- The balance of power and persuasion in the world has shifted against the United States and other free and open societies. False assumptions stemming from overconfidence after the Cold War have resulted in strategic narcissism in American foreign affairs. By adopting strategic empathy, we can combat the negative effects of strategic narcissism and secure a better world for future generations.

Repeating a lie thousands of times, even the lier thinks that it is a truth.
I’ve served 18 years in the military, are you a freaking idiot?
David Raeke I was gonna go into how our “GREATEST ALLY” Israel has lied countless times in order to con the US into fighting wars for them and go AGAINST American interests. But, I feel like that will prolly go over your head.
Or...we can allow countries to find their own solutions? How long are America and its allies going to "empathetically" force their power over smaller countries? Stay out of foreign nations
What about the lap top?
hmm, just curious how americans would react to some other nation having boots on the ground for decades in america, whether they referred to it as "full spectrum dominance" or "strategic empathy" or some other euphemism. and, while it's not controversial to argue that we suffer from strategic narcissism, is there perhaps a more cynical angle as well? have we already forgotten oliver north's fascinating testimony before congress in 1987? or the CIA coup against mohammed mossadeq's parliamentary gub'mint in order to reinstate the shah of iran in 1953? is it possible there is a more complex narrative that this gentleman has omitted?
I agree with the other stuff, but I want to point out that foreign troop occupation in america is not equivocal. Americans would be upset without a doubt, but the only people actually pissed with american presence in iraq or afghanistan are the islamic radicals. Very few actual morally conscious countrymen in iraq had actually cared. From what I hear the afghani are actually very motivated to take their country back, but not from america. Rather from the taliban.
If we as a nation would bring back God's Word into our schools, colleges, our capitals, and our homes, change our hearts, respect & love one another no matter if they're different; maybe then God will bless our Country once again. Pray for revival in our hearts, tell others about His goodness and mercies, and help someone that can't pay you back. Not all the riches on earth can bring happiness.
@@1stockdale159 I pray to Jesus every day that he protect me, my family, and my country from his followers. Maybe you should follow his directive to pray privately at home instead of on the street corner.
@@1stockdale159 the Word, in Greek, is Logos. And in ancient Greece (creators of Democracy in Athens, first constitutional government in the world), and was used in contrast to 2 other concepts: Ethos & Pathos, ethics & passions. The "word" is Reason. Origins of our word, logic.
It would be wise to view the British documentary "The Greatest Show on Earth" and Liam Neeson's narration of "THE GREEKS-CRUCIBLE OF CIVILIZATION". Both on RUclips.
The Founding Fathers knew Greek, Latin, & history. The Rise & Fall of Athens, if history is cyclic, is our fate.
And we're right on target...
So unless we understand, it's over. But worth fighting for; it always comes back. Always.
Strategic empathy doesn't mean getting touchy feely with enemies. It means understanding what drives them, what kind of future they want to build, learning their hopes and dreams, and using that knowledge to fight against them. It's kind of twisted.

I heard how he spoke in a human voice and said to the eagle(Rome/America and the European countries), 38 “Listen, you, and I will speak to you. 2 Esdras 11:37 And I looked and saw something like a lion being roused, roaring out of the forest.

Spot on Sir!
Although I only spent 12 years in a field of operations, planning and intelligence, I have never understood particular leaders, as Adm Stavridis (whom I respect) speaking in the context of a global navy. In my humble opinion, basing your own order of battle, by assumption of cooperation, outside of our own organic platforms is a grave fallacy, its like me saying I have sugar because my neighbor does. With the absolute debacle of the Afghanistan withdrawal, we turned many of our European Allies cold. We could be providing crucial energy exports, but instead weve compromised our own National Security by diminishing Strategic Oil Reserves, while at the same time diligently searching for a political narrative about domestic extremists. As mentioned by The General the narcissistic view, that we can ignore geopolitical conflicts by focusing on a narrative that seeds power, but ignores the islamic crisis in Africa, Chinese intellectual theft, Iranian export of terrorism and conflict in other choke point areas, while maintaining an open border is absolute incompetence. We are vulnerable, and were taking a knee to do it. There needs to be accountability.
Idology, emotions and aspirations motivate our "enemies" to persue their cause. Keep in mind that policy makers are not elected by the people, they are nothing more but employees of the government. This is one of the problems we have, the military listens to these policy makers who have no background in the military, yet they tell the big brass what they should do. It's the reason we have "wokeism" in our military, the media, and corporations. The US must look inside herself and begin a process of calling a spade a spade. We have enemies within and outside our country who want to destroy who we are as a nation. We have redefined what American democracy is instead of retaining the original meaning. We have created a safety net for non Americans to come into our borders and take advantage of our system at the expense of our citizens. Our constitutional rights are under attack and our government institutions does not uphold the law. We are obligated to defend our nation not the Free World. Strategic narcissism is what H.R. McMaster calls those who want to protect our own American interest. Hmmm...
When nobody can beat us militarily, the best thing to do is join us, and our southern neighbors and others from around the world did just that by hopping the border and outnumbering us demographically. Our military never protected us. In fact, having such a powerful military utterly destroyed us. Outlandish military spending sucked Americans dry and dampened our numbers, reducing the money we had for making families and investing in our children's futures. It suppressed our birth rate. To make up for this gaping demographic hole, our masters opened the borders wide, and now 1/3 of Mexico now lives in America. No hate on my Mexican neighbors, I respect yall. We have only ourselves to blame. If you serve in our military you're a mercenary for the central banks, and there is no honor in that. There is only honor in protecting your brothers once you realize the sh!t you're in.
This video 2 years old but I like should been no fly zone over Ukraine
0 ?? Really?
Excellent analysis. Hopefully Biden can continue to apply this concept
@ Jeff Blunte. That's a joke, right?
Yeah that better be a joke
Great speech sir!
I do not think that George Herbert Walker Bush can be tagged with “strategic narcissism”. Unfortunately, he never had a second term to fully develop a mature post-cold war FP strategy.
didn't bill Clinton believe same thing
Yes. Former counter-terrorism worker here (Institute for Defense Analyses). Lots of "Pleiadians" are all about empathy, but they don't seem to realize that security is more important (according to Maslow). It's an auspicious coincidence that empathy happens to offer security.
By some estimates there are over 500000 slaves in Libya now because of the US offing Gaddafi. Is that part of this empathy? Iran and Russia are capitalizing on chaos that the US and it's "empathy". People in the "intelligence" community should have been hanged for the invasion of Iraq.
New World order is whatever United States and NATO think. Just because you believe it this way doesn’t mean others should. The way United States and NATO think in the way the culture is, it is laughable to even ask self righteous, at its best
We're going to stand and fight
The only challenge to American security is American hegemony itself
Exactly. I posted this on another comment but it wasn't allowed so I edited it slightly to possibly make it less offensive.
