This paper argues for: leverage change to build new, better forces for the 21st century, allowing for deep spending cuts of \$400-500 billion. This approach enhances the U.S. military’s competitive advantage in future warfare and improves American national security by ending open-ended interventions without attainable political-military objectives. Assuming Congress acts wisely, the resulting annualized savings can both pay down the national debt and reorient U.S. military power to new forms of warfare.
Grand Strategy and New Thinking
Grand strategy, if it exists at all, consists of avoiding conflict, not starting wars. New thinking in defense and foreign policy prioritizes diplomacy and peaceful cooperation over military power. None of America’s potential opponents, except those with nuclear weapons, pose a direct threat to the American homeland. If international terrorism and criminality remain threats, then border security and tightly controlled immigration should be the top priority in national security.
Senior military leaders and their services cannot be expected to reform themselves and fundamentally change the military status quo—a World War II/Cold War structure that is expensive, single-service focused, and vulnerable to weapons of mass destruction. Peter Drucker, when asked how to change a large business enterprise, answered, “If you want something new, you must stop doing something old. People in any organization are always attached to the obsolete.”
In line with Drucker’s guidance, the incoming President must implement a new national military strategy that diverges sharply from the last 30 years. This strategy must scale back America’s forward presence, mandate adaptation to new forms of warfare, and address the requirement to retain and develop America’s best human capital in uniform.
UPDATE: Macgregor describes Trump’s cabinet nominees as: ‘Elite capture. There is nothing more reliable than a man who can be bought for cold, hard cash. All of these people have been bought and paid for. There have been investments for twenty years, ranging into 100s of millions maybe billions of dollars by Israel and its agents in the United States to drive us into war against Iran. Now, they are positioned to finally get what they want’. ABN
UPDATE: Maybe I am clutching at straws, but it could also be that Trump’s many pro-Israel nominees are also the best people to say no to Netanyahu, no to war with Iran. ABN
This is the obvious conclusion. I have been saying it all along and am glad to hear McCullough say it so clearly today. The plandemic was anti-science PCR test fakery coupled with sophisticated scientific mind-control leading to worldwide administration of the bioweapon vax, especially in the West and by extension allies of the West. So, who did it? All we know is ultimate responsibility for it resides high up in the comitatus that controls DOD and NSA. We know it’s up there somewhere but who or what is ultimately in control is not knowable to anyone but them. It strongly appears to have been an attack on the West and Western allies, but who would do that? I do not know the answer to that question but I do know that that question is the most important question for us to answer. The answer to who did it is probably the same or close to the answer to who is bringing so many illegal military age men into the West? Who is working so hard and so consistently in the same direction — to destroy every last bit of Western civilization? One probable motive for this attack is hatred and fear. The other is total control through annihilation. If we assess the probability that this is what is happening and plot that probability against how serious this attack is, we must conclude that the probability that it is a deliberate attack is very high and that the seriousness of the attack is even higher.

In Europe we have a situation never seen in history: a) the immigrants who consume most of the social assistance are also b) vastly overrepresented in sexual assaults and criminal convictions, while c) governments insist that immigrants are enriching Europeans and that d) those who deny this, and talk about a and b, are spreading “misinformation”.
Before about 2018 it was very easy to find information about immigrant crime stats but since then they have systematically erased this information from Google and many other research engines.
We can still find some information the mainstream media can’t hide and acknowledges, but it is thanks to X that we have some of these Facts on File:
There are two probable reasons for these immigration policies: 1) Eurocrats are super-idiots or 2) Eurocrats are controlled by super-evil people, in which case Eurocrats are super-cowards as well as greedy idiots. USA has a similar problem entailing similar questions. To me it does seem that the top powers of the West in general hate the West and want to destroy it. This suggests Jewish power is to blame, or some amalgam of Jewish power with crazy European royals and American billionaire gangs. I doubt anyone knows for sure, but Israel/Jews do seem to be wagging the dog more consistently and with more reason and in the same directions more than anyone else. Moreover they have a long history of abusing Western peoples; consider the sociopathic Arenda system and the Bolsheviks. Those are some of the main facts. Add and subtract what you like and draw your own conclusions, which must necessarily be provisional. ABN
I doubt this is the whole story. One thing is clear — the extra 10 million votes Biden received in 2020 courtesy of US IC were not given to Kamala, so the election this year was more or less ‘fair’ insofar as that word means anything in politics. What this added factor of IC not adding 10 million votes to the computer system for Kamala means is Trump had to have cut a deal with IC before the election. What was the deal? Hard to say, but bomb Iran is likely. So maybe Trump traded bomb Iran for getting elected, after which he plans to end the war in Ukraine and fix lots of other stuff. Who controls IC? That is the really big question. Trump probably knows but there is no way we can be sure of that and neither can he. All he knows is he made a deal with some people and they delivered a clean-enough election to give him victory. Were the people he made a deal with the people who are really in control, or just their emissaries? I doubt Trump really knows. This is the real nature of power in a KOBK world. How big is Israel’s role in US power-plays? The answer is similar — no one really knows. Do the top Jews in the world know for sure how much power they have? Do they control US IC or do they just think they do? The impossibility of answering these questions reveals the true nature of power in this world and why we have so many wars. If you can bomb your adversary, really kill them, you know at least you are more powerful than them. ABN
If the basic story unfolding in Mar-a-Lago is to be believed, RFK JR, Elon Musk and a small group of technocrats and billionaires have become the ‘kitchen cabinet’ advisors putting the Trump administration together. Rumors swirl that Melania Trump, Devin Nunes and Dan Scavino have checked out of the ridiculous “non-clown-car” hot mess until the dust settles.
Adding evidence to this possibility, the media are starting to report on some rather, well, shall we say, curious picks from the Mar-a-Lago transition group.
Everyone else, except you guys, will miss what each of the New York Post “leaked” names have in common. They are all in direct alignment with the retention of the Intelligence Community as it exists. For the IC, this is the team that lets them hunker down until ’28.
♦ Rubio at State:
Rubio would be the IC pick because, well, he is Vice-Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and a direct installment due to his efforts to support the prior Trump targeting; which included the big assist to then Vice-Chair Mark Warner. The IC has super thick black files on Rubio, they’d love to have him at State. This rumor seems ridiculous.
Actually, this rumor seems like a leak trap.
♦ Waltz as National Security Advisor.
Putting aside all of his wife’s very direct and sketchy associations with the World Economic Forum, Representative Mike Waltz is currently a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, HPSCI.
Waltz supports U.S. troops in Ukraine, wants to continue the anti-Russia narrative, and has openly pushed every narrative the IC has presented to him in briefings. Mike Waltz believes everything that comes from the Intelligence Community as gospel.
As National Security Advisor, Waltz would be awesome for the intents of the IC stakeholders. You cannot see the IC corruption around you from a position inside the IC corruption.
♦ Kash at CIA.
This is the one part of the outline of leaks that gives me hope all of these rumors are nonsense.
Kash at CIA would be as valuable as Andrew Weissmann as White House counsel. Patel has never managed anything, let alone an aggressive and massive global spy agency. However, he does like the spotlight and would be able to invest in a lifestyle more befitting his opinion of himself.
Remember,…
♦ The U.S State Dept and CIA operation is like a restaurant. The Dept of State is the front of the restaurant, with the Secretary as the Maitre D’. The CIA is the back of the restaurant, the kitchen. The Director is the Chef. The consulates are the wait staff. USAID are the food runners. The Dept of Defense are the bus boys.
Yesterday, someone shared your Twitter post with me. I have also read some of the responses to it. I imagine yesterday was a very difficult day for you, especially given the concerns for your mother.
I find it hard to imagine what it must be like to spend four years deep in one belief system and then suddenly, and horribly, have your eyes open to the fact that you may have been deceived.
I will take you through the scientific evidence for why what happened to your mother was related to her covid vaccines and not to “asymptomatic covid”. You said you only want peer reviewed evidence so you can check funding sources etc. Let me reassure you that funding concerns are all in one direction through pharma sponsorship (see editors of NEJM and Lancet) and no money comes to those who are raising concerns.
