Russia has welcomed changes in the U.S. National Security Strategy, saying the adjustments that marked a radical departure from Washington’s previous policy were “largely consistent” with Moscow’s vision.

Washington’s new National Security Strategy, published early Friday, took aim at allies in Europe, calling them over-regulated, lacking in “self-confidence” and facing “civilizational erasure” due to immigration.

    The first head of the CIA was a Nazi

    The hell are you talking about? How was Sidney Souers (or Roscoe Hillenkoetter) a Nazi?

    After the German invasion of France, Hillenkoetter entered Vichy France and aided the underground movement. As executive officer of the USS West Virginia (BB-48), he was wounded during the attack on Pearl Harbor, and afterwards was officer in charge of intelligence on Chester W. Nimitz’s Pacific Fleet staff until 1943. He briefly served as commander of the destroyer tender USS Dixie before joining the Bureau of Naval Personnel in 1944.

      Allen Dulles, Sorry, he was the first civilian director of the CIA. I had misremembered that part. But yeah, he was the guy who pulled Kishe out of Prison to then rule Japan (and erase a lot of war crimes from their education system)
