In November, the Trump administration released its so-called “new” National Security Strategy. Across both mainstream and alternative media, many commentators portrayed the document as a significant break from the hegemonic foreign policy pursued by previous U.S. administrations.

But does that interpretation withstand closer scrutiny?

In this video, Dimitri Lascaris and Rami Yahia examine the National Security Strategy in detail, placing its promises alongside the actual foreign-policy record of the Trump administrations. What lies behind the rhetoric of peace, stability, and restraint? And what would this strategy truly mean for the security of the United States — and the rest of the world?

This video was produced by Reason2Resist and published on their YouTube channel on the 12th of December, 2025. We have translated it into German and are republishing it today to help build opinion on this issue in Germany and beyond.
