      Which is dumb as hell even if you only look at it for selfish reasons. Most of the high technology manufactuing and design for the soviet union was there, they had shipyards, port access, minerals, and the knowledge to use them IN ADDITION to not wanting anything to do with the soviets anymore. It should have been a no-brainer to foster that relationship and protect them with more than a paper agreement.
