The United States is a clear and present danger to the national security of the UK, Canada, Australia and NZ according to officials
The UK, Canada, Australia and NZ are members of the most exclusive intelligence sharing alliance in the world: The Five Eyes - or “FVEY”. America has no closer allies or friends. The official policy position of all of these allies is the United States, under the direct control and/or continued influence of the Trump Terror Network (TTN), is a clear and present danger to their national security.
Donald Trump’s poison has spread to what was once considered the most serene, if not sleepy, country in the western world. The most severe terror attacks in NZ’s history were mounted in the name of Donald Trump. The NZ government assess the threat is growing. Canada, is making preparations for a possible return of the rapist, twice impeached and four time indicted, one term president. These include whole of government plans for a wide variety of contingencies including some that might require the use of military force.
In a new article released just days ago by Foreign Affairs, leading terrorism experts, Bruce Hoffman and Jacob Ware, write that
“today’s right-wing extremism is first and foremost an American problem”.
In addition to the official policy pronouncements above, all of our closest allies now single out
American groups and individuals as threats to their [countries] the same way the United States has targeted entities with ties to al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
Leading the terrorism expert Matthew Levitt to write
“We have become exporters of right-wing extremism”
American Hatred Goes Global: How the United States Became a Leading Exporter of White Supremacist Terrorism, by Hoffman and Ware, confirms and supports the issues and themes presented over the past 2 years by Civil War II’s coverage of the TTN.
As a former Australian and US strategic analyst, never in CWII’s wildest dreams would he have thought he would be writing about America as a threat to our closest allies. And yet here we are.
These are not the only international repercussions of the rise and spread of the TTN. Together with the escalating belligerence of the CCP, the TTN and its affiliates have caused all of our allies and partners around the world to re-evaluate their security posture. At a minimum, all of them are now planning on the basis that the TTN could once again take over America and that as a consequence, they should rapidly expand their military capabilities and band together in new non-traditional alliance formations that were unthinkable just a few years ago. Reading between the lines, some even appear to be contemplating the adoption of their own nuclear deterrent, such is their degree of anticipated abandonment by the US
The following articles all outline the assessments and policy responses of allies in the Indopacific and represent their judgments on the impact of the TTN on American instability. Each of them show how allies are making plans for a radically redefined role of the US on the world stage. This is not about Trump demanding allies pay more. Alliances are about shared values and commitments, not protection rackets. These are signal flares being shot over America’s bow to wake the public up to what outsiders see as an existential threat to the US and consequently to their own security.
Just like the CIA and the Pentagon, allied intelligence agencies and strategic planing organizations are tasked with assessing the future strategic environment. They are responsible for identifying all the ways their country’s might be exposed to risk. It is then up to the policy makers to direct what needs to be done to avoid high risk and/or high consequence security dilemmas. When close allies shift positions in such a dramatic way in such a short period of time, that is a leading edge indicator that their national security establishments have made tough judgments about your continued stability as a key alliance partner.
The fact that FVEY partners are going outside of their highly classified communication channels and publicly identifying America as a future threat is astonishing. The governments of our closest partners have decided to put the world on notice that they see what is happening in the US and they are taking firm measures to avoid being weakened by what some might assume is blind trust in, what in reality has become, an unreliable partner. In other words, they assess a better than even chance the US could succumb to internal threats supported by external sponsors. All of their new defense policies, beefed-up armaments, and new alliances are a bulwark against America continuing its nose dive into authoritarianism.
