Zuesse puts together the mountain of evidence, much of it captured on videos, to show the history of US preparations to overthrow the legitimate government of the Ukraine on the border of Russia. Then he goes even further by presenting evidence of US grand designs for world domination following WWII when Operation Gladio program was established to counter any left-wing political party aspirations in Western Europe which Zuesse sees as the origins of the old Cold War. The violent overthrow of Ukraine by US operatives is the start of the "New Cold War" with Russia.
Unfortunately, he muddles his analysis by using a term from another social system and from another era: "aristocracies". This diverts attention away from the accurate designation of the current social system known as capitalism and avoids targeting capitalists as constituting the new ruling class who vie with other capitalists for world domination. Thus, history is reduced to ghoulish actors engaging in satanic acts because...well, that's what "evil-doers" do. A constructive alternative would be to analyze such events within the framework of capitalist dynamics by examining what it is about capitalism that produces such devious aggressions and wars against independent countries.
