Look back to WW2 at the start, US supplied UK with the raw material and happily did so provided the gold was exchanged. The Japs sucked them into the war. One man's loss is another's gain. Same strategy different enemy. It's immaterial who you use to your advantage, in this case Nazis that replaced Isis in the recent past.
And here comes the propaganda, thought police and consensus manufacturers. Truth is what we say, you just absorbed, follow and never question because doubts are what your enemy fester. Soviet playbook?
