So, according to this guy, the USA should fight the good fight - - all alone?  Against 5 powerful nations? 

The writer seems to forget there are 160 other nations who could fight right alongside the USA and be our helpmates.  But the USA is supposed to fight these countries all alone??  WHY should or would we do that?  There are 160 other countries out there who could certainly be helping us.

The writer is short-sighted I think.
