19FortyFive

19FortyFive is a privately owned U.S. defense and national security outlet founded in 2020 by John S. Gardner, rated right-center by independent media analysts despite its own nonpartisan self-label. It publishes a broad roster of contributors—mainly former military officers, defense analysts, and ex-officials—but tilts toward conservative foreign-policy perspectives. Coverage of the Trump administration's second term is mixed, combining hawkish support for U.S. military strength with pointed criticism of specific policy choices seen as strategically risky.
