With friends like this ..........

            Have you realized the U.S. so called "friends" aren't really? Russia, China, Pakistan to name a few. Russia and China and the U.S all upping the ante, the military ante that is, increasing their military spending, presence and muscle flexing in the world.  The U.S. makes it seem normal not to trust your friends, but thats probably because they really arent our friends but merely bought and paid for "paper allies."   Or Pakistan, our "ally", a Dictatorship who assumed power in a coup from a Democratic government; WHAT!  yeah the  U.S. 
tells everyone its mission is  to bring down tyranny and promote Democracy, but ......    yeah do you befriend people whose ideology threatens 
yours?  I think not. You see the U.S. has only one real friend, England, a small inconsequential nation.
