BTW, one of the chief strategic factors in international relations, military science, and foreign policy is securing real resources for oneself and and one's allies and denying them to the enemy. Indeed, this is a casus belli, whereas "spreading freedom and democracy" is not, but rather is an excuse to cover the actual strategic factors involved. According to the US DOD at the time, this was the concrete reason behind the Western incursion in "Indochina." first the French and then the US, both experiencing the same humiliating defeat. Now the contest there, chiefly in Cambodia and Laos, has shifted to the US and China instead of the US and Russia.

Let me state the obvious:
Whoever controls the coffee plantations controls the world. (Sorry, tea doesn't cut it. Not even close. Perfumed water -- yeah, that's what it is)
He obviously doesn't drink coffee -- or if he does, probably that god-awful instant stuff, or worse, Nespresso. Dumbest product at Costco? The Nespresso Vertusso.
