Hegseth responds to the reported surge in U.S. military strikes under Trump:
“It’s called PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH… After the disastrous years of Joe Biden, when America was woke, weak & in retreat, President Trump and the Dept of War are RE-ESTABLISHING DETERRENCE. We will never back down.”

Our latest commentary by @ckuyoun on the Lee–Trump summit finds:
📷 Cracks in the ROK–US alliance
📷 Trade tensions + ICE raids show U.S. politics can disrupt ties
📷 Seoul must craft a clear North Korea “pacemaker” strategy to win U.S. trust

"A review of the AUKUS agreement by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is focused mainly on reinforcing the pact rather than unraveling it, according to the people familiar with the matter"

A key reason President Trump @POTUS says the US should return to Bagram airbase in Afghanistan: "it's an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons." #US #China #Bagram #Afghanistan #nuclear #deterrence #Prioritizer

After 14 years, I think the time has come to acknowledge that the "Rebalance to Asia" has failed.
I've spent the last decade writing and thinking about how to make the rebalance successful, so this is a painful realization.

China wants a military base in the heart of the Pacific economist.com/asia/2025/09/0… China surreptitiously builds a network of military bases in the Pacific: leasing deep-water harbors adjacent to old airfields in the Solomons; embedding police officers in Kiribati, Samoa & Papua New Guinea; leveraging economic aid (some refer to “CCECC”--“China China Everything China China”); splitting Pacific Island Forum unity; and routinizing PLA visits. @ConnellyAL @TheEconomist #Melanesia #SolomonIslands #dualuse #PLA

Is the "Indo-Pacific" dead? 🪦
Today the Pentagon issued a statement labeling the "Asia-Pacific" the priority theater.
Coming ahead of the National Defense Strategy release and amidst heightened tensions with India, this will definitely raise some eyebrows!

The China-Russia partnership is now "an asymmetric dependency," not an alliance of equals, says RAND's Michael Cecire: "Russia supplies discounted energy and geopolitical disruption, while China delivers technology, trade flows, and financial lifelines." bit.ly/3HnMAg2

Prioritization or Retrenchment?
I think this is the central question for the US strategic community today.
Here’s my new piece trying to add some historical perspective to this the strategic debate. Read it @AEI:

I am saving this article for future reference. Thank you to The Strategist from Australia for putting this together.
This is not only about contributions of treasure but blood as well.
