You don't think it's true? Have you in your lifetime ever experienced your government go against US interests, even when it's very clear that doing so is in the interest of the people they govern?
A clear overreach by the FBI, very clumsily handled. Also not all that interesting to the locals. Try issues where lives or large sums of money are involved.

- US policy is decidedly against it

- Lots of money in selling munitions, and definitely lives involved

- Norway organized it and locals campaigned for it

Fortunately it was stated by an ignorant nobody.
