Russia will enter where America is retreating? [COMMENTARY]

Trump's administration presented [an exit from 66 global organizations as a complete break with waste, ideology and hostile programs](https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2026/01/withdrawal-from-wasteful-infective-or-harmful-international-organisations/). That's the authoritative version. Reality is different. By leaving selected structures, the United States besides leaves parts of the strategy intended to deal with force below the level of open conflict. The most damaging example is the withdrawal from the European Centre for Excellence on Hybrid Threats in Finland. This is not a method issue. This is not a symbolic issue. This has a direct impact on how to identify, track and respond to hostile actions.
