The threat that I worry the most about vis-a-vis the USA it’s not russia, it’s not china, it’s not any other external actor. And what I worry about is the threat from within. The retreat of the USA from some of its most fundamental values. Values shared with Europe. In washington, and across the USA, free speech, I fear, is in retreat.

A fundamental part of the problem is believing that empire, white supremacy, etc. has any “values”.
