Of course. I said
Western nations. And I also alluded to developed Middle-Eastern and Communist nations. I am not just referring to the US here.

Loosing billions, then forgiving any debt that was to be paid off by the oil itself is not well descriptive of war for econimic exploitation. Its like buying an entire airline so you can use your frequent flyer miles to get to the Bahamas.
