Re: Meanwhile the NSA... Can you believe it is not so?
"such a situation would be proof positive that there is no effective alliance of/for equals and it's a dog eats dog world environment with everyone into best servering themselves secret goodies and to hell with everyone and everything else."
I doubt any alliance in history has included sharing all defensive and/or offensive technology. More sharing might happen in an actual shooting war, but even then I doubt it's all shared. Todays ally might be tomorrows enemy. We Brits were shipping millions of tons of supplies and munition to the USSR in the 1940's, including 1000's of tanks. A few short years later, our frenemy was our enemy.
