LONDON – Are you watching this, today? Does Brexit have your attention? If you’re reading this in Defense One, you’re likely a national security professional of some kind, or at least a fanboy or fangirl of foreign policy. And if you’re scared by the Brexit vote and Trump’s parallel middle-finger message to the world, then it’s time you stop blaming the masses who support them and start blaming yourself.
Here’s a suggestion for you. Read on, and learn why Americans and Britons are feeling so disconnected from your sage national security advice. Then close this page and start talking to your neighbors, your family, your friends about what you do and why it’s important — and why the policies you want will make America great again. Because that’s what Donald Trump is doing. He’s including them. And you’re not. Not well enough, at least.
In London in April, nearly every security leader at the Aspen Security Forum: Global event opposed leaving the European Union, and all but dismissed the prospect. Why would Great Britain give up a seat at the global intelligence and security table and start over on its own? A vote for Brexit would cut off one’s nose to spite one’s face. (The nose being integrated law enforcement, intelligence, and military security operations.)
Sound familiar? In the United States, nearly every serious national security leader in Washington is against a Commander in Chief Donald Trump.

They’ll be recoiling for the next 2 years over this.
This is because nearly every national security leader in Washington has no interest in national security.
Federal government is all about spending money. Reward your friends, punish your (domestic) enemies. Get the money, get the benefits, prepare for a glorious retirement. National Security?? How boring is that?
But Trump -- Trump actually cares.
And the elites think that he will ruin the whole game. Because he will.
Btw, the first paragraph is an embarrassingly obvious plug for their website. Not slick.
How credible is that statement when the alternative is CINC Hellary? I'm not buying it.
Because HEXIT is next.
“This is because nearly every national security leader in Washington has no interest in national security”
Thank you, someone gets it.
“nearly every serious national security leader in Washington”
...are part of this ‘administration’ or the uniparty
Seems to me this guy is saying that the elites just aren’t explaining why their policies are so great, and that is why the rubes aren’t voting for them. They still don’t get it, especially this guy. The long quote from Max Boot was embarassingly wrong on what Trump believes, it was a Cruz or Hillary caricature.
Self important idjit who knows what is best for everyone else, and is convinced we all go through the decision tree, like he has, well then everyone would of course agree with him
Because it’s less about National Security and more about Elite Security.
Because the cabal of international communists (globalists) that have been grinding us toward Animal Farm and 1984 for decades is aghast that the sheeple do not follow their nonstop bombardment of agitprop and guidance from the 5 global companies that make up the entire corporate media infrastructure. This is not a conspiracy, they have been quite clear on their desire for a global government of technocrats running everything going back to the early 20th century. This is why they also continue to screech that we are going to die from a barely measurable average temperature deviation of +/- 1 degree Celsius over the last few decades. Global warming was their state of fear tactic to drive us into a unsolvable problem that allowed them to set up a global tax system that would institutionalize their dream of the global government. And finally, these oligarchical elites just can’t stand that their window is closing and all of their desires are imploding. They have been obsoleted and don’t yet grasp how it was even done.
“In the United States, nearly every serious national security leader in Washington is against a Commander in Chief Donald Trump.”
Translation: Nearly every serious national security leader in Washinton has been corrupted or replaced by the Obama regime.
They are interested in destroying America, not defending it.
Short and to the point yet so difficult for the masses to understand...........
This administration has been clueless from top to bottom since day 1.
From: Donald J Trump
David,
Last night UK voters shocked the world.
I’m sure you saw the news, David. Voters in the United Kingdom chose to leave the flawed and failing European Union and reassert control over their borders, politics and economy, taking a brave stand for freedom and independence. It’s been dubbed “Brexit” in the media.
These voters stood up for their nation – they put the United Kingdom first, and they took their country back.
With your help, we’re going to do the exact same thing on Election Day 2016 here in the United States of America.
I am fighting to upend the failed Big Government status quo in Washington, so that Americans can start believing in the future of our country again. And if elected President of the United States, I will strengthen our ties with a free and independent Britain.
Will you stand with me at this critical time?
Yesterday UK voters exercised their right to self-determination for all the world to see. And today, our friends across the Atlantic are looking forward to a return to greater freedom and a better future for their children and grandchildren.
Voters here face the same choice on Election Day.
David, the political elites didn’t see this coming. Wall Street and the media didn’t have a clue. And they want to believe just as badly that we cannot win in November.
Let’s send another shockwave around the world. Let’s take back our country from the corrupt career politicians and put Americans first. Let’s re-declare our independence.
Please stand with me today to reclaim freedom from the corrupt Washington establishment and Make America Great Again.
Thank you.
Best Wishes,
Donald J. Trump
Candidate for President of the United States
“This is because nearly every national security leader in Washington has no interest in national security.”
to add to your comment: Trump’s support, by my estimation is based on the following:
65% - Immigration (legal and illegal)
25% - Trade Deals
10% - Isolationism (i.e., military disengagement)
In other words VERY LITTLE of Trump’s support has to do with us pulling out of Korea or Japan. The reason why Trump will be the nominee is Immigration and Trade Deals...I think most of us don’t care all that much about his Korea and Japan policies.
To put it another way, if the GOPe HAD LISTENED TO US, and ran a ‘mainstream’ candidate with CREDIBILITY on Immigration and Trade Deals, along with opposing Obama on both - Trump would have been LAUGHED OFF THE STAGE by July of last year.
...but they insisted on pushing another Romney, so it is THEIR FAULT that we have Trump now.
I am re-reading “Atlas Shrugged” right now.
It is a good time to do so.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"
All these "elites" have their careers invested in the current hierarchy.
