If we can't even identify our enemies then how can we fight them?

Trump's National Security Strategy is the longest suicide note in American history

The Atlantic

The Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy targets liberal democracy itself.

@anneapplebaum This is what happens when profoundly, proudly ignorant people are elevated to positions of power.

I don’t think anyone in this administration has any idea of the ramifications of their actions.

Or maybe they do but they just don’t care.

Either one is horrifying.

Brilliant article from Applebaum as always of course.
It begs the question how long has Russia been planning and enacting its own Project 2025 to bring down America ? And with it European democracy.

And in order to do so, they have been working in tandem with operators in USA (Miller Bannon Wittkof et al) and in Europe (Orban AdF Kickl+FPÖ Meloni Farage et al) and i suspect corrupt Middle Eastern characters with big money in Saudi and UAE.

Begs the question: is Russia paying these RW disruptors off somehow? Or does Russia have MAJOR dirt on them ready to dish?

Europe is looking very diminished, scared and powerless these days

The Global Engagement Center was raising awareness about a 70 year Russian disinformation campaign targeting public health.

For every disease we have vaccines for, we try to maintain herd immunity, making the susceptible population for most preventable diseases effectively zero, with one notable exception.

There is only one threat befitting the scale of what they're doing.

How will Vermont healthcare workers get vaccinated for smallpox?

In a landscape of shifting risk, will Vermont act to protect healthcare workers?

Your right about everything. With one possible exception, they don't misunderstand . This is a declaration of cooperation between Alexander Durgin's political world views and those of Stephen Miller/Steve Bannon. This isn't my opinion, it's been reported on already.

Those 4 European nations called out for deunionizing from the EU? Bannon and Epstein have been collaborating with fascists in each of them going back to at least 2017.

Dinner with Mr Brexit: Bannon’s European Revolution – Planned with Farage, Backed by Epstein

Nigel Farage was the figurehead and his partner Laure Ferrari started it. Steve Bannon and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were providing almost daily support
