Sounds a lot like the way FDR allowed nationalist forces in Spanish Civil War, to purchase fuel from Standard oil, but refused shipment from smaller companies under neutrality act to the Loyalist forces.

It's all about the money.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
