Often people ask me how America and NATO decide which nations should be saved through military intervention and which ones should be left in the hands of God.
In order for NATO and the U.S. to decide to intervene to protect you, the affected people must fulfill four conditions:
1. The regime that is killing and threatening you must be a weak enough military power that it does not pose a serious threat to NATO forces.
2. The regime that is killing you must not be a close ally of the United States or NATO in the war against terror or any other war.
3. The regime intimidating you must not be a close ally of any other major powers, especially not China.
4. (This is purely a bonus.) Your country is the owner of oil reserves or other rich natural resources.
If these requirements are met, chances are you will eventually be saved; however, recovery is often slow and may seem vague and tentative.
First of all, if you are a nation threatened by its own government, you must be aware that U.S. or NATO military intervention takes time to happen. You must bear in mind that your life is not worth a NATO soldier losing his or hers. For this reason, intervention translates into bombing from altitudes of 20,000 and 30,000 feet. Secondly, when bombing goes into effect, you and your fellow countrymen will be exposed to much greater risks. Military forces loyal to the regime are likely to take advantage of the population in response to the NATO bombing and launch offensive military operations. Generally speaking, the countering side will seek to protect the regime and their wish for revenge will be the driving force in outlasting the bombardment.
After NATO bombing begins, and Brussels and Washington vocalize dissatisfaction that bombing from 20,000 feet is not producing the desired results, NATO architects will expand the list of desired targets. This will result in an increased number of civilian casualties among your fellow countrymen who support the current regime, meaning that support for the regime will intensify in proportion to the degree of NATO expansion. Generally, this means that the other party will strongly defend the regime and their desire for revenge will give them the motivation to persevere.
When the prolonged NATO bombings still bring no regime change, they will once again expand their approved targets and target civilian infrastructure in hopes that destroying infrastructure will not only punish those who still support the regime but that the elevated bombings will increase political pressure on the regime. Eventually that pressure will reach its critical point and force the regime to surrender. Keep in mind that when civilian infrastructure is destroyed, if the government the West desires comes into power, they will be taking over a now crippled and even poorer nation.
When and if NATO is victorious and a new government comes into power, keep in mind that NATO member nations expect eternal gratitude and the nation is to accept a servile attitude to the demands of NATO members. It is to be expected that large NATO firms will take the lead in rebuilding all that NATO destroyed. Of course, the new government will quickly demonstrate that it is not capable of dealing with the problems of daily life in a post conflict nation where citizens who survived a war no longer have the patience to anticipate a better life.
If you, as a vulnerable nation, fulfill these requirements, then you can hope for “rescue” from NATO. Patience, however, is a virtue. If you do not meet the criteria, like the citizens of Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Saudi Arabia and many other similar nations: May God help you.
