between the US and its current allies. Nobody who can't afford to put up
their own orbiting weapons platform is going to be happy about the US doing
so.
Gee guys, I don't see any wedge; I just see the allies doing what they
so often do. They line up against American policy so that they don't have to
pay the costs of supporting it. Then as sopn as the policy is proven or the
costs paid -- preferaly both -- they line up to get under its protection.
At that price why wouldn't they oppose every American policy that
comes down the pike?
