Trumpified Security
Friday, 19 December, 2025

I promise this will be the last commentary on Trump's National Security Strategy. Much of the controversy about NSS 2025 has been about the Trump administration's attitude toward Europe accusing the countries of Europe of losing their traditional cultures amid waves of mass migration. In addition, their lagging economies and heavy expenditures on social welfare have caused them to underfund their own defenses and made them reliant on America to come to their rescue if needed. NSS 2025 basically says, Europe, you are now on your own. In this commentary we look to Trump's solution for Europe and how it parallels what he is doing here in America.
