I Wonder...

I believe what he said the other day during the "John and John Show" was the following:
  • As you know, as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee and also a leader in fighting bioterrorism and understanding the threats we face, he shares my unshakable commitment to having a military that is second to nobody in the world but also to restoring old and rebuilding new alliances that make America stronger.

Which says Kerry believes two things:

1) Our military can be downsized so long as it isn't smaller than the standing army of that other superpower, Belgium.

2) France and Germany should have a veto over our foreign interests.

Your article shows he wants to punt the security aspect to Nato (to which France already said no) - and this flies in the face of his "alliances first" stand.
(1) and (2) don't follow from what he said, but I can see why you'd rather attack Kerry for these imaginary positions of yours than for what he's actually saying.
