Let’s not forget that the rule by the Colonels in Greece didn’t just happen; our guys helped bring it about. (The Wikipedia page on Operation Gladio is not too bad for background.)

This is a surprising guest coming from an American. Our competition with imaginary superpowers of the future has won every contest yet with jobs, benefits, etc.
