In January 2018, the Pentagon released an unclassified summary of a new National Defense Strategy. For the first time since the end of the Cold War, the United States had articulated a clear-eyed analysis of the state of global security challenges and prescribed an actionable strategy to keep and prolong American advantages globally, extending the Pax Americana for years to come.
In declaring an era of great power competition, the NDS set out to unify and rationalize national efforts. Though the strategic environment is fundamentally unlike the Cold War and is more akin to the pre-war early 1900s, we need to regain something that held us together through and enabled us to prevail at the end of the Cold War — a bipartisan foreign and security policy consensus.
