They did sell drugs, they also sell people.
But in normie land they only sold drugs to fund liberation movements abroad, and the amount probably won't equal enough for our christmas lightshow unless that was the sole purpose of their multidecade drug trafficking regime.
The normie narrative still makes no sense if you do napkin math on it. Some advisor in congress who isn't on senility meds and can add will see the "conventional US gov spends tens of billions to send out hundreds of stealth drones... for reasons" makes no sense. 99% of the people who are saying "it's our government" have a vision of black ops slightly more advanced next gen drones, not stuff that got tech transferred to them by 8 foot tall reptiles.
One of the smartset people on twitter's favorite running darkhorse theory is that this is Anduril, which would again require hundreds to thousands of these up to compensate for taking some of the fleet down for maintenance.
