Donald Trump is slated to unveil his first national security strategy on Monday afternoon, making a big public show of something his immediate predecessors simply published without coming out for a speech. The strategy is reportedly “drawn from speeches Mr. Trump had delivered during the presidential campaign, in Europe and Asia and at the United Nations,” so expect the fear quotient to be high and the coherence quotient to be low.
And then there’s this:
China and Russia, the document says, “are determined to make economies less free and less fair, to grow their militaries, and to control information and data to repress their societies and expand their influence.”
Projection? Envy? Whatever it is, it sure sounds familiar in the context of Trump’s America.
