Presumably the same ones that allowed the US to withdraw from Afghanistan looting the Afghan central bank. A blind eye here, a nudge to the negotiating table there and bingo. America’s customers in Europe aren’t freezing to death and infrastructure systems hosting refugees can have that pressure released. Prepare for tears of joy going viral as families are reunited, whatever concessions are made deemed a reasonable compromise (whether they are or not) and Halliburton to trouser billions in rebuilding contracts.
Maybe I’m too cynical though.
