    The US has now started to destabilise Europe.

    Steve Bannon to set up 'The Movement' foundation to boost far-right across Europe

    Donald Trump's former adviser Steve Bannon is setting up a foundation to boost the spread of far-right political groups across Europe.
    The strategist hopes the non-profit organisation called "The Movement" will rival the liberal Open Society Foundation set up by billionaire George Soros in 1984.
    “Soros is brilliant,” Mr Bannon told the Daily Beast website. “He’s evil, but he’s brilliant.”



    Since his departure from the White House in August last year, the former Breitbart editor has met a series of right-wing leaders including France's Marine Le Pen, Alice Weidel of Alternative for Germany, Hungary's Viktor Orban and Nigel Farage.

    In March he urged a Front National rally in France to "let them call you racist" and "wear it as a badge of honour" as he claimed that history was on the side of the far-right.

    During his visit to the UK last week he described the founder of the English Defence League, Tommy Robinson, as the "backbone" of Britain in comments made off-air after his appearance on Mr Farage's LBC radio show.

    Mr Bannon said the new foundation would offer polling, think tank research, advice on messaging and data targeting to right-wing groups which have seen a growth in support in recent years.


    He also plans to develop a "supergroup" within the European parliament that could attract up to a third of MPs after the elections next May.
    “Everybody agrees that next May is hugely important, that this is the real first continent-wide face-off between populism and the party of Davos," he said, referring to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. "This will be an enormously important moment for Europe.”


    The Movement is expected to hire up to 10 full-time staff and set up a headquarters in Brussels ahead of the 2019 elections. However Mr Bannon did not indicate how the project would be funded.
    He said he believed that "right-wing populist nationalism" is the future of Europe after decades of integration.
    The Brexit referendum victory in 2016 was followed by the election of Donald Trump in the US and the rise of right-winger Matteo Salvini to become Italy's deputy prime minister this year.

    Not surprising that you would use a deceptive thread title to insinuate that it is the US government that is involved. Last I checked Bannon is a private citizen.

    The US has been destabilising Europe since 2003 when it dragged European countries into a sprawling middle eastern war(smash and grab on natural resources) which seen millions of Muslims die, the creation of ISIS ...and drawing multiple terrorist attacks on cities across Europe.

    Not arguing the point, but I want to ask as I really don't know: How really seperated from Trump is Bannon?

    Bullshit. They are as complicit as the Americans with regards to those wars. Tony Blair was at the forefront of it all right there with Bush.

    I agree with the complicity ...but the UK and other European countries would never have been involved if not for the US dragging them into the war.

    However the US would have gone at it alone even without the Europeans.

    Do you understand the distinction?

    On a different note (and not taking the piss), do you guys think the USA get value out of NATO?

    Should the USA even have more then a token presence in Europe?

    Would that presence best be near the Russian Border (the logical place as I see it).

    Hmm. The U.S. destabilize Europe? Brexit was the start and the U.S. didn’t support that. Bannon is just a nationalist out drumming up support wherever he can.

    Of course I do but with allies like Blair there was no doubt that they would fall in line. They were hardly dragged.

    Why bother...to reason with the cadre of TD platform posters,...who probably still believe in the Roy Rogers American "Dream"...?

    The U.S. didn't "drag" Europe into anything. European leaders wanted a piece of the big pie, while conveniently forgetting,...
    the U.S. remains located on the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean. No sympathy, do they get,...from this quarter.

    Very few people in the UK wanted to get involved, several high ranking members of Blair's own cabinet resigned as a result, Blair was forced to fake the WMD evidence as a persuader as there was so little appetite in the face of the actual facts, then there was the NATO obligations ...again the UK wouldn't have been involved if not for the US so I would say "dragged" is apt.

    Ah yes Brexit, where the biggest argument for leaving was to close the door on all the refugees coming from war torn Muslim countries post 9/11.

    No sympathy from me either, but who can deny association with the US has led to 2 decades of terrorist attacks on Europeans cities and racial divides on a scale that simply didn't exist before 2003.

    Here is a German who believes:

    Far-right German leader skeptical of Bannon's anti-EU push

    BERLIN (Reuters) - A leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has poured cold water on plans by Steve Bannon, U.S. President Donald Trump’s former political strategist, to forge a wide populist alliance to undermine the European Union.




    And farther down

    The former Trump strategist last month announced he had created a Brussels-based political organization called The Movement to rally nationalist and populist voters in European Parliament elections next May, with a goal of undermining and paralyzing the bloc.

    But then it could just be interference in the election process of another country, where have we heard that before ?

    "You're either with us or against us." At the time, Blair, although readily falling for it (for some political US-UK reason), was definitely compelled by Bush, as was the rest of the world.

    The title of the thread needs changing to, "ameristan continues to destabilise the world".

    ^But there are not "boots on the ground" in any of those red places, as you well know. Plenty of dead brown people, ruined buildings, polluted water, radioactive soil........

    And of course these, although not so well maintained. Those Germans/British new how to keep a tidy prison.

    Pure propaganda from the less well "educated".
