The group that drafted a key blueprint for Donald Trump’s second term convened a meeting in Washington D.C. this week to consider proposals for bulldozing the European Union (EU).

The Polish investigative outlet VSquare revealed that the Heritage Foundation gathered hardline conservative groups on 11 March to hear how they would overhaul the current structures of the EU.

The “closed-door workshop” featured a debate on a new paper produced by the lobby groups MCC and Ordo Iuris entitled: “The Great Reset: Restoring Member State Sovereignty in the 21st Century”.

    Considering you’re not giving any actual evidence for much of what you’re writing, that’s speculation as far as I’m concerned as well.

    I’m not downplaying anything, I’m saying I’m not buying an oft-repeated narrative, and I’m still not buying it. And, in any case, I don’t expect you to apologise, I expect people I’m responding to in a polite manner to be vaguely polite back. I’ve not doubted your intellectual capabilities just for disagreeing with me.

      You’re starting to sound like one more far-right apologist, offering only soft arguments against fascism, while carefully allowing Russia to escape blame for their obvious nefarious behavior, despite years of open evidence of it. We see this a lot in America, although yours was more subtle than we usually see, because American MAGAs are fucking stupid, and can’t navigate subtlety.

      You are the one who offered no sources for your allegations that Russia isn’t really leading the growing wave of far-right activism across the world. I offered two solid sources for my basic argument, and invited you to do more research. It’s not my job to hold your hand. If you truly want to know more, which seems increasingly doubtful, you have Google on your phone and computer.

          I don’t know what you are, but if you are going to let Russia off the hook for what is their OBVIOUS geopolitical strategy, people are going to suspect that of you. Patriotic, non-MAGA Americans no longer have the luxury of denying the truth of Russia’s manipulation. Here, we are in a Civil War, and citizens have to take a side, and if you arent with us, you’re with the enemy.

          It may not be that dire in your country, but it wasn’t dire in our country either, until it was. You would do yourself and your nation a service by getting on board with resistance now, before its too late. Russia is closer to you than America, and when they have dismantled America, you will be directly at their mercy.

          Unless that’s what you want.
