Re: Government-to-government loans were bound to come with a number of rigid conditions.
Sorry, that is not serious.
The USA delivered Eastern Europe on a silver tray to Joe Stalin in 1945, AFTER the USA had funded almost 100% of the USSR logistical war effort from 1941-1945.
The late 80s was the West of Reagan, H.W Bush and Thatcher. The issue was as simple as threatening to refuse government-backed loans.
