And all of the mideast oil for that matter. It always struck me as strange that they let the people have it and didn't invade, genocidize the people, and take the land and everything in it like white colonialismists are wont to do.

It's surprisingly kind of them to have let them alone for the most part.

They may be evil, but do you really want to risk another Middle Eastern power vacuum like when Saddam was overthrown? Sure, he was evil too, but the repercussions of ousting him were even worse, leading to years of bloody power struggle and eventually to the rise of ISIS

we're allies and working with the saudis. That's why 9/11 happened. So we could take the oil from iraq. Hell, the WTCs were the highest structures in the world before 9-11-2001. The highest now? The Burj Dubai, in Saudi Arabia

Because Britain has been known to help topple regimes for oil such as in Iran way back when.

the American way is to shake with one hand and flip you off with the other

the difference is that we're at least arrogantly open about it, while certain other leading countries will flat out deny their dishonesty to the grave lol

This, they should have just rolled in when they were weak, after all, America is all about steam rolling socities for personal gain, see Hawaii, annexed even through it was illegal as shit so the rich could have a playground and even today it's culture of hedonism is making a joke out of the culture there.
