The NSS 2025 defines a new hierarchy of American power. 💡 We analyze how Washington views the top players: China as the main material adversary, India as the geopolitical balancer, and Germany as Europe's "vulnerable" and problematic front, in contrast to the Anglosphere, which constitutes the stable core.
🔎 Analysis of the New Hierarchy of International Relations
China: The Central Structural Adversary: The strategy does not view China as an existential risk, but as the primary competitor on a technological, economic, and material level. The NSS seeks to renegotiate the relationship, re-establish balance in supply chains, and limit Chinese influence in East Asia, focusing on superiority in AI and quantum technologies.
India: The Ascending Balancer: For the first time, India assumes such a central role, not as a "democratic counterweight," but as a rising power and pillar capable of:
Absorbing part of Western industrial production (production reallocation).
Acting as a balancer in the Indian Ocean.
Reducing Chinese influence without American military escalation.
Germany: Europe's Problematic Power: The NSS implicitly criticizes the "German model" and European strategy. The text mentions "regulatory overreach," deindustrialization, energy dependence on Russia, and a lack of strategic cohesion. Germany is deemed no longer able to lead Europe.
France: The Potential Ally Without a Decisive Role: France is closer to the American model ("creative, democratic ally"), but the strategy suggests that French diplomacy is unable to impose a unified European line or act autonomously. It is treated as an important, but not decisive, partner.
Anglosphere: The Core of Power: The most positive positioning concerns Britain and Ireland, due to their "deep historical and cultural affinity." The broader Anglosphere (Australia, Canada, New Zealand) is considered the most reliable extension of American power and the stable base of the new doctrine.
⚠️ Conclusion: Shift in the Center of Gravity The NSS 2025 reflects the shift of the geopolitical center of gravity from Europe to Asia. Alliances are readjusted based on realism and power projection, demanding transformation from Asian allies and correction from European ones.
