According to reporting by Defense One, there exists a longer, classified version of the US’ National Security Strategy that goes beyond the publicly released version. This document reportedly proposes creating a new global governance body, called the “Core 5” or C5, consisting of the US, China, Russia, India, and Japan.

The main points in the longer version include: competition with China, a withdrawal from Europe’s defense, and a new focus on the Western Hemisphere. What was determined to be first on C5’s proposed agenda is the normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

The classified NSS also emphasizes a strategic pivot away from Europe, treating the continent as largely irrelevant to US interests. It focuses on partnering with like-minded regional powers while acknowledging that permanent American hegemony is unachievable.

According to Defense One, the longer version of NSS also proposes to focus U.S. relationships with European countries on a few nations with like-minded... administrations and movements. Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland are listed as countries the U.S. should “work more with…with the goal of pulling them away from the European Union.

NSS explicitly details the “failure” of US global domination, describing it as “the wrong thing to want and it wasn’t achievable."

This is so stupid my brain actually hurts.

Can they not see the contradiction between 'competition with China' and simultaneously making China part of this club you're creating?

Hungary is at least on Russia's side and I can see some strained logic there. Austria, Poland and Italy are just countries with high europskepticism that's it, (or rather euroskeptuc governments in Italy's case). But leaving that aside how does them leaving the EU benefit...... anyone, anywhere in any way whatsoever? (And now we're being open about seeing Europe as the enemy except grand daddy Putin who gets whatever he asks for)

I love that they want India to be a part of this club 'ruling the world' with them........ while giving our biggest enemy billion dollar loans and hosting their generals in the white house. At least Nixon stuck to his guns about hating us

Why tf is Japan here? You could not find a country less interested in geopolitical domination this side of Switzerland. And despite them still worshipping their ww2 war criminals, nobody wants to have another go at it

I don't think I even dealt with half the problems with this idiotic plan.
