The Wreck-It Policy: The 2025 NSS Confirms the Framework
By Carlos J. Pérez Pulido · ISHEA Institute ·
The 2025 U.S. National Security Strategy explicitly validates the Wreck-It Policy framework. What was read as an analyst's hypothesis now appears, on the record, as official doctrine.
Note — Short piece published openly. Thinking in progress, not a result.
The "Wreck-It Policy": The 2025 NSS Confirms It
This is not speculation. The official U.S. National Security Strategy explicitly validates this framework.**
📄 [Official Document](https://lnkd.in/g7584bgw)
The United States is no longer trying to persuade, reform, or negotiate with certain regimes. It is **neutralizing them through induced systemic breakdown.**
The 2025 NSS proves it—in writing.
🔑 What the NSS explicitly confirms
1️⃣ The "Trump Corollary" to Monroe Doctrine
NSS, page 15:
> "We will assert and enforce a 'Trump Corollary' to the Monroe Doctrine... to deny non-Hemispheric competitors the ability to position forces or own strategically vital assets in our Hemisphere."*
**This is official doctrine.**
2️⃣ Targeting outlaw structures, not nations
NSS, page 16:
> *"Enlist regional champions to **neutralize cartels**, stop illegal migration, and **wind down adversarial outside influence** from control of military installations, ports, and key infrastructure."*
*Goal:*Eliminate criminal networks and foreign influence, not destroy countries.
3️⃣ Forcing strategic autonomy: "Burden-Shifting"**
NSS, page 12:
> Burden-Sharing and Burden-Shifting– The days of the United States propping up the entire world order are over. **Allies must assume primary responsibility for their regions.**"*
Examples:
- NATO: 5% GDP defense spending
- Hemisphere: Regional partners "neutralize cartels" (p.16)
- Asia: "Allies must step up and do much more" (p.24)
*Message:*"We provide capabilities, you assume responsibility."
4️⃣ Hemispheric security comes FIRST**
The NSS lists regional priorities in order (p.5, 15):
#1 Western Hemisphere – before Asia, Europe, Middle East
> *"The Western Hemisphere must remain **free of hostile foreign incursion**... This is a **condition of our security and prosperity.**"*
*Why?* Secure the backyard before global competition with China/Russia.
5️⃣ Authorization of lethal force
NSS, page 16:
> *"Targeted deployments **including where necessary the use of lethal force** to defeat cartels."
This moves beyond sanctions to **kinetic operations**.
6️⃣ The global pattern**
Burden-shifting applies worldwide:
- **Europe:** "Take primary responsibility for defense" (p.26)
- **Middle East:** "Days of dominating U.S. policy are over" (p.27)
- **Africa:** "Transition from aid to investment" (p.29)
📌 The grand strategy
**Core thesis (pp. 5, 12, 15):**
> *"Secure hemisphere from adversarial influence + force allied autonomy = resource concentration for China/Russia competition."*
Not elegant. Not humanitarian. *But now official U.S. policy.**
📄 **Key sections:** pp.15-18 (Hemisphere), p.12 (Burden-Shifting), pp.19-24 (Asia)

What if the variables we use to measure national success were completely backwards?
For decades, progress has been measured through GDP, productivity, growth and energy use. This piece argues those variables may be inverted and asks us to rethink what it means for a country to thrive.

Why do highly engineered systems fail just when technology is most advanced?
In Oil & Gas and other complex operations, more technology does not guarantee better decisions: this piece examines systemic capacity, how much a system can absorb and turn into action under pressure.
