Let’s put it this way- the U.S. is the empire, the empire controls the world- minus China, Russia and Iran.
The controls the exchange rate of currency. The U.S. can bankrupt any nation they want.
About 10 yrs ago Japan was running its mouth to kick the U.S. forces out, who have been occupying Japan since WW2.
The Japanese people protest in front of the U.S. embassy daily.
Wall Street invented a “defect” in he Toyotas , their stock went down( Wall Street has the majority shares) and so did Japan’s economy. Not until the Japanese govt shut their mouth did Wall Street brought their stock back up.
At the time I had a Toyota and remembered the (fake) recall. It was a hassle bringing the car in to the dealership.
I got to talking to the mechanics and to my surprise and delight they knew it was all manufactured by Wall Street to punish Japan for the mere “crime” of wanting US military out of their country, thus be a sovereign state.
