8. The capitalists are fighting each other now.

It’s the West (G7) vs. BRICS. Given the absence of a socialist superpower like we had with the Soviet Union, this was inevitable. Venezuela’s oil absolutely must be traded in U.S. petrodollars or our economy could collapse as the BRICS nations want to go to a different currency.

That’s all this is about. It has nothing to do with dictators, drugs or “liberation.” It’s also the real reason we went to Iraq in 2003.

If they were honest about it they’d probably have more support.
