Minto, USA is no-one's friend. The sooner you realize that the better. Infact in international politics there are no friends at all. There is convinience and self-interest.
It is one thing to have friendly relations, and completely different thing to trust them blindly. We paid the price for that with China in 1962, learn from mistakes. Learn to hae a critical, objective view on things. Not propaganda nonsense like 'shared democracies' etc.
A chines diplomat once famously said "You indians believe in your own propaganda, that is the problem".
