The Rise of Populism in Europe - USAWC Panel - Great Decisions 2019

Opposition to immigration was the prime driver of support for Brexit; it brought a far-right party to the German Bundestag for the first time since the 1950s. These parties are invariably illiberal, anti-American, anti-NATO and pro-Kremlin, making their rise a matter of grave concern for the national security interests of the United States.
