Presidents change, ambitions change. Take the way they treated one of their NATO partners (my country) for example: first they fragged the shit out of us (already an ally) during WWII, then they supported the Indonesian rebels and quickly seized their resources as soon as they had forced us into recognising their independence, not happy with that they forced us to send troops to Korea at the threat of withholding Marshall Aid, then they fucked us over in 1962 with New Guinea (now the Indonesians are pretty much massacring the native population) and then they tried to get Dutch troops to go to Vietnam as well (demanding that we would send some of our Marine Corps - needless to say - we told them to go fuck themselves HARD), thirty years into the future: in Bosnia they withheld active fire support when Dutch troops were bottled up in Srebrenica until the enclave fell and then quietly shifted the blame to us. Then came 9-11 and the Iraq War and since we host the ICC they passed a law stating that if a single American would ever be arrested and brought before the ICC they would actually attack us.
Mind you: we are a NATO partner but with a partner like America, you sure as fuck don't need enemies. So let's not think that America's guarantees have any value. In fact: I'd prefer to invest in propping up the Zim dollar. I'd probably get higher returns.
