An earlier version of Trump's National Security Strategy specifically said that the US should try to break up the EU, to get Italy, Austria, Hungary and Poland to leave

@anneapplebaum

the US should try to break up the EU,

Watch Starmer gov, Lammy et al, they are also more enemy than ally.

Starmer, financed by friends of Israel, surprize surprize Lammy too, both are creeping to trump and talking about the special relationship to usa.

@anneapplebaum The US is in economic competition with the EU and despite being "allies" in this new policy everything is on the table I guess to keep the US ahead.

@anneapplebaum Pretty arrogant considering the US is a fraction of the European historical scale.

@anneapplebaum I made quick check and this seems legit / trust worthy.

So, now not only Russia and China are trying to brake EU. The USA seems also joined the anti-EU club...

***

IMO we need to federalise EU.

With strong multiparty democracy, the rule of law, human rights, divicion of power and autonomy of states written in constitution.

I would never give up independent Defence forces of Finland. And if u live in Europe / Nordic neither should you.

@anneapplebaum Looks like the Russian active measures program is a spectacular success. I mean really their Manchurian candidate must be preforming beyond their wildest dreams.

Some names spring to mind when I see that list.

Franz-Ferdinand, Hitler, Mussolini.

I am not really surprised that Trump want to be a member of that list, but I doubt Poland wants anything to do with them.

@anneapplebaum Austria is the low hanging fruit here unfortunately. I mean, Hungary has already fallen, Italy is unpredictable, Poland is the hardest nut to crack in history. But in Austria EVERY party has strong ties to Russia - literally no real opposition. Greetings from Viennagrad.

@anneapplebaum Trump is a Russian asset, an agent who executes the orders he gets from the Kremlin.

If that should not raise red alerts at all levels… what else will…

Straight from the Kremlin’s playbook… or should I say payroll?

@anneapplebaum the current version of the National #Security #Strategy: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf

Under the label: “Make #Europe Great Again”:
- "reject the disastrous “climate change” and “Net Zero” ideologies"
- "Preserving and growing our [ #USA] #dominance"
- "We want Europe ... to abandon its
failed focus on #regulatory suffocation" [of US-dominance ...]
- "Enabling Europe ... to operate as ... sovereign nations" 🤷

⚠️ in plain sight ⚠️

@anneapplebaum most of the EU would agree with him on Hungary leaving*.
Also most of the the EU would draw the line there, preferring peace, unity and prosperity

@anneapplebaum Isn't "civilization erasure because of its immigration policies" what the US has done to native Americans?

@anneapplebaum Though only Hungary is really Euroskeptic. So I would be surprised if the others jumped ship.
