American Military Strength<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s vital to acknowledge that there are authoritarian forces in the world that view democratic nations as a threat to their power. McMaster insists that American military strength must stand firm against these forces, whether they be governments or terrorist organizations. America and its allies must be prepared for conflict while improving its defense against cyberattacks and making use of information media to counter the narratives spread by oppressive regimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McMaster recommends that the U.S. and NATO increase their military preparedness, specifically as a defense against Russian aggression. Diplomatic ties across the world should be bolstered against China\u2019s divide-and-conquer economics. In the Middle East, the long-term goal should be ending sectarian conflicts while partnering with law enforcement and allied intelligence networks to cut off funding and support for terror groups. Meanwhile, America must engage with the community of nations to let aggressor states know that violent action is not a viable path to their goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. on the Global Stage<\/strong>

To implement McMaster\u2019s diplomatic strategies, the first step for the U.S. is to reestablish its standing with its allies. Early in his presidency, Biden set repairing alliances as a top foreign policy priority<\/a>. A Gallup poll confirms that global views of U.S. leadership rebounded<\/a> soon after Biden took office, even as Biden\u2019s approval ratings within the U.S. faltered<\/a>.

The war in Ukraine has served as a litmus test for Americans\u2019 willingness to engage in global conflict. By the start of 2023, the U.S. had provided $25 billion in military aid to Ukraine<\/a>, $15 billion in financial support, and $10 billion in humanitarian assistance<\/a>. Polls in 2022<\/a> showed a shift from a belief among Americans that the U.S. wasn\u2019t providing enough support toward a general feeling that the country was taking the appropriate steps in the conflict. A majority of Americans have been following the conflict and remain in favor of providing assistance<\/a>.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Beyond these traditional avenues of diplomatic and military intervention<\/a>, the U.S. must go on the offensive and regain ground in the world of cyberspace. This includes intercepting cyberattacks before they happen and countering attempts to subvert elections through social media. McMaster also points out that America must maintain control of its information infrastructure. In this, the private sector is just as important, if not more so, than the government. U.S. companies and academic institutions must recognize the national security risks involved with breaches of their information security and be prepared to defend themselves accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: According to the International Telecommunication Union\u2019s Global Cybersecurity Index<\/a>, the U.S. leads the world in terms of cyber threat prevention, laws to protect data, and readiness to defend against attacks in cyberspace. Nevertheless, perpetrators of cybercrime are growing more sophisticated<\/a>, and while some forms of online attacks are in decline, the total harm done by internet criminals may soon grow beyond $10 trillion per year.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, while technological secrets must be protected, <\/strong>it\u2019s been shown that despotic regimes are vulnerable when their people have access to information outside of government channels.<\/strong> Radical groups such as the Taliban also rely on an uneducated populace susceptible to propaganda. McMaster says the U.S. should establish information paths into oppressed societies, both through online media and by befriending communities of ex-pats. The latter can be accomplished through community outreach programs and by welcoming foreign students into academia. When America creates a positive impression on those who\u2019ve fled from dictatorial rule, that impression often trickles back and undermines their leaders\u2019 claims to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: The Internet would seem to be the easiest way to provide outside news to countries with no free press. However, the freedom of the Internet has been declining worldwide for years<\/a>, with many governments finding ways to restrict access and block content. China uses its control of the Internet to spread propaganda and crack down on anti-Communist thought<\/a>. There are ways to get around authoritarian controls, such as virtual private networks and anonymous browsers<\/a>, though people take a risk when they access information their governments deem to be illegal.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
