Emperor unclothed? Why we can’t expect ‘big change’ from the president
Something much bigger than POTUS — call it the MIC or the deep state — has de facto veto power on all matters related to national security.
Writing in the New York Times, veteran foreign correspondent Edward Wong reports that the Biden “administration’s approach to strategic priorities is surprisingly consistent with the policies of the Trump administration.”
What ought to be surprising at this juncture is Wong’s surprise.
Its source? It derives from the bizarre notion that when it comes to foreign policy, the President of the United States, commonly referred to as the “most powerful man in the world,” is a free agent who wields quasi-imperial authority. Going at least as far back as the days when Franklin Roosevelt occupied the Oval Office, this has been a staple of American politics, relentlessly promoted by the media. On the global stage, the U.S. president is an unrivaled kingpin.
Candidates for the presidency routinely play along with this conceit. If elected, they promise that Big Change will follow in short order. When Donald Trump vowed in his Inaugural Address that “This American carnage stops right here and stops right now,” his choice of vocabulary may have raised eyebrows, but the basic sentiment was supremely presidential. The nature of the carnage to which he referred was (to put it politely) hazy. But as president he was willing it to cease and so it would.
But it did not. Nor did the Big Change promised by his several immediate predecessors or by his successor occur. Especially in matters related to America’s role in the world, the status quo has proven stubbornly persistent.
In practice, the power wielded by the most powerful man in the world turns out to be quite limited. Factors at home and abroad constrain presidential freedom of action. True, POTUS flies around the world in a very big airplane and everyone stands up when he enters the room, but as a practical matter presidential authority is circumscribed.
Should there be any doubt on that score, consider the Manchin Effect: a single sitting U.S. Senator — of the president’s own party, no less — making mincemeat of the current president’s domestic agenda. And foreign capitals are filled with Manchin clones who delight in complicating, obstructing, and otherwise frustrating the will of the U.S. president.
Sometimes it’s subtle — a fist bump, say, as a way to mend fences with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Sometimes it’s overt and gratuitous: Remember the delight that Benjamin Netanyahu took in humiliating President Barack Obama during the Israeli prime minister’s appearance before Congress in 2015? It turns out to be not all that difficult to get away with scoring points at the expense of an American president.
The truth is that the press pays way, way too much to presidential promises of Big Change. Indeed, Trump himself offers the best example of overpromising. He was going to end America’s endless wars in the Middle East and “take” the oil. He was going to pull the United States out of NATO. He was going to “build a wall” and thereby solve the border security problem once and for all. None of these happened.

It’s important to recognize why he fell short in each instance — and why Biden’s efforts to change course are likewise doomed to fail. Two factors stand out, one structural and the other ideological.
The structural factor refers to the institutions whose wellbeing is dependent upon maintaining arrangements that devolved during the Cold War and survived the Cold War’s passing. Call it what you will — the Blob, the Deep State, the military-industrial-congressional complex — it exercises a de facto veto power on all matters related to basic U.S. national security policy.
Here’s an illustration of how it works in practice: A 20-year long U.S. war in Afghanistan ends in abject failure. The Congress responds the following year by increasing the size of the Pentagon budget, with large bipartisan majorities approving. In the executive suites of the MIC and in the E-Ring of the Pentagon, champagne corks pop.
The ideological factor rests on explicit or tacit claims of American Exceptionalism: That it is incumbent upon the United States to lead the world, with leadership tending in practice to become a synonym for global primacy and primacy tending to be expressed in military terms. Such expectations are wildly at odds with the emerging reality of multi-polarity and with a growing agenda of common problems such as the climate crisis to which military power is irrelevant.
Thirty years after the end of the Cold War it becomes increasingly evident that the United States has squandered the position of global dominion that was seemingly ours in 1989. That we need to do things differently is self-evidently the case. But don’t expect solutions to come from the Oval Office. The U.S. president is as much a captive of circumstance as he is an agent of Big Change.

Phillips has faced allegations of ethical misconduct and cronyism, including abusing his previous positions in government in both Mississippi and Texas for personal financial gain.[15][16] In a follow-up report by the Mississippi Legislature, they concluded that, "Mr. Phillips’s actions create the appearance of impropriety, facilitating an erosion of the public trust… [that] could constitute a violation of state ethics laws."[15]
According to The Guardian, Phillips owes the U.S. government more than $100,000 in unpaid taxes.[5][12] An investigation by the Associated Press revealed that Philipps was registered to vote in three states. Philipps responded to this investigation by saying, "Doesn't that just demonstrate how broken the system is? That is not fraud — that is a broken system. We need a national ID that travels with people."[17]
According to Kevin Lyons, spokesperson for the Texas Comptroller, Phillips is unable to do business in the state of Texas. "He's one of our revolving door kind of hustlers," said Andrew Wheat, the research director of Texans for Public Justice.[15]
According to the website Intelius, Phillips has been employed by both the Alabama and Mississippi Republican parties. He is listed as a resident of the capital city of Austin, Texas.[1]
An investigation by The Center for Investigative Reporting found that Philips and the Texas-based nonprofit organization engaged in questionable transactions that involving more than $1 million sent as grift to its founders, and a longtime romantic affair between the founder Catherine Engelbrecht and Philips.[18][16]
Philips was found to "award millions in government contracts" to his own personal businesses or associates involved, and then were "quietly shuttered years later".[15]
Jennifer Wright, chief attorney at Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich's election integrity unit, worked for Gregg Phillips at True the Vote before going to work for Brnovich. Phillips alleged his group, along with the FBI investigated the ballot harvesting in San Luis, Arizona, resulting in the arrest of former school board member Guillermina Fuentes. Records show the investigation was done in August 2020. However, AG Brnovich's office waited nearly 15 months to prosecute Fuentes. The prosecution was initiated and timed around the release of Phillips's 2000 Mules documentary which alleged widespread ballot harvesting as proof of election fraud in the 2020 election. [19] [20]

Following the Goldwater–Nichols Act in 1986 the Joint Chiefs of Staff (Milley the chairman) do not have operational command authority, neither individually nor collectively, as the chain of command goes from the president (Biden) to the secretary of defense (Austin), and from the Secretary of Defense to the commanders of the Combatant Commands.
