By the end of World War II, the United States had become a serial meddler in the affairs of the nations of the world, friend and foe alike.
American intelligence services took particular aim at Third World and Western countries with large Communist Parties, and at countries on the other side of what used to be called “the Iron Curtain.”
Meddling there took some doing before the implosion of the Soviet Union. It still does in China and North Korea, and in countries with strong states, like Iran, that resist American domination. However, our intelligence services are well resourced and determined.
They are also inept. Therefore, their machinations fail as often as not.--AL
The great Andrew Levine spells it out for the lazy-minded.
A weekend's worth of goodness.
Bonus track.
