"The Trump administration recently published the US National Security Strategy. It’s an extremely important document. It’s an official outline of US priorities in the world, normally published only once every Presidental term. But this time, it’s published at a time of high geopolitical tensions, making it perhaps the most important National Security Strategy this century.
What struck me as most notable with the report is its profound irony. It denounces three decades of American attempts at global domination while articulating a vision of American supremacy more explicit, unapologetic, and comprehensive than perhaps any strategy document since the early Cold War. The strategy condemns the hubris of post-1991 efforts at “permanent American domination of the entire world,” yet it unabashedly demands exclusive preeminence in Latin America, military supremacy throughout the Indo-Pacific, control over critical supply chains, and the right to dictate terms to allies on defence spending and trade policy.
This is not a strategy of restraint or humility. It is suffused with American exceptionalism, asserting that the United States must remain “the world’s strongest, richest, most powerful, and most successful country for decades to come.”"
