I hadn't heard that theory before, but it seems sound to me. Thank you for introducing me to it. Another reason for the War on Drugs is simply that it gives an enormous amount of power to the government. It does have to be said that the main reason why America's wars start in the first place is simply to prop up the dollar as the established world-reserve currency. I have given the examples before that Saddam wanted to trade oil for euros, and Gaddafi was about to issue a gold-backed dinar. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuqZfaj34nc)) The attempt to overthrow Assad with ISIS was, I suppose, about opposing Russia, which has been trying to de-dollarize since the financial crisis of 2008.
