The National Security Strategy From Hell -- Digby
https://digbysblog.net/2025/11/14/the-national-security-strategy-from-hell/The confidential drafting process for Donald Trump’s still-unpublished National Security Strategy, laying out the president’s vision for the world, has stunned some in government who’ve seen the pages so far. A federal staffer tells Zeteo that one version of the draft they saw reminded them of “fascist internet trolls getting worked up about something they saw on Twitter.”

“An NSS is not supposed to look like this,” one of the sources says bluntly.
What does it say?
Knowledgeable sources tell Zeteo that a recent draft of the classified version states that American foreign policy and national-security strategies have been an abject failure since the end of the Cold War, and began losing their way long before that – circa 1898. The draft document takes a hardline stance against what the Trump administration deems destabilizing population flows and migration to a variety of nations, in the Western hemisphere and elsewhere.
According to these sources, the draft NSS obsesses over the spiritual and cultural health of our country and Western civilization, and presents the idea of fostering strong and so-called traditional families as the backbone to security and peace across the globe.
The NSS draft also states plainly that it is in the US national-security interest to help foster the success – and elections – of MAGA-aligned and like-minded, right-wing, populist-nationalist political parties in Europe, and specifically highlights Vice President JD Vance’s February speech at the Munich Security Conference as a model.
The draft document rages against the “erasure,” per two of the sources, of European culture and civilization due to factors like migration rates. It denounces speech regulations and efforts to ban far-right parties, including Alternative for Germany, or AfD.
It name-checks political developments in countries such as Poland and Hungary as glimmers of hope, and as a possible path forward.
They are not concerned with China and Russia (natch — Trump’s buddies) and are focusing instead on this “narco-terrorist” nonsense with a n eye toward some serious imperialist dominance in our hemisphere. It’s not surprising but it is terrifying.
Two nutcases, Stephen Miller and Michael Anton, a longtime “MAGA intellectual” who left the State Department in recent months, are the authors of this crazy report and I’m sure good old JD and Marco are happy to sign on. (Trump is so addled with gold dust and trinkets that he is completely clueless.)

Distrubute some of those trillions wasting away in stocks that will plunge sooner or later, and lift the poverty-stricken masses who believe the propaganda that west is actually rich.
And the rest of the world should quit stealing the resources of the third-world nations and pay for them at OUR market prices. Which IMHO is a big source of the poverty in those nations.
My solution (very liberal, I'll admit) is to give everyone on the planet, who has an average of less than $5000 to their name, $5000 or its equivalent in local currency, to be raised by wealth taxes on anyone who has more than $2,000,000 to their name. Wealth to include all property and stock holdings, etc etc. The rate of taxation would have to be determined by each jurisdiction.
This would so profoundly add to the cash in circulation, that it would lift the economy of the entire planet at the same time, IMHO.
Biden demonstrated that it can work like this, in the middle of the pandemic. Trump and his satanic cronies, broke the system by further reducing the taxes on the wealthy before the full benefits to all could be realized.
Where's my Nobel in economics?
