I can understand our boy in the White Hut not doing anything as it might get in the way of a round of golf or a Motown night or even another vacation. What I don’t understand is the hands off attitude of the actual world leaders that actually have a set.

See capitalism does work. Supply and demand, when supply is up the price goes down.

Did you ever play Risk?
As you win and capture territory you must leave behind occupation troops. Continuing a campaign can easily come to a halt when the troops run out. You soon don’t have enough to have superiority because so many are occupiers
