Team Trump’s new document repudiates the charge that the president is an isolationist trying to hide from reality.
Many Europeans, American Europhiles, and Never Trumpers are all certain President Trump’s new National Security Strategy must be wrong. Indeed, they write and talk about it as though no rational person could undertake the kind of rethinking Mr. Trump has put into motion.
This is in part because it defies their mental narrative. The new strategy document is a perfect repudiation of their charge that Mr. Trump is an isolationist trying to hide from reality. After many years of living in Europe, getting a Ph.D in European history, and teaching about the art of war since 1983, it seems to me that Mr. Trump’s critics are the ones out of touch with reality.
Yes, Europe was once briefly the center of the world. Those days are gone. Now, the current European elites are doing all they can to prop up a system which cannot compete in a modern technologically advanced world economy. It cannot cope with waves of migration from cultures which repudiate European values. It cannot organize itself to defend itself without American help.
