First you hit Venezuela with targeted air strikes to take out key infrastructure and lower morale. ......

And look at the disparity in wealth in every country. It has been getting worse and worse with time under the basic tenets of Capitalism being private property and cumulative wealth via money. So now you have a worldwide network of corrupt money laundering and kickbacks and embezzelment. This is the rule of money. And yes all the isms are partaking. This is the world Capitalism has made possible, a world where our species is caught up in a frenzy of greed, selfishness and consumerism. Sadly, also enabled by the rich energy sources of fossil fuels and with even more dire consequences due to our overpopulation.
