el mat,

<OT> Game Theory! That's a good one. So, I'm glad to hear you won't squawk when the foreign invaders come to seize the resource. You know, shifting their position to gain advantage.

Rule of Law, baby. Once a country loses that, you stand to lose everything. Just ask the formerly Middle Class in Venezuela.

West Bank, Lebanon, Iraq, Libya, Iran, N. Korea Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan can fight back. They have no Ford, GM, Monsanto, IBM, Cisco...

The US has no friends, only economic interests.

Skilled diplomacy+send the right message. It suffice to show that there'll be consequences.

The US always know one thing: It is extremely easy to turn public opinion against them down here. So better keep the locals friendly. Else pockets will be hurt.
