The Monroe Doctrine stated that colonialism or European acts of interference in the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as a threat to the U.S.

The NSS just crudely declares that the U.S. itself will interfere in the Western Hemisphere to murder people and topple regimes and do whatever we want here

Russia and Qatar are autocracies who suck.

They also work hard to entice visitors.

The U.S. is a backsliding democracy helmed by kleptocrats and bigots.

We are working less so to entice visitors, or treat them well.

For ‘26 I have a very legitimate worry that the hyped up deportation regime built on a chaotic and unaccountable bureaucracy, will in some way end up abusing our visitors. I can imagine someone getting caught up in a DHS raid or snatched by ICE for idk, posting something the administration dislikes.

As someone who was in Russia during the ‘18 World Cup, I remember the effort Russia went through to entice visitors. They got rid of visa requirements for attendees and then, when the tournament was over, they extended that to entice them to stay longer.

Non intervention, that’s great. Now let me take a big sip of coffee and read about what our national policy is toward Europe and the rise of pro-Nazi parties.

And all I have to say is that “internationalist nationalism” is not a thing and will inevitably resort to the fractures that define it rather than the binds.

And that’s not a recipe for “working together to prevent any adversary from dominating Europe.”
