The manufacturing of consent starts with those editorials and opinion pieces, "just sharing ideas"
They're taking their sweet ass time to kick off the Scramble for Africa 2 The USA-China boogaloo, since I've read this shit since early 2000s (and that's only as far as I can remember) and even this article is from 2014. But maybe we'll get the at some point.
I think since this dude has had these ideas for a while (even before the 2014 book (that I think this opinion piece was promoting) I think) he might genuinely believe this stuff.
