well.......you know what ? it's important to have 'real' cooperation from other countries ..they help us with intelligence and all other kinds of stuff ...It's all for our well being, when you shove your finger in the face of the world .. they just are not going to help you very much ....
It's difficult under any circumstances .. because we all have our priorities .. however, it always helps to talk .. ref: reagan ... and he made good friends with the Russians ... and it all paid off .. eventually, with the help of a whole lot of other great people who were around in other countries at that time ...
together ! ... they were defeated . no cowboys around then.
