Livingston tells it like it is. US has/is & will continue trying to neo-colonize the world. It finds its straw dogs in resource rich socialistic nations and publishes vile piss about them until what the US government says is perceived as being factual...drama sways the public in the USA and of course our major media outlets are owned and operated by extremely rich people who benefit from the drama until as in Iraq we act and murder countless innocent people.

US uses the politics of extortion to blunder its bombastic way through world politics. If you trade with Iran we will sanction your country, same line in Iran, and now Venezuela. Of course the ones who suffer the most from these sanctions are poor people, not rich leaders.

Iraq, Iran, Venezuela are all countries whose major commonality, sad to say, is Oil.

Long read....but very interesting.
I will have to ponder some things in that piece....and I might reread it too just to make sure I didn't miss anything. It might be too early right now to fully process all the information.

I need more coffee....
