Odd you should say that. That is one of the favorite trading tools of the US. (Who also happen to supply more arms than all countries of the world combined).
The deal goes - Supply us with a load of natural resources and we will give you bullets in return. Another favorite is... Gimme all your telecoms, water and power utilities and we will provide some aid. The utilities infrastructure is then passed over to western corps who increase prices and remove all profits to Wall Street. That's called "raping nicely".
