  • Nah, China had a civil war that spanned WW2, it was only after that that Asia became a manufacturing base for western companies.

    Before then western countires did their own things in factories.

    Think of all the toys that contain plastic, from lego (1949), to barbie (1959), to most electronics, they didn’t exist as we know them today prior to WW2.

    Before then toys were mostly made of wood and metals like tin, and were made more locally and nationally. People had jobs in factories over here, rather than over there.

    This was all planned long ago, back in the 2000s, James Woolsey (ex head of the CIA), Jacob Rothschild, Dick Cheney, and Rupert Murdoch all invested large sums of money onto Genoe Energy, the oil exploration company charged with surveying and drilling the contested Golan Heights area which is just outside of Israel’s border.

    …the problem? It’s in Syria. So now it will become Israel’s as they bomb the area in preparation for settlement (straight up Colonialism, it never ended just become one of the many under handed behaviors enabled under Capitalism).

    So this is the planning, the investments from the wealthy ruling class members of multiple countries, the political lobbying, and the geopolitical military industrial complex that serves that ruling class, all coming together.

    So anyways, that’s what I interpret this image to be about. Genie Energy has a Wikipedia page that can confirm the above details if anyone is interested.

    P.S I suspect Turkey is represented for contributing fighters and doing administration, or being part of the carve up. But perhaps someone more familiar with that can add more about their involvement. They stood to benefit no matter who “won”.
