The leading state sponsor of terrorism decapitated. A Latin American dictator moonlighting as a drug dealer incarcerated in Manhattan. What do these events have in common with tariffs, Greenland, AI, frank discussions with European Allies, and destroying drug running boats in the Caribbean?
For one, the news cycle churns at a dizzying pace under Trump 47. Yesterday’s “bombshell” story fades into distant memory, avoiding placement into a coherent framework. The next headline emerges, and the media scrambles to cover it all. But here’s a stab at explaining all these seemingly disparate events. America has finally crafted a workable grand strategy for the first time in nearly four decades. All the hubbub represents the marshaling of our national resources to secure America’s most important interests. As Secretary Rubio elegantly laid out in Munich a few weeks ago, America has adopted a strategy suited for the century we are in. Not the one we just left.
