The #Trump admin said on Friday that #Europe was facing the “stark prospect of civilizational erasure” & pledged that the #UnitedStates would support like-minded “patriotic” parties across the continent to prevent a future in which “certain #NATO members will become majority non-European.”

The #racist assessment of Europe’s future was released overnight as part of an update to the US’ #NationalSecurityStrategy….

Without naming them directly, the document says the #US should be “cultivating resistance” across #Europe by supporting political parties that fight against #immigration & promote [white] #nationalism. That describes several #FarRight populist parties like #ReformUK in Britain and the… #AfD in #Germany, which has been classified as an #extremist party by German intelligence services.

A British businessman (and crypto 'investor') based in Thailand gave £9mn to ReformUK in August (the largest donation to a political party from a living person, ever).

In comparison, the Tories relieved around half that in total in the same period & Labour was given less than £2mn.

Now while Nigel Farage claims Chris Harbone wants nothing in return, the fact his fortune is based in aviation fuel (currently untaxed), you might wonder if he has something in mind?

Despite rumours that ReformUK might be willing to enter some sort of electoral pact with the Tories ahead of the next election, Nigel Farage rejected this idea, suggesting that only a 'reverse tax-over' of the Tories is of any interest to him.

Normally I wouldn't comment on Fararge's fantasy politics, but in this case it perhaps confirms what many suspect; that a badly weakened Tory party may be prey to a stronger populist right challenger.

Time & events will tell.
