Anyone who buys into that talk about allies and friendship is too politically naive - or dare I say it, fucking stupid - to be in government. A country may be 'friendly', but it is not your friend, you are always rivals first and foremost. For example, Germany's export success harms the Spainish economy and is a rival to the US export (and domestic) businesses.
