Better how?
None of those places are our friend, and we may very well need to bomb the crpp out of any one of them.
Post 2 is right. If Russia is selling the A-400 missile system to just about every country but our US, we better have means to get our military aircraft and our attack missiles past the A-400 as I think we are going to need this ability pretty quick.
We have bases in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey...
Nuke Turkey.
Option 2: Bomb Saudi Arabia back to the stone age while dodging the S-400 to please the Qatari Muslims.
Or option 3: Build grandstands and charge admission to watch the Muslims slaughter one another and spend the money on US Veterans Services in the United States.
All one has to do now is to stir them up against each other. The plan is sound.
