USSECDEF Pete Hellsbreath issued a secret memo outlining US military priorities which comes straight from the conservative Heritage Foundation, including some passages that are nearly word-for-word duplications of text published by the think tank in 2024. The memo outlines Trumpf's vision to prepare for and win a potential war against Beijing and defend the US from threats in the "near abroad," which may include Greenland and the Panama Canal. Iran is mentioned several times as a powerful adversary. The author of the Heritage Foundation blueprint now works at the Pentagon. Archived: archive.ph
