Oh come on! Of what value are these countries to us? Let Europe fight for their oil. They are barbarians that we should either ignore or destroy. I’m sick of the money and lives were spending for savages.
I have always preferred the strategy you propose. You screw with us, we come in and break everything and leave. If you screw with us again, we come back and break more things. Repeat until objective is achieved.
I also hate bringing in barbarian refugees. That type of thing helped to destroy the Roman Empire.
