America’s New Security Doctrine and the Reordering of Global Energy Geopolitics
Washington’s newly released National Security Strategy (NSS) has struck Europe with the force of a long-suppressed truth bluntly delivered. For the first time since the end of the Second World War, the United States has published an official doctrine that no longer idealises the post-war transatlantic compact. Instead, it describes an uncomfortable divergence: the United States, still attached to the rough-and-tumble of its First Amendment, democratic accountability and national interest, now sees a Europe that has lost confidence in its own civilisation, abandoning its classical liberal inheritance of free speech and intellectual inquiry. Instead, it chose to pursue utopian projects such as Net Zero, mass immigration and an ever-expanding regulatory state that corrodes its own industrial base.

‘This is unless the globalist-Left Democrats overturn the Trumpian revolution at the next elections’
Of course they will. Where do you think the whole nut zero, DEI, identity politics, came from in the first place?
The origins of the geopolitical crisis in Eastern Europe, 2008 banking crisis, covid idiocy and so on? All donated to us by the very same U.S. that has set out yet another lunatic ‘National Security Strategy’
What happens in the U.S. never stays in the U.S., a business not a country, fickle as the wind….
Europe, Britain, must go its own way. But before that can happen, systemic reform, a reforming government (and a leader of stature) is required.
2020 was a coup, the vote fraud was 30-40 million and this was a main reason the Rona plandemic was implemented – to deny Trump a real term as President. BLM, Anti-fa and other fascist groups were also prevalent, funded and engaged in a low grade civil war. I have no idea who the actors are playing Biden, but they are not Biden and I am still awaiting the Biden crime family (and Fauci etc) to be prosecuted.
The CIA Deep State is rather deep and violent. They want their forever war with Russia and martial law in the US.
Lindsay Graham appears to have huge influence in the forever wars agenda.
To answer your question in the fourth paragraph from the end, without a doubt the USA and for many decades.
Let us not forget that the independent and strong European (Anglo French) international defence posture that the U.S. now advocates was smashed by the threat of economic sanctions by the U.S. itself in 1956 during the Suez crisis.
The U.S. President at the time, President Eisenhower, was a Republican!
Doshi’s USA looks like this. The blue states simply don’t exist. And all the Democrat policies forced onto Europe¹ are genuinely European in his weird imagination.
¹ German establishment politicians seriously act as if segregation has been a German and not an American policy, despite there isn’t even a sizable black minority in Germany.
“The NSS describes a continent undermining the very political liberties it once advocated — censoring speech, suppressing dissent and dissolving its national identities under the weight of unassimilated migration. “ Most of the continent has a very recent relationship with Democracy, and it has had to be imposed on them. The vast majority of the nations which make up the EU were, within living memory, either Communist or Fascist Dictatorships …. and prior to that they were Authoritarian Regimes or Tyrannical Monarchies. They have never advocated for political liberties. The only Nation which did, and no longer does, is the UK. And the Establishment “Elite” of all the western EU nations have deliberately embarked on a policy of destroying their national cohesion and identity via mass immigration. At the moment, some of the Eastern European nations are resisting. But they will find, in due course, that if they remain in the EU they will not be able to do so because freedom of movement will mean that the “new Europeans” from Asia and North Africa will be able to walk into their countries and there is nothing they will be able to do about it ….. except leave the EU.

““The NSS describes a continent undermining the very political liberties it once advocated…”
The Continent has never advocated political liberty liberties. It has ever been a place of authoritarianism and tyrannical regimes, Inquisitions, violent revolutions, wars of conquest, oppression – and never democracy.
It is why England/Britain has so stood out as an exception… until now – 50 years of entanglement with “Europe” transferring our sovereignty, allowing our Common Law to be over-written, has infected us with its vileness.
Most of the continent has a very recent relationship with Democracy, and it has had to be imposed on them. The vast majority of the nations which make up the EU were, within living memory, either Communist or Fascist Dictatorships …. and prior to that they were Authoritarian Regimes or Tyrannical Monarchies.
What Britain and the USA imposed onto these countries wasn’t “democracy” but (Stalinist) communism and they freed themselves from that in a serious of popular uprisings about 35 years ago.
“The real question is what Europe will do now” Nothing useful until they fall under the weight of the Moorish hoards if they continue with leaders like Starmer (Europe is not just the EU and he aligns more with Brussels and Davos in any case )Macron, Van der Leyen and the hysterical German bloke.
“the new US strategic posture shows the extent to which Washington has abandoned the Wolfowitz Doctrine of 1992”
writes Tilak K. Doshi who knows about “energy”.
However, when it comes to “geopolitics” I prefer to listen to people like Brian Berletic who has a totally different view.
New US “National Security Strategy” is Repackaged Wolfowitz Doctrine
▪️The recently release 2025 US National Security Strategy is being misrepresented as a “shift” in US foreign policy, with claims the paper does not cite Russia or China as major threats and instead seeks to focus on the Western Hemisphere;
▪️However, the entire paper is a blueprint for not only continued confrontation with both Russia and China (as well as Iran and beyond), it seeks to enlist and expand what it calls a “burden sharing network” to do so;
▪️While the paper doesn’t name Russia and China directly, it constantly refers to taking actions against “adversaries” obviously meaning both Russia and China;
▪️The paper is an updated continuation of the post-Cold War “Wolfowitz Doctrine” through which the US seeks to maintain global primacy while preventing the emergence of any rival or bloc of rivals;
The old world is not in a good place.
It has no oil and gas, its industry is collapsing, its population is collapsing.
It’s solutions to those problems are terrible: Net Zero, mass immigration and more socialist technocratic central planning and regulation are basically all self defeating.
To make things worse the ruling establishment are tone deaf and incapable of seeing their folly.
What has yet to be seen is whether the US is actually any better. We’ll see.
In Germany, this paper has made quite some waves because of it’s open support for “patriotic” European parties which the political establishment in Europe – as dictated by it’s American overlords – prefers to refer to as Nazis.
As dictated by the Global Satanic Cabal, including George Soros and the rest of the WEF Davos “elite”.
This comes just as blackoutnews reports the next move of the fascist EU is to achieve the dream of its own direct income stream not beholden to the largesse of the member nations. The UN has the same dream but it was thwarted by Donald shooting down the IMO shipping tax. With total disregard for the state of EU economies, the EU are going to go after the big corporations with a tax, increase the level of emissions trading – which will affect us since the moron Two Tier linked us to the EU ETS – and CO2 levies. What could possibly go wrong?
I see exactly where the White House is coming from. Don’t forget that Sweden and Finland were so reliant on the US world-cop that they hadn’t even joined NATO. Europe has more citizens than the US and should be able to police its own continent. It has thrown around welfare money like confetti, piggybacking on US defence largesse. Putin was not far off the mark in describing the EU as an empire of shopping. Why should US taxpayers subsidise European security?
According to Wikipedia, the NATO has 6,163,060 soldiers in total. 2,112,800 of these are American which is a little over ⅓ (34.3%). The USA has 6.2 soldiers by 1000 inhabitants which is 14th out of 32. Lastly, as already mentioned last time, Germany is prohibited from having more than 350,000 personnel in its armed forces by the so-called “2 + 4” treaty. The USA isn’t planning to lift this restriction. Germany can thus never “defend itself” and that’s intentional.
Ergo: You accusation is not only factually wrong but also hypocritical.
Addition which should be made here: Finland is top of the list with 46.2 soldiers per 1000 inhabitants. This means your statement about Finland ‘effortlessly’ piggy-backing on the USA is particlarly disingenuous.
As usual, an articulate no-holds-barred incisive article by our Mr. Doshi. “Washington has abandoned the Wolfowitz Doctrine of 1992 – emphasising the country’s role as the sole superpower and advocating unilateral military action to prevent the rise of potential rivals – and returned to the strategic realism of an earlier age.” America has been forced to change its ways purely and solely by Russia’s fortitude, determination and strength, in that it has absorbed all the “game-changer” weapons, from Himars, to Leopard II, to Abrams, to F16 jets, to Patriot missile batteries, allegedly being destroyed by unstoppable hypersonic missiles at the rate of one per week, according to Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State (Foreign Secretary). Russia has also absorbed the “sanctions from hell” which Liz Truss boasted would “destroy Russia’s economy” in early 2022, and we in Europe see clearly how this economic war on Russia has so spectacularly backfired, crippling Europe and the UK. President Putin predicted this geopolitical revolution, just a couple of months after the SMO began, and now America is forced to acknowledge it, all due to the same Russian strength of will & forbearance and sheer strength that saw off the “invincible” Wehrmacht at Stalingrad &… Read more »
It’s incredible how so much of Europes decline can be traced back to the stupidity of net zero and climate alarmism. I am not a conspiracy theorist but you really would have struggled to invent a better strategy to undermine the west.
Perhaps open borders and population replacement too.
I think the Yank/deepstate orchestrated sabotage of Nordstream was a joint effort of a globalist elite that Trump is successfully decoupling from, even if he did berate the krauts for relyingon Russian gas.
Something the box-heads need to do asap if they want to survive as a industrial economy.
And as Andrei Martyanov put it succinctly: there is no post industrial economy, there is only industrial economy.Pretty much.
