that is the world we live in…..

Where moves to actively and publically combat a bad situation everybody knows is going on ——- NK as a state making and smuggling meth – one of the most destructive drugs around today (just come to Georgia to see) —- ….when moves to combat this drug smuggling would create a whole boat load of more bad blood between allies ————– than the bad acts themselves create for the enemy….among some of those allies …. and the world media…
