Описание: Уильям Ф.Энгдаль рассматривает малоизвестные подробности войн и манипуляций, организованных за последние полвека или больше - это войны в Африке, неправильно называемая "арабская весна", Ирак, Афганистан, разграбление советских нефтяных ресурсов и др. Всё это делается для поддержания контроля над основными мировыми месторождениями нефти. Миф о дефиците нефти был столпом власти нефтяных магнатов, которая является олицетворением господства США как единственной сверхдержавы.
F. William Engdahl discusses little-known details of wars and manipulations designed over the past half century or more - wars in Africa, the mis-named Arab Spring, Iraq, Afghanistan, grabbing the Soviet oil resorces, etc. All to maintain a lock-grip control of the world's known oilfields. The myth of oil scarcity has been a pillar of their power and in fact of the power-projection of the United States as sole superpower.
