National Security Strategy/ Guide through the
most important sections
America finally has an updated National Security
Strategy (NSS). More than any other document, it signals President Obama’s
global priorities. The NSS is a report required annually by Congress, but the
current administration has gone almost five years between strategies, so it’s
natural that interest in it is high. Unfortunately, these documents can be very
difficult to read, even for those immersed in the minutiae of national
security. Add to this the requirement that the strategies must contain voluminous
repetitions of boring platitudes about America’s virtuousness, and most readers
can be forgiven for not comprehending the intended messages from the official
statement of what we might label America’s updated “grand strategy”.
