Manipulations of Power: U.S. Covert Operations
This chapter explores the covert operations conducted by the U.S. intelligence community and how initiatives like USAID often serve as fronts for promoting U.S.-style democracy. It emphasizes the declining influence of the U.S. in regions such as Africa and the rise of China's soft power, while critiquing the U.S.'s lack of cultural understanding. Additionally, the chapter reviews historical maritime provocations that have justified U.S. military actions, framing these patterns within past interventions and geopolitical dynamics.
