the wealthy west never does anything to retaliate on these things. Even the third world is less cowed than us.
I remember an example from the 80's where there was some sort of dustup between Moscow and Nigeria and the power got shut off to the Nigerian embassy in Moscow.
Well it didn't take very long before the electricity went off in the Russian embassy and Russian diplomatic quarters in Lagos.
And soon after that, the power was back on in the Nigerian embassy in Moscow.
Can't remember what book it was in but some of the western diplomats and intelligence services, USA, UK ... were watching this and were envious that Nigeria would take steps that they could never persuade their governments to do.
(although given the intermittent electricity in Lagos at the time it would always be credible to apologize and say that "the power failed, sorry"
