Re: Cronyism
Problem is, EVERYONE is full of cronies. That's how cronies work to apply influence for their puppeteers. There's no denying it; it's how the world works. If you don't have the resources to go it alone AND defend it from hostile takeover, you'll have no choice but to bend the knee (or bend over). It's simply a matter of to whom you do it. Saying you'll avoid the US doesn't mean much if ALL roads lead either to hell or to isolation (which is simply the handbasket route).
