U.S. Flips History by Casting Europe—Not Russia—as Villain in New Security Policy: An annual strategy document, which has described threats from China to Russia, now directs some of its harshest language at NATO allies
U.S. Flips History by Casting Europe—Not Russia—as Villain in New Security Policy: An annual strategy document, which has described threats from China to Russia, now directs some of its harshest language at NATO allies
* For years, the U.S. government has published an annual National Security Strategy that lays out how Washington sees the world and its approach to dealing with looming threats, from China to Russia to drug-traffickers in Latin America.
* This week, the Trump administration’s version seemed to reserve its harshest tone for a new target: America’s closest allies in Europe.
* The 30-page document painted European nations as wayward, declining powers that have ceded their sovereignty to the European Union and are led by governments that suppress democracy and muzzle voices that want a more nationalistic turn.
* It says the continent faces “civilizational erasure” through immigration that could render it “unrecognizable” in two decades—as well as turning several North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies into majority “non-European” countries. It concludes the region could grow too weak to be “reliable allies.”
* The document underscores how radically the Trump administration is reshaping traditional American foreign policy, and it is likely to deepen divisions in the trans-Atlantic alliance, which has largely kept the peace in Europe since World War II and promoted Western values across the world.
* The document landed like a bucket of cold water in European capitals. European leaders reading the document need “to assume that the traditional trans-Atlantic relationship is dead,” said Katja Bego, a senior researcher at Chatham House, a think tank in London.

Does Putin at least have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around?

The fact that China is still the most mentioned party in that document makes it certain that Trump’s controlled by Putin, not Xi.

The more actual action this president takes the more I shake my head at how ANYONE could think he is good for America.

Even if you think the EU needs to do more on defense the Atlantic trade is and has been the world’s largest bilateral economic relationship and a humongous success for the US, this is just plain stupid.

I guess we all now know what Stephen Miller has been working on. It reads like his diary, full of his great replacement bullshit.
The reason Stephen Miller cares about people of color is that he is only capable of looking at himself in the mirror if he knows he’s better than someone else…but he can’t be, because he’s an empty suit propped up on narcissistic injury. There are people whose ancestors were property, whose grandparents were sharecroppers, whose parents couldn’t sit at a lunch counter, and they’ve achieved incredible things. Miller, with all his advantages, is nothing and nobody to anyone but himself.
It’s galling how genuinely pathetic these bastards are. From the lowest of them to the highest of them, the one thing they all have in common is a rat-like narcissism that will gnaw through your midsection for the vague hint of cheese behind you.

The whole document is quite insane, but at least there’s a good summary in one spot actually:
“The choice all countries should face is whether they want to live in an American-led world of sovereign countries and free economies or in a parallel one in which they are influenced by countries on the other side of the world.”
DONE ~ I choose Europe, Commonwealth, free democracies that aren’t murderous banana republics led by a pedophile dictactor who murders fishermen for sport and political theatre while believing the world should revolve around him and his worldview only.
Canada is going to need good friends but the literal American security “policy” of what amounts to treating your neighboring states as not much more than dishrags to be controlled leaves little doubt that partnering with alternatives and continuing to diversify is actually the only smart move.

i am not sure how a reasonable person can see the actions taken by trump and co and not concluded that he is a russian asset… no support to ukraine since he has been in office, attacking the ukrainian gov to surrender than putting pressure on the russians to stop the invasion, the supposed peace deal that russia gave to the trump admin then to pass it off as their own, and that is just the recent stuff and now this. i am concerned that if ww3 breaks out we are taking the side of the russians and not europe.

Trump and the republicans have lost it completely. Utterly.
Screw them.
Vote. Vote in every election
Prosecute them. War Crimes. Sex Crimes. Insider Trading. Foreign Assets. If they are charge-able, prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Trump may be difficult to get at thanks to SCOTUS, but his cabinet and the Congress are not. They are regular citizens subject to the laws we are subject to. Charge them. Prosecute them.

Trump badly wants to be seen as Putins best bud.
