What if they use their oil to exert power on the West to meet their demands?
Their first demand might be getting US troops off their lands, the second might be stopping the West backing Israel. The third might be a price hike. The fourth might be to abandon the $ as the currency to buy oil.
All voted for by the Democratic choices of the people.
Or would it be best to ignore their democratic wishes and invade them?
Be careful for what you wish for, you might get more than you imagined. |
They will become democracies and elect Hamas.
Then we will protest the election and ask them to step down.
When they do not step down then we will cut off any help or negotiations and
Israel will blockade the people and try to starve the elected government out
of office.
OH WAIT!
That already happened.
Never mind.
