The US govt is screaming—in words, actions, and now a strategic document—that America has switched sides in the world, preferring authoritarians and a transnational white nationalism over liberal democracy.
Like Russia, a US foreign policy goal is to undermine the EU.
Will Europe finally listen?

Here in Maryland, within hours, the Dept of Health issued standing orders for all qualified health practitioners to provide hepatitis B vaccination. We will not condemn our newborns to a life of chronic infection and liver cancer.
Breaking: After contentious debates and three failed attempts at a vote, a federal vaccine committee decided on Friday to end the decades-long recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B.

If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.
Trump's national security strategy is out and some of the Europe sections are shocking. "...the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed
gives cause for great optimism."

The United States is now not only pro-Russia, it is also taking a stand against Europe, and has a clear objective to meddle in European affairs. The U.S. will support European patriotic parties (pro-Russia fascists). The U.S. with its current regime is an enemy of a free Europe.

Every team that does not show up at all for the World Cup is a big winner. All teams that decide that way could meet in Canada, Africa, etc etc & declared the their own moral duty and soccer champion.
From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: The 12 groups for the 2026 World Cup were unveiled. The U.S. men’s team will face Australia, Paraguay and the winner of a European playoff.
