They've never had anything worth taking. No precious natural resources (no more than anywhere else, anyway), no real strategic value in occupying that land, difficult to get in and out of compared to other countries around it because of the mountains. If it had anything worth having, it would have had its shit ruined long ago.
ON TOPIC: I'm not against war.
It has a lot of money owned/stolen by the ultra rich. Plus it's a very nice vacaton spot. There's two good reasons there to invade.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
