So strange that only the US has the expertise to do prospection and build oil rigs and no one else...

These countries are also mad at Britain and the Netherlands. In a few decades they’ll be mad at the Chinese too.

If these countries had been smarter they would have negotiated better deals and solicited competition from international companies to get the best terms. But that’s their own fault.
