all i am gathering is that it is - once again - the fault of capitalism
Yes, but more specifically the stage of capitalism known as imperialism. Imperialism is the economic inevitability of late-stage capitalist countries, which includes the export of capital and the division of the world along imperialist lines. The US Empire is the current world hegemon, but imperialism also has forces that work against its existence in the imperialized countries, which is accelerating the decline of the US.
