Mirror, Mirror: Trump's NSS and the Illusion of US Strategy
Trump addressing top US military figures in September -- public domain image By Biljana Vankovska Like every U.S. administration since the Cold War, the Trump administration has released a document titled the National Security Strategy (NSS). I use the word “titled” deliberately, for if this text were not stamped with the official seal of the United States, it would hardly merit the designation of “strategy.” It is a document that contains little that is strategic and even
