2015-11-10 Noam Chomsky: America's Empire of Chaos
=========
US policies in the 20th century involved military and covert actions, designed to gain power over local resources and local markets for US corporations.
In contrast, in the 21st century, with general decline in global US influence, intervention is designed to spread chaos and destroy other nations and their infrastructure.
The reasons? Is it because the US has little to export today?
Chomsky's explanation: When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
