Susan Kokinda argues that Vice President JD Vance's Nixon Library remarks about a “deep state” targeting Nixon and Trump point to a deeper fight over U.S. foreign policy: an American tradition of ending wars versus Henry Kissinger's British “balance of power” doctrine of managing conflict.

She links Eisenhower ending Korea and stopping the 1956 Suez seizure, and William Rogers' post–Six-Day War comprehensive peace proposal, to Trump's Abraham Accords, contrasting them with Kissinger's rise after Watergate, the collapse of Rogers' plan, and renewed Middle East wars, including Lebanon's descent into civil war after Kissinger-era maneuvering.

She highlights April 14, 2026 talks involving Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors with Secretary Rubio and a June 26 trilateral framework for ending the conflict. Kokinda also cites June 23 White Sands directed-energy tests and Trump's January 2025 “Golden Dome” order as reversing Kissinger's ABM/MAD legacy and pushing U.S. industrial revival toward assured defense and lasting peace.

Promethean Action——Bio and Archives We, former collaborators of Lyndon LaRouche, many for 50 years or more, founded the Promethean Action organization in 2024, changing the name from LaRouche PAC Action. The Political Action Committee, LaRouchePAC, also changed its name, becoming Promethean PAC. Our intention is to apply the ideas of LaRouche, as we understand them, to the profound economic, political and cultural challenges now facing the United States and the world.
