The recent U.S. National Security Strategy 2025 of the United States marks a pragmatic shift toward prioritizing American power and prosperity.
In reviewing it, numerous aspects were very encouraging and well thought out by the various agencies and departments that collaborated to create this document:
1) Peace through strength works
2) Strong economic security is crucial
3) Burden sharing with allies is good
4) Mass migration is over
5) Reviving the defense industrial base is crucial
6) We must re-assert the Monroe Doctrine
7) We must improve relations with India
8) The Indo-Pacific competition is good
9) We must rebalance trade deficits
However, there were numerous significant omissions:
1) Realignment for “peace” is fine, but only after our enemies lose.
2) Reestablishing strategic parity with Russia is fine, but only after Russia is sufficiently punished for its war on Ukraine.
3) There was no mention of the urgent need to close European borders, deport illegal Muslim migrants and Islamists, and curtail radical Muslim activities.
4) While the Middle East is no longer seen as a source of imminent catastrophe due to oil, there was no reference to the existential risk of Islam taking over Western Civilization.
5) Nothing was said about imposing accountability on Middle Eastern countries.
6) Nothing was said about confronting Qatar and Turkey for their support for the Muslim Brotherhood, their proxies, and other Muslim terror organizations.
7) There was no mention of Islamist terrorist activity in Africa. The US seems to avoid any long-term American involvement or commitment, even though Christians are being massacred throughout Africa, most notably in Nigeria.
8) There was no discussion of how to prevent/stop boycotts of Israel.
9) There was no discussion on fighting rampant antisemitism.
10) There was no discussion of anti-Christian behavior throughout Muslim majority countries and how to protect the Christians affected.
Completing the National Security picture is challenging, but we need:
1) A strategy to contain Russia.
2) A strategy to contain China.
3) A strategy to contain Qatar’s and Turkey’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood, their proxies, and other radical Muslim groups.
4) A strategy to contain the globalist UN and the World Economic Forum.
5) A strategy to join with Israel in its cultural war against our mutual enemies.
6) A strategy to protect European countries from Islamist takeovers.
7) A strategy against anti-Jewish racism/antisemitism at home and abroad.
8) A strategy to protect Christian minority countries/populations.
9) A strategy to protect Muslim populations from Islamist dictatorships.
All of our challenges are interrelated and must be addressed simultaneously. Such a strategy requires extra resources and inter-departmental coordination. The New Year presents an excellent opportunity for us to address our National Security challenges comprehensively.
