The Lead
America Will Be Secure When the Future of Mankind Is Secure
by Diane Sare (EIRNS) — Dec. 06, 2025
Let us found a community of perfectly sovereign nation-states around the evidence that we need one another to prevent a recurrence of the kind of horrors which have afflicted this planet, so frequently, throughout this passing century. Let us build a community of principle on the foundation of a natural law which inheres in that special nature of each man and woman, which sets each, absolutely apart from, and absolutely above, all beasts, a law which inheres in the principle of reason.
Two days ago, the Trump Administration released a document entitled, “National Security Strategy of the United States of America 2025.”
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson wrote that the document “marks a potentially profound shift in U.S. foreign policy under President Donald Trump’s second administration … rejecting global hegemony and ideological crusades in favor of pragmatic, transactional realism focused on protecting core national interests: homeland security, economic prosperity, and regional dominance in the Western Hemisphere.”
There are sections of the Trump National Security Strategy that do express what Johnson states—enough so that the Europeans are having garment-rending, rug-chewing fits, which isn’t a bad thing to cause them to do, however, like President Trump himself, the 32-page policy paper is full of contradictions, and exposes a dangerous, self-deluded attitude about how the rest of the world must perceive us, for example on Page 22: “What differentiates America from the rest of the world—our openness, transparency, trustworthiness, commitment to freedom and innovation, and free market capitalism—will continue to make us the global partner of first choice.” Really? (ed.)
Mainly, the document reveals a juvenile lack of understanding about the principles upon which the United States was founded, stating that the question of national security is “1. What should the United States want? 2. What are our available means to get it? And 3. How can we connect the ends and means into a viable National Security Strategy?”
Can you imagine Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, or John Quincy Adams even thinking of the founding of our nation in such terms?
Missing is the question of necessity to bring human existence into closer coherence with the principles of natural law, which is what is actually expressed in both the American Declaration of Independence and in our Constitution. The purpose of our Republic was never “what can we get for ourselves?” but what can we offer to the development of mankind as a whole?
So, it is useful that the White House’s NSS 2025 explicitly rejects the “permanent domination of the entire world,” and President Trump is correct when he says that Americans were unwilling “to shoulder forever global burdens” with no relationship to perceived national interest. The NSS is correct when it states that the policy for Europe must “prevent” NATO expansion, and stabilize relations with Russia—this being the section causing the hysteria among European elites.
But, the NSS also creates the “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine “to restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere…” (by blowing up people in motor boats in the Caribbean?—ed.)
No mention is made of the serious economic hardship faced by millions of Americans as their healthcare is slashed, their homes foreclosed upon, and their automobiles repossessed. Nor is there any mention of the looming blowout of the trans-Atlantic banking system, which will seriously disrupt everything if not preemptively addressed with LaRouche’s Four Laws.
Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin in his trip to India, has further consolidated the core of the BRICS process, with numerous agreements for Russia-India cooperation on space exploration, energy development, and medical breakthroughs. China, Russia and India, representing ten times the population of the United States, have become an inseparable trio, but no one worries that they are losing their unique cultural characteristics, nor will you hear Putin, Modi, or Xi insisting that his country must be the most supreme over everyone in any category of anything.
The cooperation of these powerful nations poses no threat to the United States. In fact, if we would abandon the narcissistic approach to world politics, which was already exposed by the Grimm Brothers ("Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?") as a losing proposition, and embrace the approach defined by Lyndon LaRouche, above which virtually every problem facing humanity today could be solved.
