re: #608 Desert Dog

Not with the USA. We change our minds too much. It’s usually built on one thing and one thing alone. MOOOLAH.

But, sometimes, they are built on shared goals.

Hehe I didn’t even think of mooolah I was thinking about force. Mooolah is a considerable force though. It seems that perhaps some of what McSpiff is saying backs up your statement. The real “loss” is the financial investment in those countries as opposed to any imagined (and completely unrealistic) safety factor from Russian missiles.
