Pardon my ignorance, but where is the discussion of the habitual mafia tactic of offering nations foreign aid that comes with conditions and encourages dependence? Such as take out a huge loan from the IMF, limit all of your nation's productivity to a commodity that the US wants, and export it to US at cheap prices (enriching us not you), import your basic needs from the US (enriching us not you), and if you do not follow orders from the US, we will pull the rug out from under you. A la Confessions of an Economic Hit Man? Don't we do that to every nation who receives foreign aid or are we selective? I was surprised that pattern was not mentioned here.
The case against huemanity!!!
