“peace through strength” harkens back to Pres. Reagan’s “peace through strength ‘80s program to counter Communism and end the Soviet Union.

By raising defense & tech spending,’Pres. Reagan put the Soviet Union into a defense and economic battle that they could not keep up with. Gorbachev realized this and began glastnov and perestroika.

This combined with West German “ostpolitik” normalization or warming-up relations with Communist-bloc Europe led to the downfall of the Iron Curtain, the end of the Cold War.

2025 “peace through strength” ends wokeness in the military and preps them for the mission of “the precipice” and taking out the worst of the political, economic and health sector bad actors.
