NOTHING about the Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy should shock European leaders, still less the enthusiastic welcome that this confirmation of a revolution in US foreign policy has received from Moscow.
It calls, after all, for a rupture in the transatlantic alliance that every Kremlin leader – with brief exceptions for Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin – has sought since 1945.
Why that is should be self-evident. Moscow has been fighting wars to expand or protect its westward borders and influence since at least the days of Peter the Great.
