Nato, Sweden, Vilnius, Ukraine etc.

Brian, correct me if I'm wrong, but Article 10 is an internal NATO issue, right? So they could reform it.

Never going to happen

It has already happened: "THE CHINA- RUSSIA ‘NO LIMITS’ PARTNERSHIP IS STILL GOING STRONG" https://www.cna.org/our-media/indepth/20...ing-strong The sooner Europe wakes up to this new reality, the better.

You understand that an 'internal NATO issue' IS international law, right? Article 10 is part of the treaty that established NATO. Amending that treaty requires a unanimous vote of all member nations. You really think you're going to get all 32 NATO countries to vote 'Yes' on allowing Madagascar into an alliance whose purpose is to defend the North Atlantic?

I certainly don't disagree with you that the world needs better security, I just think trying to get there under the auspices of NATO is a pretty duff idea.
