When Trump ended 80 years of US-backed regime change abroad, the empire reached for a 170-year-old playbook. The same destabilization tactics used in Ukraine and Syria are now being deployed in American cities—and the new National Defense Strategy forced their hand.
In this video, Susan Kokinda delves into the connections between a Minneapolis shooting, the fallout from Davos, and a 170-year-old British playbook. Highlighting the end of America’s foreign regime-change policies under President Trump, Kokinda explains how British tactics of destabilization are now being used within the US. With figures like Rachel Sayre and Vice President JD Vance shedding light on engineered chaos in Minneapolis, the discussion extends to the historical context of Lord Palmerston’s strategies — tactics now resurfacing as Britain grapples with the decline of the postwar order. Tune in to understand how the new National Defense Strategy is redefining American priorities and why Minneapolis serves as ground zero for these covert operations.
