Trump warns Europe faces ‘civilizational erasure’ in explosive new document
U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration blame the EU and migration for what they say is imminent, total cultural unravelling in Europe.The explosive claim is made in the U.S. National Security Strategy, which notes Europe has economic problems, but says they are "eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure" within the next 20 years.
"The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence," the Trump administration says in the 33-page document released overnight.
Trump warns Europe faces ‘civilizational erasure’ in explosive new document
The U.S. president blames the EU and migration for inciting broad continental decline in official National Security Strategy.
It's a dog whistle nod to striving for ethnic purity. Perhaps too explicit to be called a dog whistle. It gives context to quite a lot of his rhetoric and actions. Like welcoming white folks from South Africa while doing what he can to purge the country of brown people. Like the attitude he's repeatedly expressed towards nations of black people and US cities with black administrations.
That narrative is likely to resonate deeply among most of Europe's far-right parties, whose electoral programs are primarily based on criticism of the EU, demands for curbs on migration from Muslim-majority and non-European nations, and a patriotic push to overturn their countries' perceived declines.
What a coincidence. The Proud Boys like him too.
