#5  Find an accommodation with Russia re. Ukraine and Syria.

Find an accommodation with Russia re. China - who's a much bigger (or more immediate, at least) threat to Russia than it's to USA.

#4  Dissolve NATO and replace it with binary alliances negotiated on terms that make sense with: UK, Poland, Romania, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Denmark, maybe Holland. Slash our NATO spend in half. Find an accommodation with Russia re. Ukraine and Syria. De-escalate tensions in the Baltic region.

And start focusing 80% or more of our bandwidth not he real threat to this country and to freedom in the world, the ChiCom menace.

#3  Well since Mutti Merkel has cozied up to Huawei, breakup of NATO may be foregone conclusion. At least the German component, tho, since EU and NATO are pretty contiguous and Germany more or less owns the EU.......

#1  The whole point of Turkey being in NATO was to flank the Soviet Union. We could present them with two avenues of attack, using Turkey to threaten the Caucasus.

With the Soviet Union gone for three decades already, we don't need this any more. Nor do we need NATO. Just disband it already, it's long outlived its usefulness.
