What is Strategic Wisdom?
In an era of shifting alliances and persistent global conflict, understanding the "why" behind statecraft is no longer an academic exercise—it's essential. Welcome to Strategic Wisdom, a blog dedicated to the serious analysis of politics, international relations, grand strategy, and national security.
We cut through the noise of the 24-hour news cycle to provide sober, analytical commentary on the critical issues shaping the United States and our world. If you are a policymaker, academic, military professional, or serious student of foreign policy and political science, you are in the right place.
What is Our Mission?
Our mission is to be an indispensable resource for foreign policy and political analysis and defense commentary. We believe that a deeper understanding of grand strategy—the calculated orchestration of national power—is the key to comprehending modern geopolitics. We explore the timeless questions of war, peace, and power to provide clarity on the challenges facing the United States and its allies today.
U.S. Politics & Governance: Sharp analysis of the American political landscape. We cover everything from congressional policy debates and election dynamics to the institutional challenges facing the nation. We examine how domestic decisions impact America's strength at home and its influence abroad.
Economics & Political Economy: Clear-eyed commentary on the economic trends that define our times. We explore monetary policy, global trade, and the concept of "geoeconomics"—the use of economic tools to achieve geopolitical goals.
Grand Strategy & Geopolitics: Exploring the long-term strategic competition between major powers. We analyze U.S. foreign policy, shifting alliances, and the geopolitical forces driving international events.
Defense & National Security: In-depth examination of warfare, military strategy, and homeland security. We provide expert analysis on counterinsurgency (COIN), defense policy, and the future of conflict.
We are committed to intellectual honesty and rigorous, evidence-based analysis. Our perspective is grounded in a pragmatic assessment of power and interests, both domestically and internationally. While we tackle complex and often contentious issues, our goal is not to advance a partisan agenda but to seek a clearer understanding of the truth. We believe in substantive debate that rises above the noise. That said, we do not aim to shy away from sharp, polemical arguments that is found on sound reason and logic.
