: Having said all this then the article DOES MAKE SENSE, i.e. once the US has established this control over that control (although indirect), there in no longer a need to "attack" since they basically already control it!
I'm confused...
No Country with a McDonalds has ever attacked/gone to war with another country that has McDonalds?
or
No country with McDonalds has refrained from attacking another country that doesn't have McDonalds
or
All countries that have McDonalds have at one time or another attacked a country that doesn't have a McDonalds?
None.
