Europe faces "civilisational erasure" and must change course if it is to remain a reliable ally for the United States, according to a U.S. National Security Strategy posted on the White House website. ...
"Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory," the document said, adding that it wanted to "work with aligned countries that want to restore their former greatness". ...
Some of the language in the document recalled a speech by U.S. Vice President JD Vance in Munich in February, which caused shock across European capitals. Vance said he worried most about a "threat from within" Europe and what he said was a retreat from values shared with the United States.
The strategy document said the United States remained "sentimentally attached" to European countries including Britain and Ireland and said the "character of these countries is also strategically important".
As well as pointing to Europe's sluggish economies, it accused the European Union of undermining political liberty and sovereignty, censoring free speech, suppressing political opposition and pursuing migration policies that were "transforming the continent".
If present trends continued, Europe would be "unrecognisable" in 20 years or less and it was "far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies," it said.
The document said it was "more than plausible" that within a few decades some NATO members would become "majority non-European" and it was "an open question" whether they would see the alliance in the same way.

As a way of trying to be relevant, the EU wants to loan the Ukraine about $250 billion. This will fund the Ukraine's ongoing war. As collateral, they will use the $300 billion in frozen Russian funds. This will be known as a reparations loan.
