A blind runaway train on one side and an unmoored ship yelling "America first! by way of compensation for the aimless drift on the other. Sounds like a recipe for something? What do you make of the somewhat downplayed version of the PRC in the 2025 NSS?

The NSS seems like a brand new political philosophy for the United States that seems entirely detached from recent historical experience.

That’s for sure. Like a 180 degree turn on a series of key issues, from Russia and Europe to global challenges and the role of International Organizations in dealing with them. The relatively subdued take on the PRC was equally notable but less noted by the commentariat thus far. I’m tempted to find fault in everything I see emanating from this nefarious, self-dealing, gang-that-can’t-shoot-straight administration but find myself more circumspect about the PRC question. Keep up the good work.
