It's revealing how many times they admit their inability to control everything.
And their total blindness to the fact that most of these conflicts are proxy wars for powerful nation-states is obvious to anyone paying attention.
The truly beautiful thing is how well people are cooperating in such dense areas. For example, the favellas in Rio are much better off when the corrupt police there aren't selling arms to the residents. The large neighborhoods in Mexico City don't require American intervention to survive, just access to fields to grow food in.
The power vacuums where warlords threaten to organize everyday people against Western intervention are where we have destroyed the infrastructure (Iraq), fought decades-long proxy wars (Afghanistan), propped up cruel dictators (Libya), or drained nations of their resources (most of Africa).
This video is essentially pumping up the young, underprivileged American "volunteers" (those with no options for success in the industrialized world) to protect the investments of world bankers.
