Signal US National Security Strategy (Nov 2025) attacks European 'civilisational erasure'

Summary

The report argues that geopolitics is not only about trade and economic interests but also has a cultural dimension, citing the US National Security Strategy of November 2025 as evidence. That strategy criticises Europe as a region at risk of erasing its own civilisation through, among other things, its migration policies and the suppression of free speech. According to the report, the American campaign against the 'woke' policies of European countries resonates with autocratic leaders inside and outside Europe. In the same chapter the report judges that attacks on democratic institutions weaken the American position internationally. It also observes that US support for NATO is no longer self-evident, underlining the shift in transatlantic relations.
