It's not just the lack of mentions of Russia that's striking, it's the fact Russia isn't ever mentioned as an adversary or threat. This is the first US National Security Strategy not to identify Russia as a threat since 2010, at the height of Obama's Reset policy.

The absence of Russia from the 2025 National Security Strategy looks really odd both because Russia is obviously one of the states having the most significant impact on global stability at the moment, and because the administration is so clearly interested in Russia.

OTD in 2001, as required by Budapest Memo on security assurances, Ukraine dismantled the last of its strategic weapons which were not handed to Russia to later be fired at them in the invasion we promised would never happen.
So we can be trusted with a peace treaty now.

So Trump 2.0 is officially determined to officially meddle in the domestic politics of Euro countries.
Not some new revelation, but the pompousness and self-righteousness of putting it in black and white in this official document is pathetic.

I genuinely do not understand why ‘RFK Jr wants to kill thousands of American kids and make millions sick’ isn’t in the news basically every day. Also, why are Republicans OK with killing kids? Is it because they’re so busy covering for pedophiles that they’ve given up on kids entirely?
Breaking news: Federal vaccine advisers selected by Health Secretary RFK Jr. are planning to vote on ending the practice of vaccinating all newborns for hepatitis B and to examine whether shots are behind the rise of allergies and autoimmune disorders.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.
