Whenever a group of despots try to take over ONE of them always has to be the BOSS, that is where they ALWAYS fall out.
Who get's to be the Boss.
As an example take a spat between the US and Britain going on right now.
Over in Britain there is a company that makes TOP SECRET gear for our submarines but a US EQUITY GROUP want to buy it and own it, because we would
lose control over vital technology one of the UK's ministers is investigating the take over bid and in response the US has THREATENED to limit
intelligence cooperation with the UK.
So someone in the US is willing to abuse there power of state and jeopardize there friendship with the UK simply so some group of wealth investors
(probably including CHINESE and RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS through the back door I would not doubt) can own yet more UK inventions and make OUR security even
more porous.
What happens in the business and the linked political world is a perfect analogy because these are the same guy's at the top, a group of wealthy self
entitled and oddly not that intelligent but definitely evil men that want control, they work together so long as they all get a piece of the pie but
once one of them starts to get too much the split into factions and start to fight one another.
Sorry about the late edit but had to add this quip.
If some corporate lackey in the US wants to try to blackmail us with reducing intelligence cooperation lets start with GCHQ, it is officially UK
intelligence but everyone knows that it work's for the US intelligence agency's and is really there site as much as it is ours
What about Diego Garcia, let's ramp up the rent, currently the US pay's nothing for the use of those BRITISH Territory's.
How about that dirty and corrupt US hedge fund that want OUR secret technology being sold to the UK instead, at a reasonably discount of course since
we actually are the US most valuable intelligence partner and them limiting intelligence cooperation with us would be like putting a blindfold on
themselves and plugging there fingers in there own ears.
In fact it is so farcical if they were not serious I would laugh, but they are serious and it is funny but also tragic that they think they can bully
there best friend.
