I agree with Trump. It rarely ever happens, but in this interview…

In between the nonsense, Trump said something about Europe’s political leaders that is true:

“I think they don’t know what to do”

And 

“Europe doesn’t know what to do”

🤯 The National Security Strategy of the USA was just published. It’s an explicit plan to weaken the EU: they want Europe to operate as a group of sovereign nations.

Their strategy even prioritizes: “Cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations.”

The civil war in Sudan has devastated the country. A leaked UN report and Amnesty International suggest that the weapons from the UAE, Serbia, Russia, China, Turkey, Yemen, and the UK have ended up in the conflict region. Europe could stop that 👉 https://loom.ly/j-VfeyU
