When America Shines, it's FREEDOM lights up the world. Why America’s Enemies Want Us Fighting Each Other.

“When America is united, there is no greater country on the planet.”

That’s not a slogan. It’s a strategic reality.

America’s greatest “secret weapon” has never been our geography, our GDP, or our military hardware. It’s been our ability—when it matters—to pull together across differences, organize at scale, and out-produce, out-innovate, and outlast anybody who threatens us.

And that’s exactly why division is so valuable to our adversaries.

Division is a force multiplier—for the other side

When Americans are at each other’s throats, three things happen:

1. We lose trust (in institutions, media, each other).

2. We lose focus (we fight internal battles instead of solving external threats).

3. We lose time (and time is the most expensive currency in national security).

George Washington warned about this from the beginning—political factionalism and foreign interference feeding off each other, turning the public against itself and weakening the republic from the inside. (Constitution Center)

That isn’t ancient history. It’s a timeless playbook.

The classic strategy: weaken the target before you confront it

Here’s the truth: no serious competitor wants a united United States.

A united America:

• Builds faster

• Mobilizes faster

• Innovates faster

• Hits back harder

• Deterrs aggression without firing a shot

But a divided America? That’s a distracted America—easier to manipulate, easier to outmaneuver, and easier to defeat economically, culturally, and strategically.

This is why foreign influence operations don’t need to “convince” you of one ideology. They just need to amplify anger, deepen suspicion, and keep Americans locked in a permanent internal cage match.

The U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee has held hearings and released materials describing how social media was used to spread disinformation and discord around U.S. elections. (Senate Select Committee on Intelligence)Academic research has also examined foreign troll activity and its goal of increasing political divisions. (PNAS)

You don’t have to agree on every policy point to see the pattern: if Americans are fighting Americans, America isn’t fully facing outward.

What unity looks like when it’s real

History gives us a blunt example: America after Pearl Harbor.

The country rapidly mobilized people and industry, becoming what was famously called an “arsenal of democracy.” The scale of U.S. wartime mobilization is still studied as a benchmark for national production and coordination under pressure. (nationalww2museum.org)

Another example: after September 11, the NATO alliance invoked Article 5 (collective defense) for the first—and still only—time in its history, in response to an attack on the United States. That moment signaled international unity behind America when America was hit. (NATO)

Whether you’re talking war, economics, disaster response, or technological competition—unity increases national power.

Unity does not mean uniformity

Let’s be clear: unity is not “everyone thinks the same.”

Unity means:

• We argue policy without treating fellow citizens as enemies

• We share a baseline of facts and civic values

• We refuse to let outsiders use our disagreements as weapons

• We can disagree internally and still lock arms on national interests

Washington didn’t say “never disagree.” He warned against factionalism that becomes a tool—where passion replaces reason and the public good gets traded for partisan victory. (Constitution Center)

The “internal fight” is the battlefield now

In 2026, the battlefield isn’t just tanks and missiles. It’s:

• Information

• Attention

• Trust

• Morale

• Cultural confidence

• Economic stability

If you can fracture a country internally, you can weaken it externally without declaring war.

And that’s the point: when the U.S. fights internally, our competitors win—cheaply.

What we do about it (practical, not cheesy)

Here are five actions that rebuild unity without pretending we’re all the same:

1. Stop rewarding outrageIf a headline is designed to make you hate your neighbor, it’s probably designed to control you.

2. Treat “viral” as suspiciousViral content is often engineered for emotion, not truth. Slow down. Verify. Share less.

3. Re-learn civic basicsA citizen who understands the Constitution, separation of powers, and federalism is harder to manipulate.

4. Build local relationshipsReal community is the antidote to online division. Talk to people in person.

5. Aim disagreements upward, not sidewaysHold leaders accountable, debate policy hard—but don’t dehumanize fellow Americans.

The closing truth

America united is a problem for every hostile power on earth.

That’s why they want us divided.

Not because they love one party or another—because they love the result: a weakened America that can’t focus, can’t trust, can’t build, and can’t lead.

So here’s the challenge: disagree if you must—but don’t be used.

Because when we unite and face outward, very few nations—maybe none—can match what the United States becomes.

And that’s exactly why unity is the target.

When America shines; its FREEDOM lights up the world.
