Data is anti-fascist
Last week, this newsletter was refreshingly apolitical. Well, that was then. Chapter 1 What they want you to believe about immigrants You don't need to travel too far up the branches of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller's …Philip Bump (How To Read This Chart)
"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."

"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."

If the US forces me to choose between my two nationalities, I choose France – and Europe

"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."

"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."

‘Make Europe Great Again’ and more from a longer version of the National Security Strategy
A fuller version reviewed by Defense One outlines the Trump administration’s plans for shedding old relationships and creating new ones.Meghann Myers (Defense One)
"If you fed a low-rent knockoff version of ChatGPT a diet of Trump Truth Social screeds and X posts from Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem, [Trump's NSS document] is what it would spit out. ...
It’s not an overreaction to call this 'soft power suicide,' as Jamie Shea, a former NATO official, told the New York Times."

“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.”

Has Trump Just Declared War on Europe?
Byline Times' Head of Investigations Nafeez Ahmed talks to Adrian Goldberg and the Byline Podcast about what really lies behind the new Kremlin-aligned US National Security StrategyAdrian Goldberg (Byline Supplement)
"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."

The Guardian view on Trump and Europe: more an abusive relationship than an alliance
Editorial: The White House is aggressively seeking to weaken and dominate the United States’ traditional allies. European leaders must learn to fight back.Editorial (The Guardian)
"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."
