The repositioning of the U.S.
grand strategy, this is something that Trump is masterminding with his team, including Hegseth and Bridge Colby, who's one of the bright stars, in my opinion, which is why they're trying to take Bridge out.
But they have basically since the summer been working on a new national security strategy that would reorient our forces away from focusing on European area of command, the Middle East, even the Indo-Pacom area to prioritizing Western hemispheric defense.
The administration has been talking about actually getting rid of AFRICOM.
There was one conversation that happened over the summer about that.
and merging it with EUCOM, which is European Command, and then deprioritizing CENTCOM so that we can send those resources to Northern and Southern Command.
Those are the areas.
And the reason is because the post-Cold War unipolar era of America running the world has been over for a while now.
It's just we didn't get the memo.
And so Trump has recognized this, and he's reprioritizing our base, that is our hemisphere, the way that Russia's prioritizing their hemisphere, the way that the Chinese are prioritizing their hemisphere, because the world is now tripolar.
It is three powers that are competing with many other powers rising behind it, and if you don't secure your own home front, that includes Latin America, South America, and the polar regions,
You don't have security at all.
And right now, the Chinese are crawling all over South America.
You talked about Argentina.
I had on my show last night, National Security Talk on Rumble, Dr. Elizabeth Buchanan, who is the leading, she's a good friend.
She's the leading expert on the polar region.
She's down in Australia.
And she was talking about how the Chinese in Antarctica have basically taken over Antarctica and they're building an archipelago of islands into Argentina.
Argentina's ports have been conquered by the Chinese.
They're civilian ports.
