Strategic Overview - MAGA and A New Global Epoch? - February 16, 2026

In this Promethean PAC Monday Night strategic overview (Feb. 16), host Mike Steger discusses the Munich Security Conference and argues that Marco Rubio delivered a profound, “revolutionary” speech aimed at telling Europe the U.S. is not abandoning it while insisting that intentional policies—especially deindustrialization—were designed by transatlantic elite institutions rather than arising from “inevitable” market forces.
