While true, most can get behind and invasion of Mexico if they don't clean themselves up

Well we need to close off our borders before we go invading them lol
But honestly out of all the crazy wars the US is so close to getting into, cracking down on Mexican cartels would probably do more positive for America than fucking around in Iran, Ukraine, Gaza, etc.
Leaving Taiwan and China off that list. They'd have a very direct effect on us.

Mexico is right next door and has been making lots of problems for you.
You should have taken it over centuries ago.
It would be a net positive to rid Mexico of tje cartels honestly.
Let's take Canada next. Maybe all the Caribbean Islands as well.
Make North America, just America

You forgot the smaller shitty countries around the neck of the north America "funnel".
But lots of crap comes from that direction.
Everything north if South America

Revanchism is pathetic. China will eventually, I am willing to bet, do something stupid and get smacked for it. And they will still not learn their lesson.
That's because Trump is a moron. And the very idea of secret dictators is the sort of oxymoron only conspiracy theorists can believe in. The type that think absence of any evidence to prove their theories is just proof of how good the coverup was.

The USA CAN'T afford to waste 1.5 trillion dollars on illegal though. Printing more money to do so is immensely damaging.
The politicians complaining that SSN is running out of money because the govt looted it are being honest.
The politicians saying we can do either are just relying on mass money printing.

it is used as a painkiller after surgery.
And many people given it as a painkiller become addicts.
So you can and should absolutely ban it.
Use any of the other, weaker opiods as painkiller pills. (or better yet, non opium based painkillers)
hell, just use straight up opium. as it is the weakest and less addictive compared to all the artificial super concentrated artificial opiods variants.
Also for anesthesia in heart surgeries and for those with weak heart:
What is fentanyl? Uses, misuse, and side effects
Fentanyl is an opioid narcotic analgesic with a high misuse potential. Learn more about its medical uses and possible health risks.

Yeah, use weak ones after surgery, nothing will go wrong...
Efficacy of Remifentanil in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
Remifentanil, characterized by its ultra-short action duration and nonorgan-dependent metabolism, is applied in postcardiac surgery settings worldwide. While previous studies have compared its efficacy with that of other opioids, it has never been compared ...

Japan doesn't have the problem even though they also use it in hospitals.
Also how many of the US abusers even started with a major surgery?
If anything, it's the non-hospital legal uses that are far more of an addiction driver.

You want to invade every country that doesn't transition kids.
I want to invade ones that do as well.
Canada is top of the list!
Poland, Taiwan, Japan and many others say otherwise...
And you want any country that sucks up to China or its allies to not be invaded.

1. The study you linked is not about painkillers pills perscribed to patients.Also for anesthesia in heart surgeries and for those with weak heart:
What is fentanyl? Uses, misuse, and side effects
Fentanyl is an opioid narcotic analgesic with a high misuse potential. Learn more about its medical uses and possible health risks.

It is about people in intensive care unit recovering from open heart surgery. And comparing the recovery time to the opiod injected by the anesthiologist
2. the study is focused about Remifentanil (which it argues is the best) not Fentanyl. Those are not the same thing. This metastudy is comparing:
Alfentanil
Fentanyl
Morphine
Remifentanil
Sufentanil
with good old morphine performing very well there.
3. even if fentanyl WAS the best drug for the job (it isn't according to your own study, but lets say it was). You have to compare the damages of each option.
USA has has millions of fent addicts, of which hundreds of thousands die per year from overdose. Those millions of addicts are also commiting a lot of violent crime.
meanwhile the USA has about 500 heart transplants per year.
For any surgery other than a heart transplant it would be vastly better off using minimally invasive surgery instead of cracking open someone's chest for an open heart surgery.
4. There might exist some other surgery where fentanyl is actually the best anesthesia drug for use during surgery... But this is one of those "this is why we can't have nice things" moments.

If democracy really is so great, then why are Western governments consistently pushing policies that majority of their population is opposed to?
Do try to answer that.
No it is not, and the only meaningful connection between illegal fentanyl and medical system, as in outside hospitals, that the other article mentioned, you just ignored, while playing amateur surgery expert to boot.
Democracy is tyranny, it's a truly shitty system.
B/C they aren't a Democracy or a Republic.
Not the response you were looking for Aldarion, but I felt the need to answer.
God, I hate government and their busy-body Karens/Kens.
Nah, I think you're misunderstanding what's happening here. People aren't addicted to fentanyl, and they aren't getting addicted to it during the very short term use that goes on in hospitals, and the supply isn't coming from hospitals. Banning it from hospital use will solve NOTHING.
People are getting addicted to prescription pain killers, yes. Usually those that get an RX to take home. Then they turn to street drugs to get their fix when the RX runs out. Those street drugs are often laced with fentanyl, which is what's causing the ODs. People usually aren't out looking for fentanyl. They're trying to get heroin or black market pills and the shit is laced, and they end up overdosing.
Banning it from hospitals isn't going to stop that from happening, because its not coming from hospitals. Its coming from China and Mexico. Using weaker opiods in the hospital isn't going to stop it either, because again, that's not where its coming from. That's not where most addiction is coming from. It's used to alleviate pain, short term, after surgeries. That's just not the kind of opioid use that's causing the addiction epidemic. They can use whatever opioid their doctor thinks best for their situation after major surgeries.
