"Trump’s new national security strategy will preserve the Obama-era declaration of Russia and China as the two main challengers to US global power, excerpts from the document released by the White House show. The new strategy, which is to be announced later on Monday, comes after months of deliberation by the Trump administration. It will state that China and Russia “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,” according to the excerpts."

We need to be allies with Russia and China. Especially Russia. Your thoughts?

The world would be a lot better place, no living constantly under the threat of nuclear annihilation, unfortunately the bankers and owners of the Military Industrial Complex have to have their boogy man in order to keep their business going.

I'm also suspicious about "promoting American values." That sounds interventionist. Half of our support base are Libertarians. I think we should encourage foreigners to do more to correct the problems in their own countries.

"America First" should mean "don't spy on Americans." The FISA Court and NSA are in violation of the constitution.

Yup. And bringing ALL our troops home. WTF are we doing in 150 countries? If someone invades us how will we defend ourselves with our military spread across the globe?

That is laughably irrelevant. Pearl Harbor was almost 75 years ago if some "sneak attack" is what you're aiming at. Number one) bases in these points allow for quick launching points, intel, local diplomacy (albeit with sometimes humiliating results), defense of strategic/allied importance, among a number of other reasons; Number two) eyes on climates or movements of all other nations on the planet already allow for plenty of time to shuffle "back home" if such a threat were ever eminent.

True, but we have to be honest with ourselves. I love Trump and was happy that he won, but he has been pro spying from day one. Ron Paul back in 2008 would have been awesome, but I'll take Trump over everything else any day.

I think it should also mean ending government/political grift. At least auditing DoD is a start.

Really it's not even just fisa, nsa, dod embezzlement issues. It's quite a mountain of issues that citizens have found themselves burdened with accumulated over the past several decades that are at issue that so far no "leader" has led them out from under.

Disclaimer: I approve of Trump so far, but I don't admire his position.

Watch there be new surveillance bills to be passed with this. I guarantee the gov isn't scaling down anything that they care about. More surveillance, it's going to happen.

Principled Realism ......Like Race Realism can be used to rebuff accusations of Racism; This term should be used to describe a movement to rebuff Cultural Marxist dogma and political correctness.

"to do". It's already Monday by the time article was published and link posted. Is there a current link of some sort to actual plans unveiled?
