Very good point. England helped us with Iraq; now Germany and France
are showing more support. However, the reality is that Europe is
useless because they have cut their militaries beyond bone, and cannot
actually show up with force. Europe also is useless because the wars
have left them too tolerant and they make money from dictators and
dangerous tyrants. Canada is useless as an ally, unless Alberta &
the heartland seceeds. South America has a strong military tradition
but little respect for civilian authority. Poland and a few other
countries have some potential for alliances. China is an economic
enemy. Australia is an excellent ally. So we have England, Australia,
and Poland. Enough? Probably not. I wish I could see where we could
turn. Any ideas? <br>

The big stick helps us negotiate with the Syria type countries, and we
are better to never use it. Your point about bankrupcy is excellent;
there is a genuine danger of that. We are already far too dependent on
China to bankroll our deficits. China is over a barrel, they cannot
afford to cash in their bonds. Things are a mess.<br>
<br>
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?<br>

be possible for several nations to form temporary
