just want to be clear that if Trump wins, the only accurate answer to "why did Harris lose?" will not be found in a thousand thinkpieces on "if only she'd announced more policy".
the accurate answer will be "cos American politics and American society are irredeemable fucked".

It feels that Trump NSS declaring it wants to support, in essence, the overthrow of European Liberal Democracy and undercutting all of the assumptions we've based our last 70 years of foreign policy on should be a bigger news story. More than, you know, Eurovision

It’s not an airport under Sean Duffy, you can just leave instead of announcing your crashout over hearing about a shitty Republican House Rep you can’t be bothered to read about.
Still don’t know who Cory Mills is and don’t want to know unless there’s something actionable on the table.
Otherwise, please stop mentioning. I mean it. I am going to mute or block you.

My impression is that Putin has outlined a vision to Trump where the U.S. withdraws from Europe and Asia, and in return is given a free hand to focus on dominating the Americas. This is where the Greenland and Canada annexation talk comes from.

History suggests that things don't go well when white nationalists are warning against "civilizational erasure" in Europe
The new US National Security Strategy makes for scary reading. I wrote about how the US wants to support forces in Europe to tear itself apart back in November 2024, and last May. This NSS confirms that's exactly the US objective for Europe.

I cannot see how this order is anything other than a signal that Trump (a rapist) views rape as a legitimate punishment for being LGBTQ+. A punishment that extends to children. There is no depth to which he will not sink.

This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.

European reaction to the new American national strategy document
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:
The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.
