The @FDD is a serious organisation but this is not a serious idea. The threats we face in the Indo-Pacific makes Five Eyes & joint facilities which underpin it - like Pine Gap - more important than ever. Following this advice would be a major act of self harm by the U.S.
Mark Dubowitz@mdubowitz
Five Eyes was built for another era. We get diminishing value from four partners, and ties with Britain are at a low point. Time to rethink the alliance around those actually delivering intelligence value — Israel, Poland, Ukraine, UAE, Japan, ROK and other serious partners.
