In Vietnam&Afghanistan satchels of cash made their way on foot through dense jungles and across impassable mountain ranges to solidify agreements. Here is the other side of coin ops and across-domains ops in a sometimes tense hearing before the House Financial Services Committee. U.S. Aid is the bulk of International Aid Relief out of the United Nations mitigating the same. Much of this has been discussed in this podcast and is the basis for a great amount of fictional work based on fact in literature&film. High Intrigue to be found when one matches the money to the maneuvering. Not unexciting stuff - some of the representatives' political views are controversial but you can watch smokey back rooms, national&international, in action in these hearings. Covered: International Financial Institutions, World Bank, International Monetary Fund IMF, Supporting Global Economy, Proxy Wars, Chinese Hang Sang, Sanctions, EU Regulations on International Business&U.S. Corporations, Global Reserve Currency and more.
