🇺🇦🇮🇪⚡️ - Four unidentified drones violated a no-fly zone at a Dublin airport as Zelenskyy’s plane arrived on Monday night. It is understood the drones attempted to interfere with the approach of Zelenskyy’s aircraft.

After Zelenskyy’s plane arrived, the drones left the area and then began to circle an Irish Navy vessel, LÉ William Butler Yeats, secretly deployed for his visit. 

Sources claim the drones originated from the northeast of Dublin and flew for up to 2 hours, and an investigation was started to determine if the drones' origin was from land or from a ship. 

Irish forces decided not to shoot down the drones, although they lacked any effective measures to do so.

🇺🇸 - The National Security Strategy of the United States of America, 2025 (published by The White House):

- To ensure that America remains the world’s strongest, richest, most powerful, and most successful country for decades to come, our country needs a coherent, focused strategy for how we interact with the world.

- American strategies since the end of the Cold War have fallen short. After the end of the Cold War, American foreign policy elites convinced
themselves that permanent American domination of the entire world was in the best interests of our country. Yet the affairs of other countries are our concern only if their activities directly threaten our interests.

- We want the continued survival and safety of the United States as an independent, sovereign republic whose government secures the God-given natural rights of its citizens and prioritizes their well-being and interests.

- We want to protect this country, its people, its territory, its economy, and its way of life from military attack and hostile foreign influence.

- We want full control over our borders, over our immigration system, and over transportation networks through which people come into our country—legally and illegally.

- We want a resilient national infrastructure that can withstand natural disasters, resist and thwart foreign threats, and prevent or mitigate any events that might harm the American people or disrupt the American economy.

- We want to recruit, train, equip, and field the world’s most powerful, lethal, and technologically advanced military to protect our interests, deter wars, and—if necessary—win them quickly and decisively, with the lowest possible casualties to our forces.

- We want the world’s most robust, credible, and modern nuclear deterrent, plus next-generation missile defenses.

- We want the world’s strongest, most dynamic, most innovative, and most advanced economy.

- We want the world’s most robust industrial base.

- We want the world’s most robust, productive, and innovative energy sector.

- We want to remain the world’s most scientifically and technologically advanced and innovative country, and to build on these strengths. We want to protect our intellectual property from foreign theft.

-We want to maintain the United States’ unrivaled global “soft power” through which we exercise positive influence throughout the world that furthers our interests.

- We want the restoration and reinvigoration of American spiritual and cultural health, without which long-term security is impossible.

Part One

🇺🇸 - The National Security Strategy of the United States of America, 2025 (published by The White House):

- We will reinforce the Monroe Doctrine.

- We want to ensure that the Western Hemisphere remains reasonably stable and well-governed enough.

- We want a Hemisphere whose governments cooperate with us
against narco-terrorists, cartels, and other transnational criminal
organizations.

- We want a Hemisphere that remains free of hostile foreign incursion or ownership of key assets.

- We want to ensure our continued access to key strategic locations.

- We want to keep the Indo-Pacific free and open, preserving freedom of navigation in all crucial sea lanes.

- We want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of Europe, while restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity.

- We want to prevent an adversarial power from dominating the Middle East, its oil and gas supplies, and the chokepoints through which they pass.

- The United States will unapologetically protect our own sovereignty. This includes preventing its erosion by transnational and international organizations, attempts by foreign powers or entities.

- The United States cannot allow any nation to become so dominant that it could threaten our interests.

- The United States will insist on being treated fairly by other countries. We will no longer tolerate, and can no longer afford, free-riding, trade imbalances.

- The era of mass migration is over.

- The days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over. We count among our many allies and partners dozens of wealthy, sophisticated nations that must assume primary responsibility for their regions and contribute far more to our collective defense.

- The United States will prioritize rebalancing our trade relations, reducing trade deficits, opposing barriers to our exports.

- The United States will secure key supply chains and rare earth materials.

- Restoring American energy dominance.
