>We are better off not taking their money than comprising our values
Nothing will happen. Just look at Kingdom of Saudi Barbaria and their use of petro dollars to lobby American politics and here are the results so far:
1. US-EU is willing to sanction Russia for the killing of an ex-Spy
2. US-EU is willing to sanction North Korea for the chemical assassination of Kim’s half brother
3. US-EU is willing to sanction Turkey for the jailing of a Christian Pastor.
4. US-EU is NOT willing to sanction Kingdom of Saudi Barbaria for the dismemberment and acid-dissolving of a US-based journalist.
The US has an obvious obvious obvious set of double standards for policy enforcement when it comes to our oh so sweet ally.
