Yes, #lobbying can save democracy and improve the quality of policymaking, provided that we make it more #deliberative. Here are three regulatory (not necessarily legislative) solutions to make it happen: https://t.co/WZOmMoDCsi

"Philosophers have only interpreted the world, the point however is to change it". Ok, after studying #lobbying for around 20 years, here is my take on how to properly regulate it, innovating the old paradigm of transparency, and focusing on #deliberation: https://t.co/cN0gGO3WOp

@HillelNeuer @antonioguterres So many degrees, and yet you don't know that the UN is about international affairs, not domestic violations of human rights?

What Anthony Gardner, former US ambassador to the European Union, said on Trumps US National Security Strategy document is exactly what any sane person who isn't drinking the Trump-putin Kool-Aid has been screaming for years. That "strategy" document isn't just a misstep. It is a full-on betrayal, and Gardner nailed it when he called it an "act of treachery" and "obscene."

Host: “And so, when you read the national security strategy document written by the White House, and especially its attitude to the place that you used to be based in Brussels and the European Union, do you think that this is, although using rather brazen language, a welcome wake-up call to the EU or an act of treachery from our closest friend?”

Anthony Gardner: “It's an act of treachery from our closest friend. It's an obscene document, and it is contrary to 80 years of bipartisan US foreign policy. Okay, I stress bipartisan, because every one of my Republican predecessors in that job agreed—and I'll say 90%—on the proposition that it was in the US's best interest to have a strong, united Europe around the EU. That was true from the Treaty of Rome onwards. So, this document is amateurish, it is ignorant, and it is a slap in the face because it really says the position now of the United States is to promote extreme movements in Europe, mostly on the right wing, whose purpose it is to undermine the EU. That's extraordinary, and it is a complete departure of everything we've done.”

Host: “You were shocked? You were deeply shocked when you read this?”

Anthony Gardner: “Yes, because it goes even further, much further than anything we saw in the first term. And shocked because there wasn't a word of criticism about Russia, not really a word of criticism about China, and all the criticism about European allies. I mean, this is incredible. It is extraordinary.

Host: “Someone pointed out it could have been written by the Kremlin, and it was certainly applauded officially by the Kremlin.”

Gardner is not mincing words! Calling it "amateurish, ignorant, and a slap in the face" and stressing how this garbage flies in the face of 80 years of bipartisan US policy—that's the voice of an experienced diplomat telling the truth. It takes The White House is actively trying to help the European far-right undermine the EU.

The most damning part is that it could have been "written by the Kremlin," and they literally applauded it. It's clear as day that the whole point of this new US policy is to cozy up to putin by tearing down America’s actual democratic allies. Trump's team is so desperate to please his authoritarian buddies that they've made an official policy of attacking Europe while giving Russia and China a total pass. It's utterly incredible and terrifying.
