THAT IS THE FINAL GOAL Psalm 57:6 They have dug a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Just an estimation: - Europe opens the doors to massive Muslim immigration - Gives them huge benefits and welfare paid by taxpayers - Lets their numbers grow ("humanitarian reasons") - Uses them as the perfect weapon to storm and destabilize the USA - Trump leaves NATO - Trump strikes Iran - EU military expenses grow - EU goes on sending money to Ukraine - Muslims get furious at the USA - Iran conflict triggers energy and economic crisis in Europe - Muslim storm hits the USA - Trump and US military are ready and stop the storm - Europe runs out of money — welfare and benefits to Muslims are cut - Trump tells the world that EU leaders have exploited Muslims (while cutting their free benefits) - Muslims turn in fury against the EU enemies of Trump - Trump wins against his enemies Revelation 19:17-18; 19-21

🇺🇸 🇪🇺 Here's the thing that should make NATO nervous. We just proved that we can win a major war and remove a major threat without their help. They just became irrelevant. Let's see how their socialist programs do when they have to start spending 15% of their budget on defense!

@mitchellvii Apparently, the cool thing to say in the UK and Europe is that the U.S. has actually lost the war. They call Ukraine a European victory and Iran a U.S. defeat. It’ll be interesting to watch when the Europeans are on their own militarily.

Let’s just be honest. The REASON that Starmer refuses to support the US-Israel war on the Islamic Republic of Iran is because he wants as many Muslims in the UK voting Labour on May 7th. He will do anything and sacrifice all integrity to get that vote. He’s a coward

@NotTheirScript You pay much lower levels of taxation in the US. Our income tax and equivalent National Insurance levels are both higher allowing the UK to have a NHS.

One thing that I have learned by going back and forth with Europeans about NATO is their delusion is staggering. They put out infographics about how they “pay 90% of their own defense” while their militaries cant field a combat-ready division without calling Washington. They tell us to pull out while fighting a war with US weapons. They say nobody gives a F*ck anymore while their entire security architecture runs on American hardware, American intel, and American nukes they dont have. And then in the next breath they lecture us about healthcare. You want to know why we dont have socialized healthcare and maternity leave? Because for 75 years the money went to defending a continent that has benefited so much from the US, that they think it’s easy. The entitlement is just annoying.

@MDJD2 @MsMelChen NATO earned the trashing. You're all thriving on your current welfare status because of London's financial imperialism. You have enjoyed the fruits of the "forever wars" and don't seem to comprehend how a deindustrialized nation accomplishes that welfare.

Let’s be real here. Europe has spent decades freeloading on American security. Even now, with every NATO member finally hitting the 2% GDP target in 2025. But beyond the financial contributions, the real rupture is philosophical and the Iran crisis has shown a spotlight on it. Europe worships process. Endless committees, consultations, and “predictability.” Macron actually calls it a virtue. For Trump, this is paralysis as his style is to articulate a threat, fix a target, and act. The Americans are men of conviction and purpose. Europe on the other hand lives by bureaucratic liturgy and in high-minded abstractions. Sure, Americans might make mistakes when acting. But Europe never considers what the costs of not acting actually are. Just look at how their nations are doing on various fronts, especially on the border crisis, and you see the same cancerous rot that undergirds their foreign policy approach play out domestically. It's the same problem on a different scale. Iran is currently holding the Strait of Hormuz hostage, choking 20% of global oil and spiking prices past $100 a barrel. Meanwhile, the regime is bleeding from strikes, its nuclear ambitions are still alive despite degraded capability, and its proxies are firing missiles at allies and oil tankers. If this isn’t a clear and present danger to the global economy - of which Europe is a part - then I don’t know what is. Yet when Washington asked to use European bases to finish the job - bases the US has defended for generations, the response was hesitation and hand-wringing. The US did strike from RAF Fairford, but only after warnings that British soil could become a “legitimate target.” If you cannot agree that a theocratic regime with eschatological ambitions who have shown no restraint in hitting out at Gulf countries and threatening the world’s energy jugular is an enemy worth confronting, then what, exactly, are we allies about? Europe loves to preen about being tough on Russia. They issue condemnations and speeches and slap sanctions that hardly work to cripple the Russian economy. Now here was a chance to do something concrete: let the Americans use the bases they already pay for, help clear the Strait, and actually degrade the Iranian war machine that arms Moscow’s proxies. Turmp didn’t ask for boots on the ground or any kind of more offensive action. All he wanted was permission to operate from the infrastructure America has underwritten for decades. They couldn’t even manage that. So can you blame the Americans for seeing NATO for what it is? A paper-tiger alliance that expects Washington to bleed and pay while Brussels and London convenes and deliberates. If Europe refuses to treat Iran as the threat it is while happily letting American power keep the Strait open and the lights on, then the alliance is already dead. Trump is simply stating the obvious and the Americans are becoming very reluctant to subsidize the European delusion any longer.

@MsMelChen Then the US should pull out of NATO and leave Europe alone. Public support for US in Europe has reached an all time low, and many in Europe no longer see any future in the alliance.

This is the most articulate version of the American frustration with NATO that exists on the timeline right now. The philosophical split is real. America acts and makes mistakes. Europe deliberates and makes none because it never acts. Both sides are right about the other's weakness and blind to their own.

@MsMelChen Lots of words but the very basis is flawed. NATO wasn't formed by Trump and so doesnt have to bend to him. No other American leader has had or caused the issues with NATO and allies that he has.

@SteveEm64916 @Arrogance_0024 Not over my head, I presume you mean "ad hominem". My point was, much as in your reply, ykubtake a piece of information and blow it up to suit your argument. The UK is not flooded with muslims, lovely or otherwise, nor are half our cities on fire. I agree on the NATO funding

Why did NATO allies follow Bush in Iraq but refuse to follow Trump in Iran? What exactly has changed? What is the "problem" now? Or should I rather say: WHO is the problem??

Trump is a badass dealer. He started war with Iran. Iran blocked Strait of Hormuz and stopped the sale of oil to Europe. UK is affected. And UK didn't join Trump when Trump asked for their help. Now, UK is suffering shortfall in oil supply. And Trump is telling them to buy from him or go and open the Strait of Hormuz by themselves. Either way, Trump wins.

So many people supporting Trump, stating "played a blinder against NATO", are all the lives lost in the Middle East worth it just for Trump to prove a point to NATO?

@SteveEm64916 @Arrogance_0024 It is a truly Trumpian post you have made there. Wildly inaccurate, lacking in any sort of facts but stated with such ferocity that I am sure you believe it is true

Well, as soon as Trump called NATO out on there not spending anything on their own defense, leaving it up to America, that pissed all you deadbeats off. on top of that, you've all flooded your countryS with lovely Muslims and you're all such cowards and you allow them to rape your women, burn down half your cities so forth. Most of your countries couldn't help America anyway because you have no military. Germany is a military joke, and 90% of Polish men would refuse to serve in the military. Macron is absolutely terrified by your Muslim population. the prime minister of England makes Liberace look like Napoleon. They do have a Navy anymore As a tribute to France, I am included your National flag in this post. As bellicose and narcissistic as trump can be he is still vastly superior to what do you have in Europe with the possible exception of Poland Hungary and Italy. Give me a break with French philosophy, Michel Foucault and Louis Althusser?

The UK initially refuses to provide any help to the US in the war with the psychopaths in Tehran. The UK continually insists it is “not our war” Now, President Trump is saying opening the Strait of Hormuz is not his problem. Karma.
