I ask this question: How many true allies do we really have? As long as "our" money is flowing to them in "aid" it seems that we have a friend and ally. Stop the money flow and see what happens. Right now China has the ability to "buy" allies. And as I see it, Russia is allied with China for the same reason. China on the other hand would most likely gobble up Russia if the two of them manage to have control of the rest of the world. Just some random thoughts of the future new world order.
Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
