...or passed it back to the government contingent upon Jew oil, gas, mineral/mining companies getting essentially exclusive contracts there.
The People pay for it, The People die, a handful of corrupt fucks profit, and the ancestors of The People pay for the blow-back of our bad foreign policy decisions.
@curomo Not so much in the modern era. I'd be somewhat on board with some of what's gone on in the past if once we'd gone in, the country now belonged to us. Not as a protectorate, not as a country whose citizens get free gibs, but we just owned it. If we did something like seizing and nationalizing the resources, and then used that to make money over time. It's not a really good way to make friends, but if you're going to do it do it that way rather than giving the resources to a Jewish politicians family, some big ticket donors, the majority of the fruit farms to another friend, and so on and so forth. The whole country suffers and maybe a dozen people benefit from it. Hence the reason historically if you became a high ranking official, or US president, you'd be looking at a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars come retirement.
