Drop Russia from the G8 and then add India and Brazil to achieve G9. Then drop China from the “5” and strongly consider adding South Africa to round out a G10 + 1. Then leverage/challenge Mexico for desired improvements in economic performance and therefore illegal immigration for it to gain access to the G10 to yield a G11.
China and Russia covet this “G” status/access and therefore should pay a heavy entry fee if ever reconsidered in whatever capacity. It should certainly not just be given to them, just like NTR status earlier. In other words, it’s a tremendous leverage point on the two, and one which can disappear with China’s growing economic dominance (the same as it will be able to leverage military objectives/power with economic power) and why the time to act on Brazil and India is now.
Note: As point of reference, there are also a separate set of meetings known as the “G8 + 5”, created during the 2005 Gleneagles, Scotland summit, that is attended by finance and energy ministers from all eight member countries in addition to the 5 "Outreach Countries": China, Mexico, India, Brazil, and South Africa.
C) Rewrite the NATO Treaty to (Broadly) Defend the new East European NATO countries against the new Commulism Threat/Incursion/Subversion
With a resurgent Russia under former President, now Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, bent on restoring the glory days and geographic territorial aspects of the former Soviet Union, the U.S. and WEAST must “substantively get involved” to defend the newly arrived East European and Asian Nations (both the prior Soviet Union and also Warsaw Pact entities) to NATO. NATO defense MUST evolve to NOT just include a commitment enmasse to defend a partner country from military (“armed”) attack, but to modify its charter/treaty to be in sync with the times, to defend a partner nation from even more challenging economic and corruption/subversive attack from within and without, where those attacks are sponsored by Commulist regimes.
For example, the case now of Russia aggressively pressuring former Soviet Union entities such as the Baltic nations of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia vis-à-vis economic (energy and other investment needs) and corruption of government officials.
See coming article on NATO Treaty Article V rewrite.
Also prone to this “conquer from within” strategic infiltration and/or overt military cross border action/invasion are the struggling economies of former Asian entities of the Soviet Union including among others, Georgia, a close U.S. ally and NATO member wannabee (as is Ukraine), and the “Stans”, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. A NATO paranoid, cornered cat Russia, is a very dangerous animal indeed.
Bottom line, the next time (i.e. now) Russia tries to take these countries over, whether they were formerly part of the Soviet Union or members of the Warsaw Pact, will preferably be via "butter" (economically - money, investment, oil, gas, etc.). However the "guns" (i.e. tanks, etc.) option remains a definite last option, Russia will not be shy to use. Like any cornered cat, Russia is prone to strike out and physically attack, so a Cold War era Hungarian style military invasion of these former Soviet Union country assets is still a distinctly plausible and disconcerting option. And why that distinct possibility should not be discounted by the U.S./WEAST, and most definitely factored into their SWOOP/Fusion Warfare strategies.
These countries are indeed at huge and growing risk of going back (involuntarily again) to the “dark side” (communism). The U.S. and WEAST still myopically treat the NATO mandate only in the military (armed) attack context. They neither recognize nor understand the new (primary) threat of takeover will be based upon economic subversion, however military invasion remains a very viable final option. It’s important they wise up – in a hurry…and change NATO’s charter and strategy, or these newbie NATO members and new Asian countries will be lost – again, this time with no hope for recovery.
Analyst Note Regarding Kosovo et al:
Ironically, recent Balkan events in the scheme of the global environment, are not dissimilar to the chain reaction-like unleashing of war declarations around the globe, emanating from the July 1914 rift between Serbia and Austria Hungary. This new event may have likely triggered another onslaught of global reaction.
