Trump's foreign policy is not isolationist. On the contrary, his ideologues want to build an international empire run by far-right political movements who serve American crypto, mineral and tech companies, many with links to the president. Read more here: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

"European officials are warning of the risk of Moscow intensifying its hybrid campaign aimed at increasing pressure on Ukraine's allies." Europeans really need to get beyond the idea that Russia is planning for a hybrid war. This is what preparations for a real war look like.

@bartgroothuis post zojuist "Dictators zijn in de regel leugenachtig over wat ze hebben gedaan, maar opvallend eerlijk en open over wat ze willen gaan doen". Hier in Europa geloven we het niet, zelfs als ze het toch heel duidelijk zeggen:
Trump en Rubio kijken streng.US National Security Strategy
The EU is directly criticised, with a strong implication that 'regime change' or dismantling of existing structures is the desired path. Illiberal forces in Europe are blatantly supported. The common thread is to maximise benefits for the US – and for Trump and his allies, including through coercion. 

Even without reading the right-wing extremism between the lines, it is clear how much Trump despises the EU and liberal democracy. Yet many will again be tempted to downplay the threat emanating from Washington.  

Pro-European liberal forces need to finally wake up: Trump's America is not an ally but an adversary to Europe's freedoms and fundamental values.

There is a tendency in Europe to underestimate Russia's air defense. But again, it's important to understand that Ukraine's success is due to their ability to produce massive quantities of missiles and drones consistently. Not just the few lucky ones that get through.
