The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.

Trump and his billionaire supporters seek first to divide this wealth among them.
See the hypocrisy in the position he asserts. Deny his narrative.
