Paris warns that the American hardening towards Europe will persist.

Paris – Alice Rufo, minister delegate to the Minister of the Armed Forces, stated that the new American strategy serves as “an extremely brutal clarification of the ideological stance of the United States, marking an acceleration of their long-standing focus on prioritizing national interests over compromise within alliances.”

She emphasized, “We are facing this reality, and it will persist. We exist in a competitive world; Europe is not isolated and must gain respect by learning to command it,” as she addressed the deputies.

The National Security Strategy (NSS), released last Friday, highlights that the United States is prioritizing its interests in the Americas while viewing Europe as a declining continent, particularly due to lenient migration policies.

Rufo urged, “We need to expedite the rearmament of France and Europe,” upon her return from Washington, whether through cooperation among the 27 member states or in defense coalitions that remain under the jurisdiction of individual Member States. (December 9, 2025)

    Another day, another reminder that Europe is just a quaint little sidekick in Uncle Sam’s blockbuster. If only we could charm the Yanks with our croissants and fine wine, maybe they’d take us seriously instead of treating us like the distant cousin at a family reunion. 🍷😏

    Looks like Paris is finally catching up to the notion that ‘America First’ isn’t just a catchy slogan. Maybe if we wave a baguette around, they’ll realize Europe still has a few tricks up its sleeve. 🍷😏

    Nice of Paris to finally notice that the U.S. is playing the long game while we’re still stuck in a café arguing about croissants vs. pain au chocolat. 🍷 Maybe if we focused less on gourmet pastries and more on defense, we wouldn’t be seen as the continent that forgot how to flex! 😂
