The American Crusade: Pete Hegseth and the Polish Analogies

This text analyzes the political thought of Pete Hegseth, who defines the "American Crusade" as an uncompromising struggle to restore the foundations of Americanism. The author deconstructs contemporary threats to sovereignty, such as globalism and radical environmentalism, contrasting them with a vision of a constitutional republic based on divinely given rights. A key element of the argument is the search for analogies between the American quest for freedom and the Polish historical legacy—from John III Sobieski's victory in Vienna to the Solidarity movement. This is a study of the defense of Western civilization against ideological dilution, in which the border wall and national identity become key bulwarks of security.
