NATO approach by Dawood

A slightly radical approach to NATO from my good friend in the Middle East, Dwaood Kahn aka Dave Kaelin.  Slightly bawdy language for us of the faint hearted, but saying things the non-politically correct way.

Why are our Armed Forces still in Europe?

We need strategic relocation.



Europe needs to pay for their own defense. See how they like being out from under our Defense umbrella. The cowards would have to foot the bill and they’d have to back their talk with more than “We disagree with America.”



I’d say out of Europe altogether unless they want to pay us for having our troops there. Europe should be paying the US for their defense. As should South Korea. We should not be paying them for the privilege of defending them. I’ve never understood the concept of renting bases from Germany or the RoK. We’re there or were there to keep their sorry asses from being invaded. They should have been paying us.



I’d say withdraw from NATO and form a separate treaty organization with Australia and Great Britain.



We should withdraw completely from Saudi Arabia unless they start paying us for their protection with billions of barrels of oil.



We should negotiate a base in Ethiopia. Hell, at least they’re Christian. We should negotiate a base with Israel and all of our aid should be dependent on their allowance of our use of their lands. Put a base right square in the Negev. Negotiate another base with Jordan and one with Egypt. We give aid to all of these countries. That gives us an eye for Europe. A quick hop across the Med and boom ——–> Italy and Greece. I’d even be for placing a base in the Christian areas of Lebanon to counter the Iranian Rev Guards, Quds Force and Hizbollah.



We should negotiate a base with India as well. In Hindu or Christian areas. Stay out of Muzzie areas of India.



Keep a small force in Afghanistan and a small force in Iraq for the foreseeable future but draw down the rest and let those countries build themselves.



That puts us strategically located across the globe and gives us some damn fine opportunities for sightseeing.



The best thing that we could do is to get out of Europe.



We should declare war on Pakistan and let India go in with us and kick their asses.



Solve Pakistan and Afghanistan is solved. It’s that freakin’ simple.



That will scare the shit out of Iran and China as well as put Russia on notice.



We screw around way too often. End this shit. NOW!

I realize that you sometimes oversimplify for the shock effect, Dawood; however, I wish our simpleton elitists in the State Department would just get things right for once.



Japan and China would be powerful allies except that I doubt that they trust Hilary and her crew. Those State Department “officials” are not voted in or out, but I want to see the head cut off of this USA governmental snake.



Current “ins” are trying to defame the Tea Party now, but I am for TP and major change!


Please come back home and write and influence these people Dave!  You could even become a politician in the finest sense. I wouldn’t mind being a rep; however I am 77 now. We need honest young blood to begin representing America’s loyal citizenry.
