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.

A herring is a fish.

When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells.
