In what will further shock you, Kuwait does not actually share a border with the US! I know, I was surprised too, but hey, you learn something new every day, don't you?
And you know what the kicker is? When Kuwait was invaded, the world rushed to its aid.
Are you going to compare Alberta's situation to Europe in the middle ages next?

Wow! Your knowledge of the middle east, after looking at a map is remarkable! Next you're going to be telling me that Iraq has oil too! Geepers!
Kuwait is a perfect example for every fact I provided. Someone wanted their wealth, and they had a military in place. Albeit it wasn't a strong military, but they had one and it took the United Nations (primarily America) to push them out.
Now if you bother to acknowledge context in conversations, you'll see that Kuwait has a STANDING MILITARY even after Iraqi aggression was quelled. Kuwait has the full military support of the U.S., the U.N., and likely Saudi Arabia too. And guess what, spanky? THEY STILL HAVE A MILITARY!
Your argument is being driven further into the pits.
