Trump’s “America First” National Security Strategy and What It Means for the People
This primer provides an introduction and overall analysis of the US National Security Strategy (NSS) under the Trump regime. It aims to arm activists and advocates leading anti-war, anti-imperialist, and peace organizing with an understanding of the current US NSS and the real impacts on the people, to analyze the NSS in the context of the major fronts of US-led war and crisis of imperialism, and to prepare our movement to strengthen our struggles to expose and oppose US-led war.
Each US administration has issued its own NSS outlining the direction, as well as the strategy and tactics, that the militaristic regime will take to ensure US monopoly capitalist interests. The world's massive industrial, commercial, agricultural, tech, and financial organization directly benefit from the strongest military in the world continuing to ready itself to unleash its might on the people and nations of the world who stand in the way of their profits. The NSS sets the priorities for how the new regime in the White House will carry out its strategy in service of these interests, but it must be understood that these are the profit-driven interests that always guide US military priorities, regardless of which President has defined them. Any talk of "defense," "peace," and protecting the "rules-based order" is mere cover for the real military priority: asserting and protecting US imperial hegemony and laying claim to the resources, markets, and labor power of the world.
