I suspect one of his trains of thought goes like this: bomb the country, eradicate the leaders, invade, endorse new leader and offer to go away - but only once a deal has been signed for discount oil with an agents fee routed to a bank account somewhere on the QT. It’s just a mob shakedown at country level. And not very subtle. Even for an American.
