Lots of interesting things here, but here are a few key points:
- They are explicit about reviving the Monroe doctrine, specifically saying they need to readjust their military specifically to “address urgent threats” in the Americas
- A push to make their
vassalsallies build up their own military, saying “The days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over” (kinda self aggrandizing but okay) - There’s a lot focusing on countering China, but around 80% is talking about economic and industrial stuff, there’s surprisingly little about military, mostly saying that they need Japan and the ROK to step up, and also that they “[do] not support any unilateral change to the status quo in the Taiwan Strait.” (which implies they wouldn’t want Taiwan to declare independence either)
- Saying that Europe’s undergoing “civilizational erasure”, talks about immigration and free speech, and aiming towards “Cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations” (sounds kind of like regime change?), and “Ending the perception, and preventing the reality, of NATO as a perpetually expanding alliance”
- The Middle East section is basically glazing Trump’s peacemaking skills, declaring that the US can step away because the region is stable now (not sure what to say about that)
- They want to pursue more trade and investment with Africa, also something about countering “Islamic terrorist activity”


I feel really concerned for Latin Americans now, the whole restructuring the US military for that region makes me think that the US is going to ramp up their “interventions” in a region that has far too much of that already. Also the Europeans are definitely not happy about this one.
The entire continent of Africa as well.
