I have to ask, though -- do they have oil?
Open Anwr!! and invest more in cold nuclear fusion research!! Only then can we be certain that our choice to interfere, and on whose side, will not be biased.
No oil that I know of, but they do have "sweet" coal. In fact they have a world monopoly on it since x42 signed an EO making it impossible for us to get at our reserves in Utah.
