We need to drop MNNA status for Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, and Kuwait. I don't like how their militaries are funded by the US. Bush handed out MNNA status like candy.
I think are most beneficial MNNA's are Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Morroco, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Philipines.
If it were up to me, I would drop MNNA status for those earlier four countries, and extend it to Ukraine. Russia said they don't want NATO influence, so there you go.
I agree with your choice Joephr, but you don't think Afghanistan and Pakistan are not relevant in current conflicts?
Afghanistan and Pakistan are relevant, but the conflicts there are much more different, since they aren't conflicts between states, but between the states and internal groups. A very strong alliance with those countries could be detrimental to some extent if you consider that there is a higher chance that the technologies and strategies shared with their governments can be seized by those groups easier than they could be by by an outside country, like North Korea.
This is a legitimate concern, but long term stability within the region is more important. Afghanistan can only afford to pay 1/3 of its expenses, and the bilateral security agreement is a good way to get us out of the current conflict. If that involves supplying them weapons, then I would say it outweighs the possibility of insurgents gaining weapons.
