“Allies are not just people who happen to be where you are or who happen to be doing the same things you do. You choose allies deliberately for a reason. The kind of allies you choose says something about you.”
How true, Roger and when you look at the list of the allies of the US, I think you can rest your case. They are too numerous to mention here but let’s pick some out at the top of our head. ALL the blood-thisty, dictatorial regimes in Central and Latin America, provided they were to the extreme right of the political spectrum. The same aplies to the Philippines, South Korea,Franco of Spain and Salazar of Portugal, just to name a few. Gee I’m glad you brought up the subject!
