@tut0ugh: 🇺🇸The United States has released its 2026 National Defense Strategy (NDS), outlining a shift towards homeland defence, increased allied burden-sharing, and reduced direct military support for partners outside the Indo-Pacific. The strategy states that as US forces prioritise domestic security and the Indo-Pacific, European and other partners will assume primary responsibility for their own defence, supported by more limited American assistance. It marks a departure from the previous NDS under President Joe Biden, which described China as Washington’s most consequential challenge and Russia as an acute threat. The new document adopts a softer tone, calling for “respectful relations” with Beijing and describing Russia as a “persistent but manageable” threat to NATO’s eastern flank. Key priorities include border security, Western Hemisphere military dominance, and increased allied burden-sharing, framed as a “Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.” ℹ️ @FRANCE 24 #UnitedStates #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations #Defense #WorldNews
