    He can “cultivate” in his backjard. Don’t need his poisonous ideologies in Europe

    I’d like to think that this will unite Europeans to make the changes they need (capital markets union, more joint decision making for efficient defence), but plenty of politicians, media and other actors will be all too happy to sow division, chaos and weakness in Europe to make a quick buck off the backs of their country’s population and general ignorance, all the while claiming to be the “true patriots”. Not helped by all the Americans who control the algororithms of social media, and therefore peoples’ minds now.

  3. Trump’s America have made it quite clear they were attempting to aid and promote for a while now far-right parties. It’s a bit like the attitude Nazi Germany had towards the Nordics ideologically.

    There’s been a few threads about American troops leaving Europe, and if there was some people who said “good”, but with time to think of it, the problem is that even they completely exit NATO, they’re still going to try to meddle in internal politics.

    The irony of citing “sovereignty” when it’s a plan to shape Europe according to their own insanity. Hopefully the internal and economic cracks already showing across the Atlantic will prevent Trump and his cronies from continuing this project.

    lol. US being the world cop is just so cliché. IMO, ‘National Security Strategy’ is just a fancy way of poking nose into other’s business.

  5. FT article

    >A new US national security strategy is calling for “cultivating resistance” in Europe, warning that the continent is subverting democracy, blocking peace in Ukraine and facing “civilisational erasure” from high migration and falling birth rates.

    > The document blames European officials for thwarting US efforts to end the war in Ukraine, accusing governments of ignoring what it claims is a “large European majority” that wants peace.

    > An “expeditious cessation of hostilities” is essential “to stabilise European economies, prevent unintended escalation or expansion of the war, and reestablish strategic stability with Russia”, according to the document, which was published on Friday.

    > Its release comes as US President Donald Trump makes a renewed push to end the war in Ukraine.

    > The effort has sparked fears in European capitals that Washington is prepared to force Kyiv to make concessions on several of its long-standing red lines.

    > The 33-page document underscores the radical reorientation of US foreign policy under Trump, elevating American dominance of the western hemisphere in an updated version of the Monroe Doctrine as its primary objective.

    > “The days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over,” it says.

    > It also highlights the ideological gulf that has opened up between Washington and its traditional allies, depicting a European continent where “economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilisational erasure”.

    > In a direct challenge to the EU, it says America should be “cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations”. It also lauds the growing political influence of Eurosceptic far-right parties, whose rise to power in EU capitals could threaten the bloc’s future.

    > “American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history,” the strategy says.

    > “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.”

    > The strategy has strong echoes of a speech US vice-president JD Vance delivered to the Munich Security Forum in February, which stunned European allies for its adversarial tone and its claim that Europe faced a greater threat from its own democratic failings than from Russian aggression.

    > The US will pursue a policy of “burden-shifting”, according to the document, with the aim of making Europe “stand on its own feet and operate as a group of aligned sovereign nations, including by taking primary responsibility for its own defence”.

    > It calls for a “readjustment of our global military presence to address urgent threats in our Hemisphere, especially the missions identified in this strategy, and away from theaters whose relative import to American national security has declined in recent decades or years”.

    > The release of the national security strategy will be followed next year by the US defence posture review that will shift US military assets to meet new foreign policy priorities.

    > The security strategy largely addresses China as an economic challenge, saying Washington will “rebalance America’s economic relationship with China, prioritising reciprocity and fairness to restore American economic independence”.

    > But it adds that “this must be accompanied by a robust and ongoing focus on deterrence to prevent war in the Indo-Pacific”.

    > It says that “this combined approach can become a virtuous cycle as strong American deterrence opens up space for more disciplined economic action, while more disciplined economic action leads to greater American resources to sustain deterrence in the long term”.

    Because paywall and we’re poor now.

    Has anything good come from trumps America? For anyone other than Trump of course.

  7. goldstarflag on

    So this new Security Strategy doesn’t mention China, Russia or anything else except their *own hemisphere* and *Europe*. Very telling.

  8. 50_61S-----165_97E on

    So the far right populist parties that are infecting Europe will now be supported by Russia *and* USA? Well that’s a curveball I didn’t see coming

  9. No_Conversation_9325 on

    Im cultivating resistance against the bs US is spreading just fine.

  10. Tushkiit on

    So basically Russia’s security strategy? In this case, to likely benefit the billionaires.

  11. Bladiers on

    It’s interesting that the strategy specifically focuses on “cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory” in addition to “celebrating European nations’ individual character” and “growing influence of patriotic European parties”. These are all direct quotes.

    The US is terrified of the the prospect of European integration, because that means they would have to see us as peers. What they want is a fragmented and subservient block of nations. This was always suspected but had never been spelled out clearly, now it absolutely is.

    Wake up Europe, we either unite and thrive or we will be divided and conquered.

  12. Massimo25ore on

    Interferences, hidden and not so hidden, in other countries and continents, something never changes.

    And a few European politicians are actively collaborating to bring those poisonous ideologies to the old continent…

  13. How about we gonna do some cultivating of our own own in the US, trash country

  14. VonBombadier on

    So the same strategy that Russia and China execute, that gas rendered us unable to take any real steps to retaliate because it only takes a couple of EU states to hold everybody up?

    Good choice, proven to work.

  15. mangecoeur on

    > “predominantly non-European”

    By which they clearly imply “non white”. The 2020s are looking increasingly like the 1920s.

  16. ScepticalEconomist on

    It’s time like this that I feel EU should reevaluate its alliances.

    China is someone you should at least try to engage with.

    Before you go and downvote and all the China bad stuff… China has been the least imperialist between Russia US China.

    I know its a superpower with own ambitions and not necessarily our friend but honestly I would take Xi’s words more than Trump or Vance’s any day.

  17. yohowdoyoudo on

    How it makes you feel as a European that America sees Israel as its closest ally and doesnt really care about Europe, some dont even have friendly relations to Europe?

  18. GrandAdmiralSnackbar on

    At what point do we decide to eliminate all major sources of foreign influence by banning all major foreign platforms they (ab)use like Youtube and Tiktok?

  19. goldstarflag on

    In response the EU should support the independence movements in California and New York.

    Democratic and civilised eu is very dangerous for this authoritarian USA regime.

    Both economically and for rulling class (in this case, strange mix of billionaries and caucasian religious fundamentalists).

    When regular people living under authoritarianism see things can be done different, they trend to kick out the bullshiters from power. Thats why there are and will continue to be similar attacks on the rest of normal democracies, like Canada.

    So of course they will try to break EU up. Having 30 smallish vasal states is almost infinently easier to control and exploit.

    Strategy is actually very good, copies what Russians did with great succes in UK, with now infamous Brexit.

    Unfortunately, don’t see too many ways for EU to fight this, especially because it’s actually a fight against three big authoritarian regimes and their propaganda is extremely easy to spread here; they control all of modern media.

    Unless americans get tired of authoritarianism soon, Im afraid we will all have to go through decades of it.

  21. TheoremaEgregium on

    The Overton Window just needs to shift a liiittle bit more and we’ll discuss the pros and cons of “regime change” in Europe.

  22. reactionstack on

    The curve ball neither will see, is that there will be a nation of europeans who identify as europeans while still respecting their roots and history, and each others’. The worst outcome for both of these oligarchian states is that europe remains better than them.

    ”We” are doing it very well already ourselves, sadly…! —thank you very much! 🥸🔨🔨🔨

    Soldiers of America: Desert! The only way America won’t be seen as the traitors their political leaders are, is if all military personal stops following them, desert! Lay down your weapons and find a job in the private sector! When JD looks at Europeean countries, he sees a succes-story that makes America look like a hellhole. Instead of fixing his own country, he tries to bring true democracies down to their level. And their level is deteriating to Russia’s level of democracy now. The shining city on the hill is dimming the lights, but still wants to be seen as the best country on earth. The whole world knows, this was never the case, and America should aspire to rise to European high standards of living/democracy, instead of bringing European countries down to their (and Russia’s) level.

    We got a good system in Europe, it’s the highest standard of living, no wonder people from all over the world want to live here. When USA used to be the shining city on the hill, people wanted to come there too.

    Internet shows people where the grass is greenest in the world, and lays bare all the problems in their own nations. America is NOT, was NOT and maybe never will be “the best country in the world”. You should aspire greatness, not lower yourselves to a standard as low as Russia and bring other places along with you!
