Those frayed elbow holes of old NATO jerseys are hard to hide. Is it time to think outside the eurobox? What happened in the most recent air war between India-Pakistan?
Rafales vs JT-15. Or PL-15 air to air? Why would Turkey a NATO member defy US and buy the Russian S4?
As I alluded to before, best defence is not to make enemies and to stop poking "perceived" ones. In the desire to maintain w/w hegemony, poke and provoke has been an accepted policy.

Over the past century military budgets have become endless pits; only now they are being challenged by interest payments on the borrowed bucks. The existing stockpile of WMD is more
than enough to blow up the planet many times over; if you can put your head around that vulgar absurdity. So what's the point of more of the same? Saftey?
Meanwhile what should be our primary defense concern, protecting the fragile eco-envelope of planet earth, is going to hell in a handbasket.
Carney at least has taken the first timid step by inviting countries beyond the pale of the western club of G7; for which he is being shellacked. However, pusillanimous Anita could only

"We support Israel".
