Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented that the changes in U. S. strategy reflect Russia’s perspective. He noted that the U. S. commitment to prevent NATO from expanding continually was encouraging but mentioned that the U. S. “deep state” might have different views from Trump.

Trump declares ‚our hemisphere‘: Monroe Doctrine gets 21st-century makeover
Experts SAN spoke with agreed it‘s not exactly clear what the words will mean when it comes to actual policy and implementation.
„My first reaction is that this is kind of like a Truth Social post,“ Sexton said. „It‘s a lot of bluster and bombast. It‘s an administration that really likes to invoke national symbols.“
Sexton acknowledged that this could be the signal of something real to come. The U.S. continues its military buildup in the Caribbean following the bombing of alleged drug boats and threats from Trump of military action in Venezuela.
Trump strategy document revives Monroe Doctrine, slams Europe
(December 5, 2025)
The National Security Strategy, released overnight, described Trump‘s vision as one of „flexible realism“ and argued that the U.S. should revive the 19th century Monroe Doctrine, which declared the Western Hemisphere to be Washington‘s zone of influence. It also warned that Europe faces „civilizational erasure“ and must change course.
Absolutely one of the best things about her: Those close to Harris describe her as a “Truman Democrat,” a nod to her willingness to use American power to promote American values and interests.

Truman-Doktrin
Auch das US-amerikanische Engagement im Koreakrieg und der Marshallplan wurden mit den Argumenten der Truman-Doktrin begründet. Durch die Truman-Doktrin wurde der außenpolitische Aspekt der Monroe-Doktrin endgültig abgelöst. Sie bildet auch die Rechtfertigung für die Intervention der USA in innere Konflikte anderer Nationen, etwa im Griechischen Bürgerkrieg, im Koreakrieg oder in Vietnam. Die „Eindämmung“ des kommunistischen Machtbereichs zugunsten der „freien Welt“ weist den USA faktisch die Rolle einer globalen Ordnungsmacht zu – im Gegensatz zur in der Zwischenkriegszeit herrschenden Politik des Isolationismus.
Dieser Anspruch der USA als globale Ordnungsmacht spielt auch nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges im „Krieg gegen den Terror“ noch eine große Rolle.

Cut These Words: Passion and International Law of War Scholarship
(12.11.2019)
First, and perhaps the most fascinating mystery, is the near-total erasure of the Vietnam era,
and its vociferous doctrinal and policy debates, from the War on Terror international legal debate. The more one reads, the stranger it becomes—particularly once the invasion of Cambodia becomes publicly known in 1970, and the U.S. Department of State justifies the intervention in international legal terms. The doctrinal debate is eerily similar to those underlying key controversies between 2009 and 2018. The underlying law is, in many respects, largely the same. The contours of the international legal questions and their purported implications for the future disclose remarkable similarities. And yet, with the exception of that single footnote in the Al Aulaqi memorandum, there is almost no reference to the raging scholarly discourse that occurred barely two generations earlier. This would perhaps be understandable if I had gone deep into the national archives of, say, Bangladesh, and had found obscure texts that had never been published in English, or had never been made available in libraries or on the internet. But we are talking more or less about similar substantive debates occurring in similar journals by scholars contending with the same government offices. And it all just disappeared. Why?7
