BREAKING: Is the US's objective in Europe regime change?

What the new U.S. National Security Strategy quietly signalsThe 2025 U.S. National Security Strategy contains one line that should make every European policymaker pause: Washington now wants to “cultivate resistance” inside allied democracies.This isn’t military intervention. It’s something quieter:a willingness to back alternative political forces in Europe to “correct” its trajectory.Key points from the document:* Europe is described as facing “civilizational erasure” and becoming “unrecognizable in 20 years.”* Current European leaders are labeled “unstable” and accused of “trampling democratic principles.”* The U.S. pledges to support “patriotic European parties” and “political allies in Europe.”* It questions whether future European societies will remain “reliable allies.”* It suggests Europe needs to be pushed toward a quicker settlement in Ukraine.Why this mattersThis is a cold reminder that geopolitical risk today isn’t just about borders, armies, or treaties.
