French Aristocrat You mean like the Brits, and US soldiers who invaded Iraq in 2003, and turned the entire ME into a shithole? I know, Brit and US soldiers are therefore PERSONALLY responsible for all that followed....civil war, hundreds of thousands of deaths, ISIS, civil war, millions of refugees, Charlie Hebdo, Brussels, the sexual attacks in Cologne....
Yes, I agree.
The soldiers are personally responsible. Correct?

bossman Do you understand the concept of "ulterior motives"?
In other words, a person telling you one thing, but what he REALLY wants to achieve is something completely different....
Politicians do this all the time, and constantly fool the naive.
They promise 'jobs', but what they (and their elite corporate buddies) REALLY want is a big fat bank account on the Caymans, and a mega-yacht in the south of France.
Do you understand this?
In this elite world, there is also a lot of dog-eat-dog infighting. Everybody wants to be the 'top dog', and battles others who also want to be top dog.
Please confirm that you can follow this way the world is set up....
The so-called 'haves' aka 'the establishment' (USA), 'the elites' (western world) or 'the 300' in Russia, etc., etc.
They rule (and have always ruled) the world with the help of their stooges, crooks and cronies........and then there is us, the 'have-nots'....

It was never special.
It all started off soooo gweat...
That "Hollywood movie Band of Brothers"-stuff.
Everyone speaking English.
The good guys...
EPISODE 1:
"By 1901, many influential Britons advocated for a closer relationship between the two countries. W. T. Stead even proposed that year in The Americanization of the World for both to merge to unify the English-speaking world, as doing so would help Britain "continue for all time to be an integral part of the greatest of all World-Powers, supreme on sea and unassailable on land, permanently delivered from all fear of hostile attack, and capable of wielding irresistible influence in all parts of this planet."
[Google: The_Great_Rapprochement]
Sooooo gweat.
Everybody "speaking English" and being "best fwiends".
What could possibly go wrong?
EPISODE 2:
"At the end of the war, Britain, physically devastated and financially bankrupt, lacked factories to produce goods for rebuilding, the materials to rebuild the factories or purchase the machines to fill them, or with the money to pay for any of it. Britain’s situation was so dire, the government sent the economist John Maynard Keynes with a delegation to the US to beg for financial assistance, claiming that Britain was facing a "financial Dunkirk”. The Americans were willing to do so, on one condition: They would supply Britain with the financing, goods and materials to rebuild itself, but dictated that Britain must first eliminate those Sterling Balances by repudiating all its debts to its colonies. The alternative was to receive neither assistance nor credit from the US. Britain, impoverished and in debt, with no natural resources and no credit or ability to pay, had little choice but to capitulate. And of course with all receivables cancelled and since the US could produce today, those colonial nations had no further reason for refusing manufactured goods from the US. The strategy was successful. By the time Britain rebuilt itself, the US had more or less captured all of Britain’s former colonial markets, and for some time after the war’s end the US was manufacturing more than 50% of everything produced in the world. And that was the end of the British Empire, and the beginning of the last stage of America’s rise."

Brits being squeezed like a lemon by US banks, having their Pound crushed by the US dominated IMF, being refused the mutually developed nukes to act as a deterrent against the SU's expansion, munching on war rations till way into the 1950s, losing the Suez Canal in a final attempt at "acting tough" and imposing hegemony over a vital sphere of interest...and going under...lol, "third fiddle" in the "Concerto de Cold War"...
Maybe they should have informed themselves how "empires" tick, because there was another "ring".
A "ring which ruled them all".
The American Century.
So they woke up one morning, only to discover that their "best fwiends forever" had stolen all their markets...

@staciasmith5162 Correct.
This is how all "divide and rule"-setups work, regardless of the tier.
Imperfect systems are not meant to be fair, they are meant to be imperfect, and remain so perpetually.
Despite such terms as "democracy" and "capitalism", which are not MEANT to be fair, but rather to OVERrepresent the existing systems of power perpetually. These systems remain pyramidical in shape, regardless of whatever human system is implemented, which is reality (observation), not idealism (words = an "-ism" = ideology). A large base of the powerless, to which words like "democracy" at least give the semblance of fairness in order to keep the peace; but the top always remains very small. Imagine a 3d pyramid filled with "bubbles" (systems) with many bullies (see below comments thread), which however cannot all be at the top of the pyramid (observation).
Throughout history, this realistic system has been depicted as pyramids, because it is the reality of civlisations, gained by observation.
Not being fair, and not having to be fair ("might is right" as advocated by many as a fair system), means perpetuating eternal systems in which "divide and rule/conquer" thrives, as systems are set up against other systems, and use their "freedumb" to talk, and talk, and talk, and talk It is an imperfect system, which is not capable of change, as is not MEANT to be capable of change.
It is meant to perpetuate the system of divide and rule/conquer, at all levels of human interaction, right on to the top. That means one can compare any system, and reach the same conclusion with regards to people who complain about something which "is not fair": the divide and rule setup IT IS NOT MEANT BE FAIR.
The "people" (demos) are not MEANT to have power.
The minute they strive to overpower the systems of divide and rule/conquer, some or other emergency or new cultural outrage, or a crisis or a war, or whatever, will pop up to create disunity. Really observant members of society, like Maya Angelou ("...with rings through our noses...") and many others have recognized this reality a loooooong time ago, but their words fall on the deaf ears of the masses which are so eternally divided.
