Did the U.S. get away with it? Sort of, maybe? But we _are_ commenting on a wired article about it.

Getting away it and "having a wired article about doing it" are totally compatible things.

The kind of not getting away with it I mean involves the impact of the world's #1 military and economy fucking your country over in retribution.

It's not like the US would even feel a pinch if some middle eastern country embargoes its products. Now reverse that, or add even more extreme measures to it (doing to Iraq level measures) and you get the point.
