Thank you for taking the time to present an analysis of the "manifesto" based on something other than a news article.  While I would not endorse or reject any of the specific conclusions or recommendations of the document without reading it in its entirety, your analysis reveals why the document may be taken seriously by NATO leaders and possibly by the European and US governments.  I have always believed it is a mistake not to look carefully and without prejudice at those things that can either be of benefit or do us harm.
