The new US National Security Strategy, in its predictable and characteristic ugliness, is a good occasion for Europe to finally let go of the time-consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and start focusing on a proper and proactive own strategy instead.
Europe Needs A New Strategy Too
The new US National Security Strategy helps - or forces - European leaders to let go of the consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and to focus on an own strategy instead.

Our microwave died, so my husband bought a new one that has a built-in air fryer, and now he is trying out air frying things with the glee of a child who has a new toy.
Look, it can air fry tater tots! French toast sticks for Squidling! A grilled cheese sandwich!
I'm still kind of afraid of it. 😅

Bart De Wever’s remarks on frozen Russian assets are a fascinating case study in how intimidation narratives enter Western political speech.
But can we walk through his claims point-by-point — and compare them to history, law, and observable facts?
Yes, we can.

I for one welcome this new U.S. strategy. At least it will now be impossible for people to ignore what a lot of us have known to be true for a long time:
- There is no "keeping the Americans in". They are out.
- The Trump Regime fucking hate Europe.
- They will ACTIVELY SUBVERT US to DOMINATE US.

Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

From the new and quietly released U.S. Security Strategy. They don't like our liberal ways, and will "cultivate resistance within European nations".
Let me translate that for you. Support
- AfD in Germany
- Rassemblement National in France
- Reform in the UK
So, "make Europe Nazi again"...
Fuck.

No way we should despair - because the US will cultivate resistance withing Europe - to change our current trajectory.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone.

The Irish Navy had a ship present, but 'made the decision not to shoot down the drones', though the article also notes it the vessel did not have the capacity to disable the drones.
A huge reminder that Irish neutrality does not protect it from hybrid attacks.
