      It's also the exact playbook they did for Yugoslavia

      Having financed the Muhjadeen and opium production in the 80s in Afghanistan against the Soviets....rolling into the 90s the Muhjadeen then went in their thousands to Kosovo

      The US then removed the KLA from their terrorist list (at the time they were a small outfit having achieved very little) then the US started funding them to break Kosovo away from Yugoslavia

      And just like Afghanistan jihadis turned Kosovo into a heroin state
