New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says

Source: BBC

Russia has welcomed US President Donald Trump's new National Security Strategy, calling it "largely consistent" with Moscow's vision.

The 33-page document, unveiled by the US administration this week, suggests Europe is facing "civilisational erasure" and does not cast Russia as a threat to the US.

Combatting foreign influence, ending mass migration, and rejecting the EU's perceived practice of "censorship" are mentioned as other priorities in the report.

Several EU officials and analysts had pushed back on the strategy, questioning its focus on freedom of expression and likening it to language used by the Kremlin.

Trump is Putin’s racist tool.

Europe’s civilization erasure aka white people are under attack.

...Trump sees the World as comprised of only three spheres of influence.

Furthermore, Orwell's 'Eurasia' was roughly an amalgam of Europe (minus the UK), and the territory of the then USSR― which, arguably, would align quite well with our proposed abandonment of Europe as provided in the National Security Strategy.

Trump couldn't do a millionth of his shit without the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and the U.S. Supreme court Republican justices.

We need to say: The "Republicans" and quit saying "Trump".....otherwise, Trump goes bye-bye and the Republicans don't take the blame......They put someone in like Stephen Miller/Russell Vought and they are right back in business doing the same shit they have been doing and getting away with......

The history of Europe is a history of tribal warfare, and ultra-right nationalism is militant tribalism. It will destroy NATO without a credible "leader of the free world." Looks like Putin has a gleam in his eye for divide and conquer.

And the world is realizing the USA first agenda is really war against the rest of us. I find the whole thing disgusting and that may be because I am Canadian but if you think for one minute other countries are going to accept this BS, you are mistaken. We are moving on, will trade where we can with US but that is about it. To the US, other countries are only there to be used, to make america great.

places those nations as among the happiest peoples of the world.

It's too easy of an example for aware Americans to use in pushing for a 21st century U.S. social safety net that matches our nation's wealth, culture, influence, and power, but pulls from the lucre addicted global oligarchs

The oligarchs prefer Europe spend money arming itself to the teeth particularly if it means pulling domestic spending from their citizens' well-being.

Then we can go back to the unchallenged dog eat dog world of the gilded age; and precursor to World War I.

Thanks for the thread littlemissmartypants

My son works in R&D for a company that manufactures many things sold in Europe. A large part of his job is finding/creating materials that are not on the banned list for the EU as known or likely carcinogens.

Oligarchs hate spending money to prevent sickness in worker bees. They also hate the pro-worker laws of the EU and would prefer that the whole world was like the US with anti-labor and pro-slave wages laws.

Kraznov received his instructions and a list of vetted miscreants to enact Putin's Plan during "the meeting that never happened", after Putin rigged the Election to eliminate Hillary.
Putin had to prevent Hillary's election at all costs because he knew she was a much more difficult opponent and would thwart his intentions in her commitment to Democracy.

wore 'I'd rather be Russian than Democrat' t-shirts at Trump rally/hate fests. But there was 'no collusion.'

As for Trump's racist diatribes, My view? he exhibits the same sick-fk mentality as that of Hitler's.

The only difference between them being what Trump HAS YET TO DO... if given HALF the chance.

A switch to renewable energy would have meant not having to cut deals with Russia, Saudi Arabia and other such dictatorships.

But then what about tyrants and dictators? Why won’t anyone think about their rights ?
