Global Crisis, National Renewal

In "A Revolutionary Grand Strategy," author Charles Hugh Smith argues that national security transcends military force, focusing instead on energy independence, social cohesion, and civic virtue. He warns that the United States, like other nations, faces interconnected systemic crises that challenge conventional responses. This moment presents a crucial opportunity to innovate America's grand strategy, as failing to adapt could lead to the collapse of not only the U.S. but also other nation-states. Smith emphasizes that the future will hinge on the ability to redefine problems and develop effective solutions.
