There are no friends between countries. Only allies and benefits. You don't shoot your legs for an ally. Help is another thing. We were supposed to be allies, but the USA überall is their new motto.

Fucking up Libya, destroying Yugoslavia, maintaining a chaos in Palestine - Israel, help invade Iraq with lies, cut ties with Russia and let Ukraine to get invaded are not things you do even for friends.
