It ends up great that their oil that is being threatened feeds the Chinese. So it seems to me that hurting an enemy that in turn hurts another enemy and requires them to help us is a great idea. If we have the option to reduce risk and costs why would it be bad to go after it? So far the only arguments made about it are wrapped into ego and pride. Which is ironic cause for once we have the person who is known for their massive ego being the one willing to ask/accept help and now people are upset he’s not letting his pride dictate more action?
Well, we are about to start contract negotiations. What happens when one side puts themselves in a position to need something from the other?

Leverage and concessions come to mind.
