Isn't that how sovereign nations make their money and form alliances? :shrug:

3. If you give a man a fish, he'll eat today
If you give him an Uzi, he'll hold up convenience stores.

Isn't that how it goes? :P

5. That depends - do we have oil?
I'd say we have three options:
  1. sell oil and buy protection,
  2. sell arms and buy friendship, or
  3. buy arms and destroy anyone who looks at us cross-eyed.
I vote for #3, myself...
