What on earth are you waiting for? President Trump’s newly released National Security Strategy is a blatant abandonment of the values that have defined the United States for generations. It reads less like an American document and more like a blueprint borrowed from the Kremlin—centralized power, hostility toward democratic norms, and an alarming comfort with authoritarian thinking. This is not “strength.” This is not “America First.” This is the United States being dragged, willingly or not, into the orbit of regimes we once stood firmly against. Why is Congress silent? Why is there no unified, thunderous pushback against a strategy that tosses aside American principles—transparency, constitutional restraint, rule of law, and the belief that our national security should reflect our moral leadership, not mimic foreign strongmen? America does not become safer by becoming less American. You have the authority—and the duty—to step in. Exercise oversight. Demand hearings. Challenge this reckless framework that undermines our alliances, weakens our global standing, and strips the American people of the values that generations fought and died to protect. History will not be kind to those who watched democratic erosion happen in real time and chose silence. Do something. Rein in this dangerous shift before the United States loses not just its credibility, but its very identity. Stand up. Speak out. Act now.
