The White House releases a new National Security Strategy — and suddenly a pattern clicks into place. From Venezuela’s oil to Greenland’s ice, Trump and his advisers are laying out what we’re calling the Donroe Doctrine: a strongman view of national security where resources, territory, and “American control” justify almost anything.

We break down how the 2025 strategy reframes power, why Venezuela is being treated as a prize, how Greenland became a “national security necessity,” and how Trump’s past obsession with keeping Iraq’s oil helps explain what’s happening now. This isn’t theory anymore — it’s policy.
