But wait! There's more! Last month, U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin returned from a trip to Poland and Hungary with a message: "I think the lessons of how both countries in their different ways came out of authoritarian government were really important. There is a playbook for these authoritarians, but there is also a playbook to get out of it." Slotkin is not just any senator. She is a former CIA analyst, recruited after 9/11, who served three tours in Iraq, then worked on the National Security Council under Bush and Obama before becoming a senior Pentagon official under Obama prior to entering Congress in 2019 and the Senate in 2025. Earlier this year at the Munich Security Conference, she shared a panel with Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, the same Sikorski who is now defending the Tusk regime's police takeover of the Constitutional Tribunal to the world as "the restoration of the rule of law." A former CIA officer tours Poland, then speaks openly about a "playbook" to get rid of governments she terms authoritarian. Weeks later, the Tusk government sends riot police to seize Poland's Supreme Court, and her Munich panel partner is the one selling it abroad. So what exactly is in this playbook? And who is running it: Brussels or Langley?.
