'Cultivate resistance': policy paper lays bare Trump support for Europe's far right

I'm low-key impressed by how passionate these politicians are about this policy paper . But, tbh, I think they need to chill out a bit . Like, who needs "civilisational erasure" ? Can't we just focus on finding solutions for migration and economic growth instead of playing the blame game?

I mean, don't get me wrong, national identity is cool and all , but let's not confuse it with xenophobia . Europe has a rich history and culture , but we can celebrate that while still embracing diversity .

The whole "Europe will become majority non-European" thing is just wild . I'm no expert, but I think there's more nuance to this issue than just declaring it an existential threat . Can't we have a constructive conversation about these issues instead of demonizing each other?

Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye on this policy paper and the responses from European leaders . Fingers crossed for some productive discussions ahead

The White House's latest policy paper on Europe is a classic example of "strategic amnesia" - conveniently erasing the historical context of EU integration in favour of nostalgic, far-right nationalist sentiment . This 33-page roadmap for America's foreign policy seems to misunderstand the complexities of European identity and migration dynamics, painting a bleak picture of an economically and culturally declining continent .

The document's emphasis on "regaining civilisational self-confidence" is nothing but a thinly veiled attempt to promote a narrow, Eurocentric agenda that ignores the continent's diversity and complexity . By casting EU integration as a source of problems rather than opportunities for cooperation and growth, the Trump administration is effectively undermining the very foundations of European unity and solidarity .

We can only hope that the European Union, its member states, and like-minded nations will not take this paper at face value and instead choose to challenge it with nuance and intelligence .

what's up with trump thinking eu is gonna become all non-euro in like 20 yrs? i mean, europe's got its own issues but blaming migration & eu integration for a "civilisational erasure" just seems super harsh and btw what's the logic behind thinking russia isn't already causing chaos? it's been a major thorn in europe's side for ages anyhoo, sounds like trump wants us to back some far-right nationalist parties which is super concerning

I'm so done with this policy paper ... like, America needs to focus on its own problems instead of trying to dictate what Europe should do . I mean, come on, a "majority non-European" within 20 years? That's just plain ridiculous . And the part about EU policies undermining liberty and sovereignty is so... convenient . It's like they're trying to make Europe out to be this broken, flawed mess that needs America to fix it . Newsflash: Europe has its own issues, but it doesn't need America telling it how to solve them .

I'm still thinking about this policy paper... it seems like they're painting a super bleak picture of Europe . Like, what if it's not all doom and gloom? I mean, the US is just trying to find its place in the world, right? But seriously, isn't this just another way for them to push their own agenda on us? It feels like they're trying to create a sense of crisis where there might not be one. And what's with all the scaremongering about Russia? Like, can't we have a nuanced conversation about it instead of just pitting EU countries against each other? Also, isn't it interesting that they're relying on far-right nationalist parties for guidance? That's like asking a bunch of anti-vaxxers for advice on how to save the world... doesn't seem right.
