Just checked the link at least three times, and I don't see how this is related to the article.

Are you reading the same article or did you post this by accident?

While the comment may seem off-topic, geopolitics dont happen in a vacuum. You move chess pieces over to one side and you create spaces for your opponents.

Now that isn't to say I think the U.S. does no economic tweaking and fiddling in foreign nations...
