The "Great Reset" of American Power: Analysis of the 2025 US National Security Strategy 💡
The 2025 US National Security Strategy (NSS 2025) is a geopolitical manifesto of the "America First" doctrine. We analyze the "Great Reset" of American foreign policy: the shifting of priorities, the hierarchy of adversaries (China, Russia, Iran), and the fundamental revision of the US role in Europe and the Middle East.
🔎 Analysis of NSS 2025 Key Directives
The text explicitly outlines a departure from traditional multilateralism toward a transactional, interest-driven approach:
The "America First" Doctrine: The strategy denounces past "globalist elites" and pivots toward protecting "God-given natural rights," domestic social cohesion, and the American industrial base.
Five Core Interests: 1. Primacy in the Western Hemisphere ("Trump Corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine). 2. A "Free" Indo-Pacific. 3. A secure (but self-reliant) Europe. 4. Prevention of hostile dominance in the Middle East. 5. Guaranteed American technological supremacy (AI, Quantum, Semiconductors).
China & Asia: China is identified as the primary strategic rival. The strategy calls for a massive trade rebalancing, the protection of critical supply chains, and the deterrence of military conflict in Taiwan. Allies like Japan and South Korea are explicitly pressured to significantly increase their defense spending.
Europe & Russia: The document expresses concern over Europe’s "civilizational self-confidence." A core "hard" interest is the negotiation of a "rapid cessation of hostilities in Ukraine" to restore strategic stability with Russia and pivot resources elsewhere.
The Middle East: The era in which the region dominated American strategic planning "has finally ended." While Iran remains the "primary destabilizing force," the US seeks to limit its political and military liabilities, viewing the region primarily through the lens of investment and energy security.
Regional Perspectives: Turkey is mentioned indirectly within the framework of stabilizing Syria. Greece is not mentioned by name but is categorized within the "healthy" nations of Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe, which the US intends to reward with increased commercial and defense ties.
🎯 Conclusion: A Harder, Narrower Footprint
NSS 2025 is the roadmap for a more restrained, focused, and transactional American global footprint. The primary objective is no longer to lead the international order, but to extract value from it while maintaining an absolute technological and industrial edge over China.
