Each single country on this planet will protect its own interests. Using one single word to describe their actions is rather ignorant. You can't just mark everything the USA does with imperialism, it's far more complicated than that, seeing as many factors are involved in that matter. Oversimplifying matters and then saying that there is no evidence required, when clearly there are people who disagree with you is… I dunno, silly?

If you think that it is not discussion worthy, why post in the first place? :v

Either way, I think Arglax estimated the situation somewhat accurately when he said that the USD pretty much depends on oil.
It's a vicious circle of inflation so ultimately it does not really benefit US but private interests.
