Strategic Comments Expanded Below: 01 NATO does not know 80% of what it needs to know; 02 NATO does not plan for 60% or more of what it needs to plan for (all ten high-level threats instead of just war and terrorism); 03 NATO needs to plan for de-Americanization of NATO and Europe; 04 NATO needs to help EU and EU police plan for the de-Nazification of Europe including the retirement of all GLADIO arms, cash, and personalities; 05 NATO could and should shift toward becoming a global peace-building enterprise orchestrating military contributions to Whole of Government and Multinational Multi-Agency programs that apply Open Source Everything Engineering (OSEE) to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Grand Strategy: No Candidate Is Serious…
To keep America safe we need to have a government (including military and police) that works as it should as well as a society that works for all; and to stop destabilizing the world while putting America – the 99% disenfranchised economically, politically, and socially – first.

Never mind Hillary Clinton’s stealing the primaries from Bernie Sanders as Stanford University has just documented; never mind Hillary Clinton’s murderous history, with five more dead in the last six weeks, all associated with legal accusations against her; never mind her blood clots and the rat poison (Coumadin) she is taking in what could be a fatal roll of the dice – what will kill Hillary Clinton, and her campaign, is the fact that “likely voters” are 30% of the eligible voting public, and Donald Trump could mobilize half of the other 70%. Below is the game card.
