"• We want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of Europe, while restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity;"

ah yeah okay support for white supremacy is official US national security policy.

Was it a stunt? Did it get leaked? The strange story behind the 'bipartisan' letter It was meant to be a plea for bipartisanship for a long-term oil and gas plan, but instead it’s left Chris Hipkins blasting the Prime Minister’s office, calling it a media stunt that flies in the face...
