      It’s political influence and favors. “Let us use your roads and airspace to go wage war in this country, we’ll give you a good deal on your exports”. “Let us keep a base here and help us maintain it, we’ll be a military presence for you”. “Please stop buying gas from this psychopath and we will help you economically in Ukraine”.

      A lot of these deals are based on trust between leaders.
