TIME TO SUPPLEMENT NATO WITH... "EDG"

One of the things fueling Russia's rage is the fact that their former "satellites" have either joined or want to join their former nemesis NATO.

Georgia wants to join, and NATO wants Georgia to join. This in part is what's behind the Russian invasion of Georgia: the Putin's Russian imperialists needed to do this before Georgia joined NATO.

SO... LET'S DO AN END AROUND:

Instead of getting the former captive states of the USSR in eastern Europe to join NATO, let's start a new organization - WITHOUT OLD EUROPE: we can call it EDG, for Eastern-European Defense Group.

It would be the USA and Poland, the Baltic states, the former Czech republics, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria - and Armenia and Georgia.

Each nation could join by meeting bi-lateral arrangements with the USA.

Screw Old Europe and Russia's long-running pique with NATO.

EDG would be a perfect acronym: the member would all be on the USSR's - er um I mean Russia's EDGE.

All except the USA.

Well, it's an idea...

After all, NATO is getting less effective all the time, anyhow. They've been real pussies in Afghanistan.
