		teruakohatu on May 3, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Oil's Collapse Is a Geopolitical Reset in Disguise My country, New Zealand, is in the 5 eyes. Other than intelligence, we have very little military interaction with the USA. Apparently they won't even allow us to buy high tech gear because we ban US Navy nuke ships from visiting. We are a long way off from being a client state.

(I'm from Australia and would consider the "client state" assessment for us to be fair.)
