Bung Oka, Yg bikin aku curious bukan masalah utang..Tapi kalau lihat memo tsb..yg muncul ialah permainan psikologis untuk menekan US supaya tidak intervensi.
"We know you and Russia are the only nations in position to supply such a number quickly and we want American equipment. ...In making this request we are not (rpt not) asking your opinion" Rasanya bargaining tsb sudah agak sulit dilakukan oleh Indonesia dijaman sekarang. BTW, sebenarnya memo tsb aku dapat dari tulisan yg dikirim oleh penulisnya (kini assisten professor di Colorado), Suzanne Moon, tentang teknologi transfer yg terjadi di era pasca kemerdekaan. Jdlnya provoking, "Takeoff or Self-Sufficiency? Ideologies of Development in Indonesia, 1957-1961". Jika baca artikel tsb kelihatan bhw isu mandiri lebih merupakan isu politis daripada isu ekonomi.
