It's been the USA (Rothschild) way for a long time now. We don't have nearly 
900 military bases (or installations) all over the world to protect our 
borders. They're there to kneecap countries who won't toe the line. 
Unfortunately for them, BRICS is breaking up the monopoly. If the 
Rosthschild's don't get their "vig" from every international transaction 
(via control of the dollar) their empire will collapse. Can't wait for that 
to happen.
