My only counterpoint there is that their biggest method of action is funneling money and resources to far-right groups and providing them with diplomatic support from the US, whereas domestically the oligarchs they’re doing this on behalf of can act directly in that way. That is to say, they don’t need to interfere because the ruling class they serve already holds undisputed power and acts to preserve that in the same ways that the CIA and State Department would.

They’re not a hive mind. The war industry is a handful of capitalists who all have their own interests in fossil fuels and natural resources, and it’s spread out. Their goals and interests often contradict each other when it comes to coups and plans across the world.

They probably also fund liberal and leftwing groups to frame certain issues in specific ways.
