<A classified addendum to the Trump administration’s 2025 National Security Strategy outlines a roadmap for the active fragmentation of the European Union, according to sensitive documents obtained by Defense One.

<The "extended version" of the strategy marks a radical departure from postwar foreign policy. It explicitly directs U.S. officials to bypass Brussels and cultivate exclusive relationships with specific nations, with the ultimate objective of detaching them from the bloc.

<The document identifies Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland as primary targets for this diplomatic destabilization. The strategy instructs Washington to "engage more deeply" with these capitals to pull them away from the EU. To facilitate this, the White House proposes supporting "parties, movements, and cultural figures" who advocate for sovereignty and "traditional European lifestyles."

<In a significant doctrinal shift, the text formally rejects American hegemony, describing the pursuit of global dominance as a "failure" that was "not achievable." This phrasing, which intelligence analysts note mirrors Kremlin narratives, establishes a strictly transactional worldview: foreign affairs are relevant only if they pose a direct threat to U.S. interests.

<Despite the isolationist rhetoric, the document reveals anxiety about the power vacuum left by American withdrawal. It warns that neither China nor Russia must be allowed to replace U.S. leadership. To bridge this contradiction, the strategy proposes a loose coalition of "regional champions" who share U.S. principles, regardless of their democratic standing.

Peace candidate who failed to keep the peace in Cambodia. Peace candidate who only stopped supplying to Ukraine when they realised it was not sustainable. Peace candidate who openly desired to annex Greenland. Peace candidate who has openly given up even pretending to fix Somalia. Peace candidate who wants to carpetbomb Venezuela.
Giving the nobel peace prize to a woman who wants her own country to be carpetbombed and mass privatised.

the EU is more durable than the trump presidency. they're never going to burn their alleigance over four years of bullshit. if the fascists try to bolster their failing regime by suspending elections they're going to lose that's when to start cutting the yanks loose.

germany has foundries for microchips, you never heard of them because they don't market them: they already do volumes in automotive and industrial controls.

europe has become the center of the world for open source introducing "digital sovereignty" legislation that will eventually break the back of the US tech empire. they're finally acknowledging that microshits and amerizon cloud are spyware and phasing them out as well.

You guys are right. The liberal establishment in America is still very powerful and is in total alignment with the European ruling class on all substantial issues. I'm just talking about the current administration and its apparent plans to transform their relationship with Europe.

>the EU is more durable than the trump presidency
Lmao
>germany has foundries for microchips
<The European Union’s goal is to raise market share in global semiconductor output to 20% by 2030 — an aim that seems unattainable. The level in 2024 was just 8.1%, and without further investments, it would fall to 5.9% by 2045, according to analysis by German industry lobby group Zvei and consultancy Strategy&.

They're banking on AI providing that, which is unlikely but not impossible, it just needs to provide to the American economy in value the equivalent of all of silicon valley twice over for it to pay off

He keeps saying that. Like he knows there's a problem. Like he knows his "world economy" is fragile.

crazy

But that just makes Chinas position even greater. If the Americans are basing their entire economy and stock market on AI, China would have to do one single thing to cause a Great Depression.

if you dont support abolishing income tax, then i cant support you

>>2591084
1. Nationalize entire private economy
2. Establish democratic local communes
3. Establish a commune of communes to control the state and economy
4. Re-establish work camp system
5. Send OP to one of these work camps

>>2591115
#18. Abolish the Income Tax, except for Billionaires

>>2591161
billionaires dont receive their revenue by income (which refers to a waged salary), but typically by capital gains or corporate profits, which are generally taxed differently. people may also receive rents in the form of royalties or elsewise.

I'm probably going to get jumped but uh regardless, I'm feeling very frustrated because a lot of the more far left people i listen to keep saying to stop supporting stuff like DSA and junk and move to something more radical. but then they don't offer anything more radical, so we're just stuck in this feedback loop and i feel frustrated because i genuinely want to help. They keep saying that my arguments for not working on non-viable stuff is flawed but then they don't offer any alternatives and it's driving me up the wall. My main hope is that if a Dem Teaparty goes off, we can work on building actual space for third parties post trump. But I'm struggling on ways to do that, if any of you have any basic starter groups for a noobie demsoc like me please let me know. I wouldn't be here if i wasn't desperate

A herd of succdems passes through a communist image board, and it is disgusting.
>>2589217
Ignore the above, and never join a succdem party. If you are really dead set on finding a group, go on the down low, and find something less obvious and more material in its purposes. A food pantry perhaps. You might even meet people you would never have the chance to meet otherwise.

>>2589387
Just be wary of any “oldheads”

>>2589217
That one anon is schizo
But yeah join some local org the DSA is fine. There's plenty of MLs in it.

>>2589392
You aren’t passing out “free candy” on my watch. Get.

>>2588894
I'm kind of in a similar situation to OP where people keep telling me to do direct action. But then they don't offer any examples of it and instead just keep saying "DSA is le bad" on repeat, So we're just stuck in a rock and a hard place. B.E live's latest video is a good example where he glazes Calla Walsh
but then doesn't tell people how to be like her.

I say this as a fan: she just says what left twitter wants to hear.
I think she means well, she's got the right impulse, but her head is empty. She's a random Labour left MP thrust into a figurehead position aware that Corbyn, the same basic type, blundered by being moderate and compromising with the status quo powerbrokers. She won't make that mistake, but she's only got ears, not a plan.

>>2591034
>decision by councils without individual leadership figures, borderline council communist rojava zapatista ass type decision making processes.
She seems like an actual communist.

>>2591034
She only got into democracy when it became clear she was getting the cold shoulder off the independent alliance. Which to be fair, was immediately.

People have to remember she was a Labour MP until last year. Your political consciousness is more developed than hers is. It b that way.

She very likely has a Reddit account. She’s probably got a mad leftbook post history.


It does look like to me, and bear in mind I’m a member, that she has eeked out the super radical position in order to latch onto a pre existing base and propel her own position.

Looks like she’s been good at that so far. If you’ve been around activist types, there is a million of them like this, only she’s managed to make it a thing.

How can communists in the imperial core be normal?

Not really sure how to explain the problem. It just seems in general like there's an extreme lack of interpersonal skills, patience, pragmatism and empathy for others. IDK just seems very dysfunctional.

Alternatively you could just go:
> Yeah the system would have extra on standby to handle fluctuations in demand

We already have to do that with product failure rate or spoilage or whatever – why would your one day desire to eat more broccoli to fill your contrarianism upset the system?
How would this prove we should switch to capitalism which is way more fragile to changing demands and fucking hoarding?

it's deeper than that. by fighting for the status quo they don't have to address the intrinsic waste of capitalism. it's taken as a given that we can buy tropical fruit all year no matter how that fucks with the environment, and whenever west can't have something they buy it off the plate of the third world. food prices today are directly caused by the yanks coup in ukraine and throwing all their farmhands into concentration camps. two massive hits to agricultural production that actively reduced the carrying capacity of the earth and amount to pointless self-defeating vandalism of the capitalist world order.
