Because your the one that said "countries change, few do not". I thought you might set a a good example.
Your the 1,300,000,000 oceanic superpower. You enjoy nearly 7:1 superiority in numbers/resources. Come and grab it, if you can. Clock is ticking since nearly 70 years.
When a person is desperate, more help always wanted but what ever you get still is to be thanked. Fact is Turks, Iranians did give help - we could have done with even more but that does not detract that help they did. Fuel, jets, fighters and even nurses were sent. Of course like I said the weapons we used were given by America.
Times change. We have moved on. Now you can have our 'leavings'. You can suck the worn out US teat. We moved on to something fresh.
