*The problem is when the enemy of your enemy is also your enemy.* That is a problem ISIS is having with other violent ME factions. Long may their fight with each other endure. We are not engaged in battle with any of our allies as far as I know. That doesn't mean there is not a small gunfight here or there. Alliances for mutual defense are born out of common enemies. America (and previously all NATO countries) on the other hand, used to be, very good at setting aside differences with one country to form an alliance against another common threat/enemy. That was the basis of NATO's strength. In my opinion some of our mutual defense alliance treaties are near collapse. I don't see anything Hillary or John K has done to exude confidence in our allies willingness to participate in foreign internal defense (FID) struggles within other established NATO governments. Can anyone imagine the French, German, English, Italian, Greek, Belgian, Dutch, etc., governments offering troops to secure our borders against invasion?
