>>15256485Being a vassal under america gives me immense military protection and thus safety, security, and stability, and my country can afford to majorly slack on the military budget, allowing it to focus on other areas instead. Furthermore, I get access to the biggest consumer market in the world without much haste.
All this for the price of not putting the tarrifs on American exports too high and not directly opposing them in international affairs.
In my eyes, that's a pretty good deal, even compared to if my country were fully sovereign. Now what exactly does being a Russian vassal offer me?
