The US new National Security Strategy
you're [Europe] anti-American by definition. And this is the national security strategy of the United States that seeks to promote American security interests. So don't be surprised that we've turned against Europe. And this is a fundamental turn. This isn't you know a little lover's spat. This isn't a quarrel that will be papered over. This is of a fundamental nature. Europe is on a pathway according to the Trump administration to civilizational erasure. That means you're gone. You're doing it to yourself. We have decided that we will try to get those European nations, not the European Union, not the European community, those European nations that are worth saving on the right trajectory. But NATO is finished. I hope people understand that too because the Trump administration has said there are members of NATO today who don't reflect the cultural values um and realities of the nations that signed the charter and therefore they are incompatible with what we believe should be defensed under the charter.

Europe better wake the hell up because America's waking up. We're sick and tired of sending money your way of saving your asses only to have you sit there and spit in our face. Look, there's ways to criticize America. We deserve to be criticized. We are not perfect. We have done a lot of things wrong. And there I have no problem with pe people holding us to account. But when you owe your very existence to the blood of Americans, you better bite your tongue when you start to say certain things. or don't be surprised when we turn around and hold you to account. And that's what's happening today. You are being held to account by a generation of Americans who are tired of playing the game. We're not going to underwrite your security with a blank check anymore and we're not going to stand by idly while you plot against us.

Russia was a partner of stability. And therefore, anything that seeks to undermine this strategic decision to be have a stable relationship with Russia becomes the enemy. And Germany, you're now the enemy. You're the official enemy of the United States. Get used to it. France, the same thing. I mean, Macron actively conspiring against the United States right now. Starmer, the same thing. I mean, there was a rumor going out that they're talking about divesting themselves of American treasuries. Play the game. Really? I mean, there's the old fool around and then you will find out. We will crush you. We will destroy you. That will be the end of Europe.

NATO can't have a large scale military exercise without the United States involvement. We're not going to be involved. We're going to start to withdraw a whole bunch of critical support to NATO while we still be in NATO. We're just going to tell the Europeans, you gota you got to do it. Europe can't do it. Europe doesn't have logistical infrastructure that can unify Europe. They don't have a communications framework that can unify Europe. They were relying on the United States for this forever. Um and so then as Europe starts to collapse, the expense of sustaining uh NATO without the United States uh becomes prohibitive and nations are going to opt out, especially when the United States offers them bilateral security arrangements. And this is what's going to be the end of NATO when the United States moves away from collective security. And we already have. Scott Bessett made it clear that if Russia attacks NATO, we're not going to come screaming in with troops. We'll be willing to sell you some equipment. Maybe that's it. Of course, that's all that's required under Article 5. People haven't read it very closely if they think that it automatically requires us to send troops in. But we're done with that. So we are getting to a situation where if a European nation behaves irresponsibly and provokes Russia and Russia attacks it that there isn't going to be a collective response by NATO because NATO can't collectively respond without the United States and we're opting out of that. We we view Europe as an irresponsible entity right now.
Bill to Remove the United States from NATO
“NATO is a Cold War relic. We should withdraw from NATO and use that money to defend our own country, not socialist countries,” said Rep. Thomas Massie. “NATO was created to counter the Soviet Union, which collapsed over thirty years ago. Since then, U.S. participation has cost taxpayers trillions of dollars and continues to risk U.S. involvement in foreign wars. Our Constitution did not authorize permanent foreign entanglements, something our Founding Fathers explicitly warned us against. America should not be the world’s security blanket—especially when wealthy countries refuse to pay for their own defense.”

The beginning of the end of EU
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot wrote on X that the EU decision means that “no one will decide in place of the Europeans the use of these funds.” Trump’s NSS document made the point clear that many EU governments are agreeing with that the EU is facing ‘civilisational erasure’ because of its immigration policies and ‘censorship of free speech.’ If you read the NSS carefully, you will see that it focus US relationships with European countries on a few nations with like-minded over these issues. This includes Austria, Hungary, Italy and Poland were listed by the NSS as countries America should “work more with”, for the ultimate goal of “pulling them away from” the EU.
Belgium holds $183 billion at Euroclear. Its Prime Minister calls the competing EU plan “fundamentally wrong” and warns Russian litigation could “mean bankruptcy for Belgium.”
www.armstrongeconomics.com - A Word of Warning Dealing with the EU
There is talk of now forming a new five-power forum with China and Russia, according to Defense One and other outlets. The EU is self-destructing. If the people demand that Brussels reverse its policies, then perhaps the EU can be saved. But that seems unlikely. The EU will break up and perhaps that will unfold because of war. The various member states need economic reform badly. The same Marxist policies that took down Russia and China are alive in the EU and has undermined their economy dramatically.
is the best interest of the United States to have solid relations with Russia. You don't have to be their friend. You don't have to like them even, but you do have to have stable relations whether you want to or not. unless you want to cut your own throat, which I guess some in Europe seem to have this insatiable desire to do. Mark Rut being one of them. But the but President Trump's instincts are good here. And while I don't hesitate to call him out on some other things, he's wrong. He gets my full endorsement here. Anything you can do to stabilise relations with the biggest nuclear weapons state on the planet in Russia that now has maybe the biggest uh active duty army on the planet. If if maybe it's one and two with China two and one, hard to know what the actual numbers are at the moment, but it's one of the tallest. What possible benefit does it have for the United States to have an antagonistic relation with that power? Because if you have just an antagonistic relationship as Europe does right now, you have no uh influence at all. You forfeit willingly of your own valition. you forfeit any potential to influence the Russian state and that's what is the currently the stated in in Europe. This exposes one of the major major intellectual flaws and shortcomings of the entire European so-called elite is that they have sabotaged their own interest by saying no,

the problem is that a guy like Jake Sullivan with all that talent should be thinking critically. He should be thinking strategically. He should not be allowing the party line to get in the way of his thinking about how to deal with Ukraine. It's just very hard for the Jake Sullivanss and the General Kees of the world to maneuver outside of that narrow narrative that they're consigned to defending. And the end result of this is that our foreign policy is really messed up because people in positions of power are not thinking strategically. And then the mainstream media is in deep trouble because most people understand that they just parrot the party line and the party line is bankrupt.
[. . .]
these elites like John Bolton who say don't take the path that's logical and rational now to end this war that benefits who what's left of Ukraine and definitely benefits all of the western world maybe not the the elites in the military-industrial complex because they are lusting after more because they want more even though they're having a lot right now and they're going to have a lot even if the war ends today they're still going to have a lot of money for a long time to come just because of the fear of what's happening here but That's not enough. Apparently, they want to go further. And that is one of the real dark sides of of our world.
