Now we just threaten and give orders.

America is out of the business of giving patronizing lectures to other governments about how to run their countries and trying to mold other societies in its own image… except for the countries of Western Europe.
With little fanfare, the Trump administration released its long-awaited National Security Strategy Thursday night. The NSS is a periodically released document that lays out a presidential administration’s foreign policy priorities. The release of the 2025 document has been the subject of some confusion and curiosity in Washington. It was reportedly completed over the summer, but its release has been held up for months, with various officials pushing for amendments.

The most noteworthy section of the document concerns Europe, where the administration sees the risk of “civilizational erasure”:
The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.
Europe, the document continues, will be “unrecognizable in 20 years” if present trends continue. And the document contains what is effectively an endorsement of European far-right parties: “America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism.” It also calls for “cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations.”
The strategy picks up on the themes laid out by Vice President JD Vance at the Munich Security Conference in May, which caused a full-fledged freakout in European capitals. There’s room for debate about Europe’s migration policies, the impact of EU membership on national sovereignty, or about the hate speech laws on the continent.

Western Europe is where the aggressive, globalist (Neo) marxists are now.
They are the same as the previous marxists, with the same materialist dreams of traditional cultural destruction, demoralization, and using similar propaganda - only now their soldiers are not “the working class,” but sexual deviants, Islam and 3rd world invaders.
North Korea, Soviet Union (Russia), China, Cuba, etc.
Now we just threaten and give orders.
Eurotrash.
Where are the great European leaders of yore...Winston Churchill, Charles DeGaulle, Konrad Adenauer, Willy Brandt, Lech Walesa, Vaclav Havel etc?
No surprise that a never Trump POS such as yourself would side with the EUrotrash.
