Vi återger här några utdrag ur USA:s nya utmanande nationella säkerhetsstrategi. För Sverige som allierad med förenta staterna USA i Nato och ett långtgående DCA-avtal med stormakten ger dokumentet anledning till eftertanke och avstämning av det långsiktigt hållbara i Sveriges nuvarande osjälvständiga egna säkerhetsstrategi som i mycket är baserad på tillit. Vi avser att återkomma till detta strategidokument.
Burden-Sharing and Burden-Shifting
– The days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over. We count among our many allies and partners dozens of wealthy, sophisticated nations that must assume primary responsibility for their regions and contribute far more to our collective defense. President Trump has set a new global standard with the Hague Commitment, which pledges NATO countries to spend 5 percent of GDP on defense and which our NATO allies have endorsed and must now meet. Continuing President Trump’s approach of asking allies to assume primary responsibility for their regions, the United States will organize a burden-sharing network, with our government as convener and supporter.
This approach ensures that burdens are shared and that all such efforts benefit from broader legitimacy. The model will be targeted partnerships that use economic tools to align incentives, share burdens with like-minded allies, and insist on reforms that anchor long-term stability. This strategic clarity will allow the United States to counter hostile and subversive influences efficiently while avoiding the overextension and diffuse focus that undermined past efforts. The United States will stand ready to help— potentially through more favorable treatment on commercial matters, technology sharing, and defense procurement—those counties that willingly take more responsibility for security in their neighborhoods and align their export controls with ours.
