Among the freakouts over the Trump Administration’s new National Security Strategy, the Chutzpah award of the week goes to the New York Times. In an article entitled, “Superpower Competition: The Missing Chapter in Trump’s Security Strategy” Washington correspondent David Sanger bemoans the lack of attention to the threat from Russia, which has, afterall, been “engaged in a nearly four-year-long war in Ukraine and a shadow war against U.S. allies across Europe.”
“The last time President Trump issued a national security strategy, eight years ago, it heralded a return to superpower competition, describing China and Russia as “revisionist” powers seeking to upend American dominance around the world,”
Sanger apparently longs for the “original Trump Administration” anti-Russia orientation.
