US foreign policy
It is well worth reiterating the comments from Al Haig, a former American Secretary of State, during the US acquisition of Diego Garcia in the Chagos Archipelago: “You just give me the word and I’ll turn that fucking little island into a parking lot.”
More recently, the late British playwright, Harold Pinter best described US foreign policy as ” Kiss my arse or I’ll kick your head in.”
