‘Enemies of America’ List Targets Tonga, Tuvalu & Vanuatu”

Small Nations, Big Panic: Amid a half‑empty military parade, Rubio’s passport paranoia exposes U.S. decline—and absurd fears of three micro‑states

On the same day that Donald Trump presided over a really embarrassing military parade in Washington D.C, someone at the State Department quietly slipped out the “Enemies of America” memo—and, bafflingly, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu made the cut.

Trump’s flunkies bragged that 250,000 people (a figure nobody outside the cult believes - 20,000 is an independent number). That’s roughly half the combined population of the freshly proposed Pacific foes—a trio of nations totaling around 434,000 souls. Tuvalu alone barely tops 9,600, about the same number of people who stroll into Foggy Bottom every morning—and none are lining up to invade the Potomac.

So what’s got Secretary of State Marco Rubio losing sleep over the eight atolls of Tuvalu that together cover just 14% the land area of Washington, D.C.? His memo says it’s passports—they’re “questionable” on security grounds. But except for Vanuatu, there’s no credible evidence these tiny nations are shipping jihadists through Funafuti.

In reality this business of insulting three small nations, who have been supportive of U.S foreign policy for decades, underscores Washington’s deep decline and fall; no Pacific nation would ever endorse a banning order on a neighbour. 

 Washington Post reported (paywalled) Trump was considering significantly expanding its travel restrictions by potentially banning citizens of 36 additional countries from entering the United States.
