metafilter_feed"The days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over." Since 1986 American presidents have published national security strategy statements. With the recently posted "National Security Strategy of the United States of America" the Trump administration now proclaims its views and plans for its foreign policy and the world.
There's a lot in the document, including a Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, continuing a cold war with China, "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations," and "want[ing] the restoration and reinvigoration of American spiritual and cultural health."
Commentary from War on the Rocks, The Economist ("bleak, incoherent"; ungated), Al Jazeera, New York Times, Le Monde ("targets Europe and spares adversaries"), Carl Bildt ("new security strategy places itself to the right of the extreme right in Europe"), former ambassador of France to the United States Gérard Araud ("reads like a far-right pamphlet"), Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), the Atlantic Council, DW News, the Washington Post editorial board ("less a strategy than a mood board"), and The Atlantic ("Like the babble of a thrashing sleeper who alternates between fantasy-laden dreams and cold-sweat nightmares").
