CIA controls production, the US military kills the competition with Hellfire missiles, CBP controls drug routes into and out of the US, and ICE raids the local distributors?

Seems good that Fakafanua has apparently become prime minister of Tonga and also is an alum of my institution.
Am also friends with some of those students and occasionally we wonder about a world where that was not the first one but the last one.
