The article examines the December 2025 U.S. national security strategy, which explicitly identifies failures among European allies. It presents a stark outlook on Europe's economic decline and portrays a dystopian vision of a potential 'erasure of civilization' stemming from current European policies. The document critiques the European Union and other supranational entities for undermining political freedoms and sovereignty, as well as highlighting significant concerns regarding immigration measures, censorship, and declining national identity across Europe.

The strategy emphasizes that the U.S. intends to counteract elitist and anti-democratic restrictions on basic freedoms within Europe and within the Anglo-Saxon world, advocating for stronger democratic ideals among allies. Key to this effort is the support for 'patriotic European parties,' suggesting that the MAGA movement views these political entities, particularly the Hungarian government led by Viktor Orbán, as models for promoting a nationalist agenda that aligns with their vision of democracy.

The implications of this U.S. strategy can lead to heightened tensions between European nations and the United States, especially if perceived as interference in domestic political matters. The overt endorsement of nationalist parties risks deepening divisions within Europe itself, challenging the broader democratic fabric and cooperative approaches that have characterized European integration.
