    Closing border points and instituting a blockade of food is fairly inexpensive, they could and probably would continue to do that without our bombs and shells.

        Yeah, you hear that conspiracy theory crap a lot. “Shadowy string pulling” instead of getting into the nitty gritty details of the specific treaties Congress made back in the day that aren’t so easy to wiggle out of.

        Money lets you put pressure, but it does not give you mind control powers, or any kind of medieval fealty.

        edit: Hell, medieval fealty wasn’t even that reliable, as any perusal through European history will give lots of examples of a King’s subjects fucking off.
