My information is that CIA and affiliated agencies have been
using some of their spare covert billions to destabilize vulnerable
economies in South America and elsewhere. By inducing
economic hardship they hope to foment unrest and dissent,
resulting in new client and target states for their "services", while
also causing the world's wealth to become concentrated in their
back pockets (the US treasury).

Strife in Africa and the Balkans is simply not enough for the
vultures who actually control the US government. Those places
are too poor to support the kind and scale of new business
they've in mind for the now moribund US mil-industrial
complex.

If only they'd be more patient! Having aided and abetted the
oligarch thieves in Russia, surely they will wind up with all the
misery and human suffering they could possibly desire.

Of course I am kidding. Or am I? Inquiry after the
puppet-mastery over at Moody's would be most telling, as is
today's inexplicable "Treasury Dept." letter sent to the WSJ.
