As discussed in the passage, a prince needs to treat nobles differently, based on how they swear fealty to them, if not fealty then there prosperity should be tied to the prince. In Machiavellie’s point of view to be independent from the prince means one of two things, from lack of courage, and therefore your forfieting your self to be used as a tool for the prince or, you have your own ends and ambitions in mind. In this case, the prince must be wary of them as potential enemies. The political leaders of today's world are…. less ambitious. Because of the massive backlash of two world wars, and the nuclear incentives that are in play, they are less open about using others for political gain, and are more heedful of making enemies as they could
