Is this what you call "rebuffing"? You wrote only two sentences, here they are:

There's no guarantee that the revolutionaries will want transnational oil corporations setting up shop AGAIN in their country. They might actually even want to own their oil industry.

If you think that having the might of Europe's war-making capacity on their side will not render them beholden to European interests you are quite naive. Putting in a government that is friendly to Europe will ensure Europe's oil supply far into the future. With the Colonel in power there is no such assurance.

Quid pro quo.
