"The Trump White House released a new National Security Strategy this week — the blueprint for how America sees the world, defines threats, deals with allies, & positions its military.
Except this one doesn’t sound American.
It doesn’t even sound like MAGA.
It sounded EXACTLY like Moscow & it IS"

BREAKING: Trump Did It Again? The Kremlin Wrote Trump's NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY/EU-Canada Breakup Letter
The most pro-Russia document ever issued by the U.S. government comes directly from Russia...and yes, it even calls Canada a "vassal" state.

I am ratcheting down my social media, but let me just say that all European leaders except on the far Right should note that the U.S. now seeks regime change in their country; basically seeks to depose them. US strategy is to support the political forces that threaten liberal democracy in Europe.

The DOJ's No. 2 official suggested that lawyers might have a harder time winning lenient treatment for corporate clients if they've publicly accused the Trump administration of being lax on white-collar crime.

The United States is now not only pro-Russia, it is also taking a stand against Europe, and has a clear objective to meddle in European affairs. The U.S. will support European patriotic parties (pro-Russia fascists). The U.S. with its current regime is an enemy of a free Europe.

The Trump National Security Strategy is bonkers in many ways but this objective stood out:
"Cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations"
Making their strategy of supporting radical right and extremist parties explicit.
