"Pope Leo XIV has insisted Europe must have a role in any Ukraine peace deal and criticised what he said was the Trump administration’s effort to 'break apart' the US-European alliance. Leo spoke after meeting with Ukraine’s visiting president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy."

"The Danish Defense Intelligence Service released a new report that warns the United States can no longer be counted on not to use military force against its own allies.
'The United States uses economic power, including threats of high tariffs, to enforce its will, and no longer rules out the use of military force, even against allies,' the report said."

"Nobody is coming here. Canadian tourism to the US has gone down 18 percent, and those staying in the Western Hemisphere are going to South America, Central America, or the Caribbean instead. Europeans aren’t coming here. Asians are going to Europe. As of September, we were set to lose out on somewhere in the neighborhood of $30 billion in tourism bucks this year. …

"This document basically ... is fundamentally hostile to the European Union because A, it sees it as a potential bulwark against an illiberal United States aligning with autocracies, and B, it really does not want to see an integrated liberal organization succeed."

"It's a very interesting statement to just say the era of mass migration is over as a basis of American foreign policy. The era of mass migration is not over because the problems driving migration are not going away and in many cases they're getting worse."

"This [NSS document] is the 'Great Replacement' theory, applied globally. It is the same might-makes-right worldview of the worst neocons, but in service of the abhorrent principle of segregation instead of democracy, and suggesting a future of American imperialism unmoored from any pretense of a belief in the equality of mankind."

"That strategy is consistent with Trump’s belief in his prerogative to tell our European allies how they should run their countries. Unsurprisingly, that means urging them to embrace right-wing extremist political parties and white nationalism if they want to avoid what he deceptively calls 'civilizational erasure.' That same person is fine with the desire of Russia’s Vladimir Putin to erase Ukraine’s free society."

Come to Trump's America...If You Dare

"Donald Trump hasn’t hidden the fact that he disdains Europe, even to bemoaning that 'Paris is no longer Paris.' But his—and, by extension, America’s—role in sowing discord on the continent seems far greater than what is publicly known."

"What should have been clear as early as November 2024 should, by now, be abundantly so. This version of the US is worse than simply 'not our friend': it is an actively hostile actor seeking to fracture European society in the same way that Russia sought to fracture British society by promoting Brexit, and US society by fuelling disinformation, Maga and Trump."

"The Trump administration wants to persuade four more countries to leave the European Union to 'Make Europe Great Again', according to reports of a longer, still-classified version of the US national security strategy released last week.
There are also suggestions of creating a new elite C5, or Core Five, forum of world powers to sideline the G7, comprising America, China, India, Japan and Russia."
~ David Charter
"Over the summer, President Trump made headlines when he lamented the expulsion of Russia from the Group of Eight—now the Group of Seven—as a 'very big mistake.' He even suggested that he’d like to see China added to form a 'G9.'
His national security strategy proposes taking this a step further, creating a new body of major powers, one that isn’t hemmed in by the G7’s requirements that the countries be both wealthy and democratically governed."
"Working from the premise that Europe is facing 'civilizational erasure' because of its immigration policies and 'censorship of free speech,' the NSS proposes to focus U.S. relationships with European countries on a few nations with like-minded—right-wing, presumably—current administrations and movements."

The death threats and attacks against Biljana Đorđević and Bogdan Radovanović in #Serbia are attacks on all #Greens in #Europe.
Violence against democratically elected representatives endangers Serbia’s future in the EU - and is simply intolerable, as our co-leader Felix Banaszak makes clear in this message.
As German Greens we stand firmly with all who fight for democracy, rule of law, and free elections.
Please, share this message of solidarity to protect our Serbian friends.
“This is a national security document which actually poses a national security threat to Europe, because it’s saying to us, that this terrible invasion inside Europe that’s been led by Vladimir Putin, is essentially something we should normalise.”
“This is a major wake up call for Europeans. Whether you are on the left or the right, you need to look at this document and recognise it for what it is – an unprecedented declaration of interference in European politics.”

"The White House national security strategy paper and the US president himself have laid it out in black and white: Mr Trump seeks a fragmented, weakened Europe that is reliant on US industry and tech, and will therefore meekly comply with its aggressive demands. Europeans deserve far better than a continent made fit for Elon Musk. Time to fight back."

"Godwin’s Law expired last Friday with the publication of the Trump regime’s 'National Security Strategy of the United States of America.' …
None of this is surprising except that it was finally said out loud. Smart people, and also people like me, noticed. So we have just now started calling this, simply, Nazism."

"Friends, we are gathered here together to mourn the death of Godwin’s Law, the wry, venerated staple of modern-world wisdom, which is summarized thus:
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. The person who first mentions Nazis or Hitler loses the argument."

"Much of the document is vague, meandering and self-contradictory. But it becomes clear and focused when it turns to Europe. Quite simply, Trump and those around him hate Europe. And they hate it because it still honors the ideals they’re abandoning in America."
"Trump wants to MAGAfy Europe....
The Trump administration has become especially hostile to Europe, precisely because the Europeans are trying to hold on to the values MAGA is trying to destroy at home.
Last week the Trump administration released its updated National Security Strategy for the United States."
~ Paul Krugman
"It comes as no surprise to learn that it will be U.S. strategy to support so-called 'patriotic European parties,' for which we should read the overtly racist Nazi-worshipping Alternative For Germany political party that Vice President Vance praised so effusively in February that he practically drooled down his shirt at the Munich Security Conference."

"Now he has admitted the truth. His unhappiness with NATO is racist. For Trump and adherents to his cause, European nations have become insufficiently white. Trump’s national security strategy supports 'unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history.' That would be the kind of lily-white history he wants taught in American schools and universities."

"Trump has now formulated a new racism expressed in [the National Security Strategy] document as 'civilizational.' He states outright that Europe and our NATO allies are facing 'civilizational erasure' by allowing immigration from other countries that go unnamed but are clearly not 'European.' This is formulating the Great Replacement Theory as U.S. national policy."
