Europe needs a powerful dose of tough love, according to the NSS. It is in terminal cultural and economic decline. It can afford to protect itself, but it sponges off America, instead. It lets in way too many immigrants, who are making it unrecognizable. It doesn’t protect free speech for nationalists. Perhaps if we slap it around hard and often enough, it will change its ways.
This is what I refer to as the “undiplomatic offensive.” In the end, it is more likely to alienate the Europeans, and make a united front against China impossible, than to force real constructive change.
