RT by @2000grips: Two Chinese and seven Russian military aircraft, including long-range bombers and fighter jets, entered South Korea’s Air Defense Identification Zone (KADIZ) this morning at around 10:00 a.m. over the waters to the south and east of the Korean Peninsula, while operating over the Sea of Japan. Fighters with the Republic of Korea Air Force were scrambled in response to the intrusion - the first such incident to have occurred since November 2024 - in preparation for a possible “accidental situation,” according to the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff.

RT by @2000grips: This is big. The final U.S. National Security Strategy was just published and the refocus on the Western Hemisphere (i.e. the Americas) is confirmed. The document clearly establishes this as the U.S.'s number 1 priority, saying that the U.S. will now "assert and enforce a 'Trump Corollary' to the Monroe Doctrine." In terms of military presence, they write that this means "a readjustment of our global military presence to address urgent threats in our Hemisphere, and away from theaters whose relative import to American national security has declined in recent decades or years." On China, a couple of points. The most striking aspect to me is that China is NOT anymore defined as "the" primary threat, "most consequential challenge," "pacing threat," or similar formulations used in previous such documents. It's clearly downgraded as a priority. Based on the document's structure and emphasis, the top U.S. priorities could be characterized as: 1) Homeland security and borders (migration, cartels, etc.) 2) Western Hemisphere (Monroe Doctrine restoration) 3) Economic security (reindustrialization, supply chains) 4) China and Indo-Pacific To be clear they don't define China as an ally or a partner in any shape or form but primarily as 1) an economic competitor, 2) a source of supply chain vulnerabilities (but also a trading partner) and 3) a player who regional dominance should be "ideally" denied because it "has major implications for the U.S. economy." Interestingly, I believe for the first time ever, they mention the possibility of being overmatched militarily by China: - They write that "deterring a conflict over Taiwan, ideally by preserving military overmatch, is a priority": "ideally" clearly means that it's ideal, but not necessarily a given. The fact that they call deterring conflict over Taiwan merely "a priority" also suggests, by definition, that it's no more a top strategic priority, or a vital interest. - On Taiwan they also clearly imply that if the U.S.'s "First Island Chain allies" don't "step up and spend - and more importantly do - much more for collective defense", then there might be "a balance of forces so unfavorable to us as to make defending that island impossible." They still maintain that "the United States does not support any unilateral change to the status quo in the Taiwan Strait" but, clearly, there's a widening gap between what the US says it opposes and what it's actually willing to do about it. Interestingly as well, contrary to previous such document, there is zero ideological dimension in the document when it comes to China. No "democracy vs. autocracy" framing, no "rules-based international order" to defend, no values-based crusade. China is treated as a practical issue to be managed, not an ideological adversary to be defeated. In fact the document explicitly mentions, I think for the first time ever as well, that US policy is now: - "not grounded in traditional, political ideology" - that they "seek good relations and peaceful commercial relations with the nations of the world without imposing on them democratic or other social change that differs widely from their traditions and histories" - and that they seek "good relations with nations whose governing systems differ from ours." Which is quite a stunning departure from the rhetoric of the past few decades. We all knew this but it's now amply clear that the era of missionary liberal internationalism in US foreign policy is dead and buried. The competition with China is primarily described in economic terms, explicitly so: they write the competition is about "winning the economic future" and that economics are "the ultimate stakes." Notably, they admit that the tariffs approach "that began in 2017" when it comes to China essentially failed because "China adapted" and has "strengthened its hold on supply chains." The new strategy, as described in the document, is to build an economic coalition against China that can exert more leverage than the US economy alone - a tacit admission that America just isn't powerful enough on its own anymore. The contradiction is however obvious: unclear how you build an economic coalition against China while simultaneously waging trade wars against your coalition partners, demanding they shoulder more of their own defense, and treating every allied relationship as a deal to be renegotiated in America's favor. At some point these "allies" will be asking a very obvious question: why sacrifice our economic interests to prop up an America that can no longer compete on its own - and that offers us less and less in return? The document can be found here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf

RT by @2000grips: The West Is Running Out of Time The President of Finland, Alexander Stubb, has published an important article, “The West’s Last Chance,” arguing that the post–World War II order — built on cooperation, rules, and shared values — is breaking down. Wars are multiplying, alliances are fracturing, and rising powers across the global South are reshaping the geopolitical landscape. This may be the West’s last chance to rebuild an international order that protects freedom, stability, and smaller nations like Ukraine. If the West fails, the alternative is a world governed by raw power — where aggression goes unpunished and borders mean nothing. Key Points: 1. The old world order is collapsing. The rules-based system that kept global peace for decades is unraveling under the pressure of wars, authoritarianism, and great-power competition. 2. A fragmented, multipolar world is emerging. Influence is shifting to regional and “middle” powers — from India and Brazil to Turkey and Saudi Arabia — who no longer accept a Western-led system. 3. Global conflict is rising because institutions are failing. The UN, EU, WTO, and other bodies lack the cohesion, authority, or legitimacy to stop aggression or resolve crises. 4. The West is dangerously divided. Political polarization, inconsistent leadership, and short-term thinking weaken the ability of democracies to respond to global threats. 5. The global South feels ignored — and is choosing its own path. Many countries believe the old system served Western interests, not theirs, and are now shaping alternative alliances and norms. 6. If the West does nothing, “might makes right” becomes the new global law. A world where russia can invade neighbors, China redraws borders, and small countries lose basic security guarantees. 7. The West still has a narrow window to act. Not to restore the old world, but to build a new one — inclusive, modernized, and capable of protecting sovereignty and stability. 8. The solution is renewed, reformed multilateralism. Western democracies must modernize global institutions, bring rising powers into decision-making, and rebuild trust in shared rules. 9. Leadership matters: hesitation is fatal. Without coordinated Western leadership, authoritarian regimes will reshape the global order in their image. 10. The stakes are existential for countries like Ukraine. If the world shifts to a system where aggression is rewarded and sovereignty becomes negotiable, Ukraine will be the first — not the last — victim. Source: Foreign Affairs
