That would be us...


Washington, September 5, 2025, 23:44 — IA Regnum. The US Department of Defense may shift priorities from “containing” China and Russia to internal threats and the Western Hemisphere. This is reported by Politico, citing informed sources.

“The latest draft of the National Defense Strategy, which landed on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s desk last week, prioritizes domestic and regional objectives over countering adversaries like Beijing and Moscow, according to three people familiar with early versions of the report,” the publication says.

As the publication’s sources note, this calls into question the traditional foreign policy promises of the United States.

Earlier, the US Secretary of Defense reported that US President Donald Trump had ordered preparations to contain Russia and China, which had become closer. According to Hegseth, the US intends to rebuild its troops and restore their fighting spirit, but this does not mean that Washington is preparing for conflicts.

The head of the Pentagon specified that the United States will maintain its military capabilities “in space, in the sky, at sea, under water,” in this regard mentioning the “Golden Dome” system, which, in his opinion, “China cannot reproduce.”
