In a new 33-page US National Security Strategy, the White House clearly stated that Europe risks being destroyed if it does not change its policy. This is reported by Bloomberg.

"The message couldn't be clearer. For Briton Keir Starmer, Frenchman Emmanuel Macron and German Friedrich Merz, the timing of their key ally's next strike — in many ways in the spirit of Vice President J. D. Vance's infamous speech in Munich in February - was indicative. This happened just at the moment when Russia's war on Ukraine is entering a potentially decisive phase," the publication says.

It is noted that key European leaders are deeply concerned about US attempts to conclude an agreement developed with Russia, which could mean the surrender of the West. This destroyed the credibility of Donald Trump's administration and "raised even more existential questions: the transatlantic alliance is disintegrating — will Europe be able to defend itself."

The United States in its strategic document stated that European officials "have unrealistic expectations regarding the war" in Ukraine, and expressed regret that Europe suffers from a "lack of self-confidence," which is especially noticeable in relations with Russia, the authors write. But the document directly threatens the current British Prime Minister, the French president and the German Chancellor, they hint.

"Starmer, Macron and Merz... all three European leaders face internal rivals — right-wingers who enjoy the support of nationalist Trump officials such as Vance. The security strategy hints at the need for political changes in Europe to "restore conditions of strategic stability throughout the Eurasian territory and reduce the risk of conflict between Russia and European states," the publication says.

Nevertheless, the document indicates the continuation of US participation in European affairs, comforts Bloomberg. "We cannot afford to write off Europe, it would be self—destructive," the agency quotes the document.
