It is appaling and ridiculous that we do not have any national security documents. How are we supposed lay out who is enemy and what steps to be taken.
Coming from a country which surrounded by enemies.

just because there is no public document in place, doesn't mean there is no strategy in place. after all we are seeing so much movement in terms of infra, acquisition, institutionalisation etc.

for the sake of playing devil's advocate consider this, the timeline of emergence of chinese virus coincides with trump administration publicly declaring chini economy is a strategic threat to U.S. internal institutions may get a direction because of document, the adversary also gets to plan a counter strategy.

that being said, i am in favour of having a public document on national security assessment. i don't think national security action points document is public is any country.

Aman Ki tamasha happened because Government of the day didn't object to it, a public national security document is also released by government of the day. Government of the day is at the centre of both.
