I agree perfectly with your point of view, you will be able to see in the continuation of my post (which you truncated ...) that my first sentence makes reference to their ruling elites,
in what I call a military-industrial complex, the expression being, moreover, of Eisenhower who had sensed the wind coming more than 40 years ago.
I would now say that the US is just a vast politico-military-industrial complex entirely based on oil.
It's a bit of a caricature, but sometimes the caricature is not far from the truth.
Putin is doing the same in Russia, except that he outright fires all those who are in place to put his friends from the United Russia party or his friends from the "KGB", thus, the companies become puppets in the service of power. central. In the USA, the culture is still a little more libertarian.
But the one who wants to succeed thoroughly (ie having markets) will have to lick the boots of the military and make bows in front of the White House.
