"The strategy signals a profound departure from decades of bipartisan assumptions about America’s place in the world. Instead of reaffirming the U.S. as the steward of a rules-based international order, it presents a distinctly different vision centered on civilizational fear, transactional partnerships, and a forceful reassertion of hemispheric dominance."

Urgent: Trump National Security Strategy Embraces Authoritarian States and Abandons Democracy in Significant Shift

I spent the past several hours reviewing Trump's national security strategy. It is a stunning departure of American norms and ideals.

The Parnas Perspective

I recommend this newsletter and the consultants for structural change behind it: Jamie Schearer-Udeh and Timo-Lia Galbenis-Kiesel.

From the November edition:
The #Conflict that exposed the System

The email was carefully worded, professionally neutral. A staff member requesting mediation because "communication had broken down" with their supervisor. But when we spoke to each person separately, different stories emerged.

The staff member, a Black woman: "I raised concerns about our outreach excluding immigrant communities. I was told I'm not a 'culture fit.'"

The supervisor, white: "She's always finding problems. We can't move forward if everyone's constantly critical."

This wasn't a communication breakdown. This was power, plain as day. [...]

"You could drop Stephen Miller into the Congress of the 1920s and he would fit right in. When Trump is gone, he will not be taking every anti-immigrant narrative with him. Some of them have been here for a very long time."

"On immigration, what may appear as distraction or new ideas are often the same old idea. Certainly the racist rhetoric coming from Noem and others in the administration resembles that of white nationalists. But it also highlights something else we have yet to fully reckon with: the mainstream racist ideas that fueled the anti-immigrant laws of the last century."

The Radical Honesty of Trump’s Racist New Immigration Policy

Kristi Noem is being pretty direct in her regurgitation of white nationalist talking points.

The New Republic

"It goes on to suggest the revival of Europe’s 'former greatness' means supporting nationalism and far-right 'patriotic' European parties, which would include, for example, Alternative for Germany (AfD), an extremist neo-Nazi party."

Steven Beschloss sums up "the overarching worldview" of the Trump administration's National Security Strategy document:

"The rhetoric mirrors historical Nazi eugenics science, including discussions of registries for people with disabilities, coupled with an obsession among figures like Elon Musk with the declining white birth rate—a favorite talking point of neo-Nazis and white supremacists."

"With over 40% of American farm workers lacking legal status, people who used to do the heavy lifting are now staying home in fear while crops rot in the fields."

Deliberately choosing to decimate your labor force, labor desperately needed to put food on your table, for the cheap, evanescent thrill of demonstrating domination over those you consider less than yourself, is not just stupid: it's suicidal.

"Setting aside perceptions, foreign leaders are aware, even if Trump is not, that his anti-immigrant push has hurt global and local economies.
