RE: How two faced can an "ally" be ?
I guess we have to be thankfull for the little help these fair weather allies give us?- im pretty sure its costing us many millions/billions having them as our not very helpfull allies.
Intill recently we couldnt even fly into there airspace or our troops cross there borders -after there big quake they wanted all kinds of our help of course- choopers,fixed wingaircraft, mash hospitals, medical miltary teams, food, housing etc etc(and its ongoing).
Our enemys live with our halfassed allies- nothing new& suprizing there.
Now if we couldjust figure out what one is what.
Like in afganistan etc - im sure we can still be used to get rid of some of there own poltical opponets& rivals if where used& minipulated right.
They have a image to upkeep- just like the goverment in the tsunami areas had- they cant apear to helpfull close or friendly with the ifadels or there could be repercussions.
