Real title: US interventionism, the Third World, and the USSR

Never stops being relevant, thought new users might enjoy it. Reposting it as the US is yet again considering sending its sons to kill and die to enrich a handful of rich families.

[T]he Third World is not poor. You don't go to poor countries to make money. There are very few poor countries in this world. Most countries are rich.

[...] Only the people are poor, but there's billions to be made there, to be carved out, to be taken. There's been billions for four hundred years. The capitalist European and North American powers have carved it out and taken it.

FUCK Cicero. And especially fuck Pompey "teh great". Just another Job Creator who wasted his life fucking over the proletariat and hoarding gold and enslaved people. Hmm I wonder why it is that subsequent Enlightenment thinkers idolized him? ๐Ÿค”
The molten gold thing is unfortunately likely just a legend but it's what he deserved.

It was Crassus (the third wheel of the first triumvirate) that may have been killed by molten gold. Cicero was killed on the orders of Mark Antony, 21 months after the assassination of Julius Caesar. His head and hands were nailed to the senate doors.

Yeah I was wondering if I had mixed up my crazy Roman oligarch deaths lol my bad.
Glad Cicero got was was coming.
Pompey is the one who got unceremoniously beheaded on the Nile cuz Ptolemy was told Caesar would be into it. He was not into it.
