WASHINGTON, Dec 5 (Reuters) -- The United States will reassert its dominance in the Western Hemisphere, build military strength in the Indo-Pacific, and possibly reassess its relationship with Europe, President Donald Trump said on Friday in a sweeping strategy document that seeks to reframe the country's role in the world. The National Security Strategy, released overnight, described Trump's vision as one of "flexible realism" and argued that the U.S. should revive the 19th century Monroe Doctrine, which declared the Western Hemisphere to be Washington's zone of influence. It also warned that Europe faces "civilizational erasure" and must change course.

Rubio: Here's the problem with vetting people. You can't have a perfect vet no matter who that person is, for a couple reasons. The first is we don't -- you can only vet information that exists, right? So it is possible that in many cases there are things about these people you just don't know. No matter how much you vet them, you just don't have certain information. And in some parts of the world where there's very limited documentation, very limited, you can't just go out and interview people in many cases because of the presence of the Taliban, et cetera. It becomes very difficult. read more

Velvet Underground, "Some Kinda Love":

youtu.be

Some kinds of love
Margarita told Tom
Between thought and expression
Lies a lifetime
Situations arise
Because of the weather
And no kinds of love
Are better than others

Some kinds of love
Margarita told Tom
Like a dirty French novel
The absurd courts the vulgar
And some kinds of love
The possibilities are endless
And for me to miss one
Would seem to be groundless

I heard what you said
Margarita heard Tom
And of course you're a boy
But in that you're not charmless
'Cause a boy is a straight line
That finds a wealth in division
And some kinds of love
Are mistaken for vision

Put jelly on your shoulder
Let us do what you fear most,
That from which you recoil
But which still makes your eyes moist

Put jelly on your shoulder, baby
Lie down upon the carpet
Between thought and expression
Let us now kiss the culprit

I don't know just what it's all about
Just put on your red pajamas and find out
