      We’d have been close allies and they would have gotten away with whatever they wanted, likely heavily influenced by Western interests in the region. At some point we would have meddled with their elections, as would have the soviet union, and they likely would have fallen in to a fascist dictatorship, either pro or anti US depending on which superpower won the game. And by today they’d be in a very similar stance, not super close to anyone but closer to the country who’s flag shares the most in common.
