In this SITREP, retired Marine Brad “Iceman” Colbert breaks down the Trump administration’s newly released National Security Strategy, placing it within the long arc of U.S. foreign policy. Brad explains the administration’s shift toward sovereignty, unilateralism, and America-first strategic priorities, marking a significant departure from decades of globalist approaches.
He analyzes the renewed prioritization of the Western Hemisphere, its impact on U.S. military and intelligence operations, and the heightened strategic importance of Taiwan in the growing U.S.–China rivalry. Brad also examines the shifting weight placed on Europe, the deliberate deprioritization of the Middle East, and what these realignments signal for future U.S. engagement.
The Iceman dives into the rapidly expanding role of AI in military operations—from targeting and logistics to intelligence and autonomous systems—and how artificial intelligence is already reshaping the future battlefield.
This SITREP delivers unfiltered insight into how these strategic shifts will affect U.S. foreign policy, global stability, national defense, and the next era of warfare.
