Good Morning from Germany, a country whose influence on the world stage is fading. Its share of global GDP is expected to fall to 4% by 2030.

My advice: The current narrative that Gulf countries are not aligned with the United States is simply false. Governments, especially in Europe, that adopt reflexively anti-Trump positions and assume the Gulf does not view the IRGC as a threat will find themselves isolated from both Washington and Gulf capitals, with long-term consequences including reduced access to Gulf capital and weaker leverage in energy negotiations.

The unfortunate consequences for Europe of the last month will reverberate for decades.

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.
