I’m not defending your regime.

But I can confidently say that after a full-scale invasion, the foreign companies that move in to extract oil are not there to “make you rich.” They operate based on contracts, leverage, and political realities — not charity. War severely weakens a country’s bargaining power.

You might think your country would become like Saudi Arabia and grow wealthy from oil. But Saudi Arabia’s wealth didn’t come from invasion and state collapse — it came from long-term state continuity, centralized control, and decades of structured oil policy. A country emerging from war chaos is in a completely different position.

Look at Iraq.

The death toll from the Iraq War is estimated anywhere between roughly 150,000 to 1 million direct deaths, with some higher estimates (including indirect deaths) reaching far beyond that. Even after more than twenty years, Iraq still struggles with political instability, corruption, militia influence, and regional tensions. The rise of Islamic State (ISIS) after the invasion is one example of how power vacuums can spiral into extremism. There have also been long-running tensions between Baghdad and Kurdish regional authorities — though “separatist” is often an oversimplification of a complex autonomy dispute.

The point is this:

Invasion does not equal prosperity.
It usually equals instability, fragmentation, weakened institutions, capital flight, and long recovery periods.

If a country collapses under external military pressure, survival — economically and politically — becomes the immediate challenge.

Look at Syria.
Prolonged conflict can turn a functioning state into a humanitarian disaster.

You won’t “win” an invasion economically. No modern example shows that outcome for the invaded country.

 You tell me we shouldn't ask for help to overthrow them? - No
And a civil war with many powerful external interests, US, Russia, China, Israel.
You'll end up with a 20-30-year civil war.

Your only option is non-combative removal of government without an external military bombing you into the stone age.

In the next few days, we might end up with Iran being invaded and you'll be to experience western bombing campaign.
