Heather Cox Richardson 12/5/25 TRUMP ABDICATES U.S. INFLUENCE TRANSATLANTIC RELATIONSHIP OVER Walking away from the U.S.-led international systems that reinforce the principles of national self-determination and have kept the world relatively safe since World War Il, the Trump administration is embracing the old idea of spheres of influence in which less powerful countries are controlled by great powers, a system in place before World War Il and favored now by Russia's president Vladimir Putin, among others. National security specialist Anne Applebaum wrote: “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.” European Council on Foreign Relations senior fellow Ulrike Franke commented: “The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a speech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.” Today, Gram Slattery and Humeyra Pamuk of Reuters reported that Pentagon officials this week told European diplomats in Washington, D.C., that the U.S. wants Europe to take over most of NATO's defense capabilities by 2027.

Heather Cox Richardson 12/5/25 TRUMP'S U.S. TO TAKE OVER WESTERN HEMISPHERE FOR U.S. BUISNESSES, "COMMERCIAL DIPLOMACY" In place of the post—World War Il rules-based international order, the Trump administration's NSS commits the U.S. to a world divided into spheres of interest by dominant countries. It calls for the U.S. to dominate the Western Hemisphere through what it calls “commercial diplomacy,”...The document calls for “closer collaboration between the U.S. Government and the American private sector. All our embassies must be aware of major business opportunities in their country...Every U.S. Government official that interacts with these countries should understand that part of their job is to help American companies compete and succeed.” It went on to make clear that this policy is a plan to help U.S. businesses take over Latin America and, perhaps, Canada. “The U.S. Government will identify strategic acquisition and investment opportunities for American companies in the region and present these opportunities for assessment by every U.S. Government financing program,”

Heather Cox Richardson 12/5/25 TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BACKS AWAY FROM INTERNATIONAL RULES BASED POLICIES The Trump administration's NSS announces a dramatic reworking of the foreign policy the U.S. has embraced since World War Il. After a brief introduction touting what it claims are the administration's great successes, the document begins by announcing the U.S. will back away from the global engagements that underpin the rules-based international order that the World War II Allies put in place after that war to prevent another world war. The authors of the document claim that the system of institutions like the United Nations, alliances like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and free trade between nations that established a series of rules for foreign engagement and a web of shared interests around the globe has been bad for the U.S. because it undermined “the character of our nation.” Their vision of “our country’s inherent greatness and decency,” requires “the restoration and reinvigoration of American spiritual and cultural health,” “an America that cherishes its past glories and its heroes, and that looks forward to a new golden age,” and “growing numbers of strong, traditional families that raise healthy children.”

The cover of weekly Danish newspaper “Weekendavisen” from March 7th 2025 with the headline “Den omvendte verden” (“The opposite world”) while the top half of the front page is a American flag turned upside-down as well as the name of the newspaper at the very top also upside-down.

The Danish newspaper Weekendavisen comes out every Friday. This was the brilliant cover this week 👏🏻🙃 The headline reads “The opposite world” #uspolitics #trump #eupolitics #denmark #usa #internationalrelations #foreignpolicies

Your father would be proud of you, Dean! I hope people like you will defeat the Orange-U-Tan and his #MAGACultMorons.

And perhaps even importantly, that you'll somehow restore sanity to the #America many of us have had a soft spot for, despite its oft hideous #foreignpolicies...
