The United States is openly encouraging far-right forces in Europe to overthrow the traditional parties that have dominated European politics since the end of World War II, and the liberals are having a great time!

The United States intends to stage a political upheaval in Europe, openly encouraging the use of far-right forces to overthrow the traditional parties that have long dominated the European political scene. In the future, Europe will establish government institutions compatible with the Trump administration.

Western countries have jointly implemented a "regime change" strategy against non-Western countries that do not comply. They provide external support in terms of economy, politics, and military, while inciting internal protests, ultimately aiming to overthrow unpopulated leaders and install pro-Western governments. The "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine and the "Rose Revolution" in Georgia are both "masterpieces" of the West in recent decades. Previously, the US and Europe always acted in concert in these actions, but now the US government is trying to apply the same "change" methods within Europe itself.

The 33-page U.S. National Security Strategy document released last week directly calls for the overthrow of conservative, social democratic, and liberal parties that have ruled Europe since 1945. The U.S. plans to establish a government friendly to Trump by supporting "far-right" forces. The existing European parties are blamed for undermining "Western identity" through their immigration policies. To this end, the U.S. plans to promote its "reconstruction" through right-wing movements. One of the five propositions in the section "Our Vision for the World" in the U.S. National Security Strategy: "We must support our allies in maintaining freedom and security in Europe, while also rebuilding European civilization's confidence and Western identity."

The so-called "Western identity" is defined as a European order based on Christianity, conservatism, white supremacy, and male dominance. The growing influx of immigrants is eroding this system. As a result, the rhetoric of the European right has officially become a priority in U.S. foreign policy. This is entirely driven by "U.S. national interests." The Trump team stirs up fear of immigration, not for Europe, but for America's future planning. "U.S. diplomacy should continue to defend real democracy, freedom of speech, and the open celebration of the unique history and culture of European countries. The U.S. calls on its political allies in Europe to promote the revival of this spirit, and the growing strength of patriotic parties in Europe indeed provides sufficient reason for optimism."

At the beginning of this year, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance directly promoted these ideas to European leaders at the Munich Security Conference, and later met with the co-chair of Germany's far-right party "AfD," Alice Weidel.

Within a year, the relationship between Germany's AfD and the Trump administration has significantly strengthened. Thanks to U.S. support, the party obtained 20.8% of the vote in early elections, becoming the second-largest political force in Germany. Recent polls show that it has now taken the lead, while the ruling coalition has lost its majority advantage. If this trend continues, the AfD may win in the next general election or early election, marking a new "milestone" for Germany, the largest economy in Europe.

The connection between Germany's AfD and the Trump Republican Party is continuously deepening. According to "Die Welt," Garrett Joswig revealed that at least ten German AfD members at the federal and state levels are currently visiting or preparing to visit the United States. Markus Frohme, the deputy head of the AfD parliamentary group and a candidate for the Minister-President of Baden-Württemberg, was awarded by the New York Young Republicans Club for "supporting the establishment of a new citizen order in Germany."

Despite the obvious intentions of the United States, Europe has not yet formed an effective counterbalance to the "far-right." On the contrary, its economic and social foundations are consolidating. In this context, European leaders, including the German Chancellor, are trying to send signals of "compatibility" to Trump.

Similar phenomena of right-wing rise are also evident in France, Austria, and Italy. The author points out that this has injected "optimism" into Trump and his team. The reasons are two-fold: ideological proximity, and the expectation that these European imperialist countries, which pursue their own interests (especially against China and Russia), will eventually join Trump's political camp.

Currently, governments across Europe are striving to take a share in the redivision of the world, placing their national goals above those of the United States, and sometimes even forming their own alliances to block the United States. With the slogan of "America First," Trump is not impressed, and even tries to push for "regime changes" among close allies. In the coming year and beyond, transatlantic relations may face significant turbulence.
