**Urgent Calls for American Realism in Foreign Policy**
In a world increasingly defined by geopolitical tensions, it’s time for America to adopt a more realistic approach to foreign policy—one that prioritizes national interests before idyllic ideals.
This vision, championed by 47th President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, posits that in a global landscape shaped by the threats of rising powers like China, the traditional approach to U.S. international engagement must be fundamentally rethought.
Following a decades-long trend of over-involvement and misguided commitments, an America-first foreign policy is required now more than ever.
Historically, American leaders have engaged European allies with soft language, treating them as if they were permanent dependents rather than partners. The results have been predictably disappointing: European nations have allowed their defense capabilities to erode, opting instead to invest in domestic welfare programs while relying on the United States to shoulder the burden of their security.
With the U.S. defense industrial base at its weakest in decades, the emphasis must shift. The American military must be prepared to confront its most pressing adversaries—most notably, Communist China—by reclaiming its manufacturing prowess and bolstering its military strength.
Secretary of Energy Chris Wright recently highlighted the dire consequences of this overreliance, emphasizing that Europe’s retreat from its industrial capabilities has weakened not just itself, but has also put American security at risk. Just as troubling, some estimates suggest that the U.S. could run out of critical munitions required to protect its interests within days, should conflict arise.
This moment calls for a departure from the failed policies of the past.
National Security Secretary Pete Hegseth has echoed this sentiment, asserting that American support for NATO must be contingent upon increased contributions from European nations. It is clear that European countries can no longer afford to neglect their defense responsibilities while expecting America to be the default security guarantor.
We must encourage our allies to invest meaningfully in their own military capabilities to strengthen both their sovereignty and the transatlantic alliance. This shift to an America-first realism emphasizes tough choices that protect our core interests, moving away from abstraction and towards effective action.
It’s time for Europe to take responsibility for its own defense while the United States focuses on protecting its homeland and countering the rising threats in the Indo-Pacific.
Under Trump’s leadership, an America that prioritizes its own strategic interests is not just a hopeful notion—it is a necessity for preserving the safety and security of the nation and the global order.
This evolution in foreign policy is long overdue and welcomed. The era of complacency is over; it is time for action.
