What I got out of the article was that we need to re-evaluate who our "allies" really are.
France, Germany and Russia certainly aren't our "allies" , they are friendly, but hardly "allies". I think he was right when he said:
America's alliances need to be reconsidered. This implies a formulation of what an ally is; it also implies that a hard-nosed criterion be applied to all allies, no matter where the findings might lead.
Nothing wrong with taking stock in who your friends are.
