Give Wafa a break. He’s got a bandage over his head for golly sakes. Head injuries can be traumatic. Take a good look hair sniffer JB.
Folks with head trauma make up stuff.
Cornpop knows this and so should you.
Tisk tisk.
Maybe that bandage is just a little too tight.
Karim Wafa Al-Hussain is Doctor Karim Wafa Al-Hussain, thank you very much. He earned his degree at the same institution Jill did.

The economic benefit to a foreign power from political control of mineral producing zones is diddly / squat and likely net negative given the frictional costs of establishing it. It’s only important in war situations where physical access to these commodities might be at issue. We haven’t been in such a war since 1945 and the Axis powers were rather more vulnerable on this front than we were. Ditto the Central powers during WWi. The fall back position of these types is that particular companies have bought control of particular politicians. (Michael Moore fancied we conquered Afghanistan because Union Oil told George Bush to make it happen).
