      Fuck em, they’d use up the limited amount of oil you currently have because of their fucking braindead decisions somehow affecting the entire fucking planet yet again

      Context:

      The U.S. asked Sri Lanka on Feb 26 if they could use their airport on Mar 4-8 for two U.S. Military aircraft transiting through the region. Once the conflict started on Feb 28, Sri Lanka denied this request to maintain neutrality.

      Ironically, Iran also requested on Feb 26 if three of their warships could visit Sri Lanka between Mar 9-13 on a goodwill visit, however this request was also denied. One of the ships was later sunk by a U.S. submarine, and the other two later negotiated a surrender to Sri Lankan authorities.

      He should’ve asked what Trump can do for Sri Lanka as part of a deal, it’s what Trump would’ve done.

      In reality, I respect the full on refusal a hell of a lot more.

      I am curious, what would sri lanka do if US just decided to land their planes irrespective of sri lanka’s approval ?

      Fun fact: Sri Lanka is probably the biggest net military winner of the current war – they won a warship when the Iranian navy surrendered it
