It's pretty fucking rich to argue about "Spheres of Influence" as someone who grew up with that great globohomo ZOG globalism spreader known as the Internet. You can go listen to what ISIS or the Unabomber or Jim Jones or whoever the fuck said in their own words and make up your own mind.

There was a Ukrainian-born Soviet scholar (and 100% confirmed autist) who was instrumental in deciphering Mayan writing in the years after WWII, but he wasn't allowed to leave the country to go look at the ruins until 1990.
