Let’s go back to 1972 when Dr Hudson published Super Imperialism in which he said the US was paying for its wars and military occupations by printing dollars. Hudson was invited to speak at the State Department and the Pentagon. The diplomats liked him, understood him and voiced no objections to the policy of papering the world to pay for 800 bases in 80 countries. Later, he spoke to the Pentagon where it took them a while to understand what he was saying. Finally, a general said, “Wow. We are ripping people off.” https://vidrebel.wordpress.com/2020/07/08/breaking-news-us-empire-of-debt-is-dead
