SECRETARY RUBIO: If one of the reasons why we are in NATO is to have the ability for forces to be deployed in Europe so we could project to other contingencies, and that’s no longer the case, then we have a problem.

This Day (May 6) in 1943, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem wrote the Bulgarian Foreign Minister demanding Jewish children be sent to Poland — not British Mandate Palestine — so they could be murdered. While living as Hitler’s honored guest in Berlin, Grand Mufti Amin al-Husseini — the highest religious authority among Palestinian Arabs — sent a chilling letter to the Bulgarian Foreign Minister. Bulgaria was preparing to allow 4,000 Jewish children and 500 Jewish adults to emigrate to safety in British Mandate Palestine. The Mufti was furious. He immediately intervened with his confidants Himmler and von Ribbentrop to cancel the plan and insisted the Jews — including the children — be sent to Poland instead, where they would be under “strict control.” The Mufti knew exactly what “strict control” in Poland meant in 1943. He had personally toured Nazi concentration camps as a VIP guest of the SS and was impressed by the efficiency at which they killed Jews. The Mufti had already spent years in Berlin broadcasting Nazi radio propaganda calling for the extermination of Jews across the Arab world. He actively recruited Muslims for Waffen-SS units. He lobbied Hitler directly to ensure no Jews would escape to British Mandate Palestine. On November 28, 1941, Hitler had assured him: “Germany is determined… to call on the European nations one by one to solve the Jewish problem and, at the proper moment, to address the same appeal to non-European peoples.” The Mufti took that promise seriously and worked tirelessly to make sure it was fulfilled. Even after the war, the Nazi-Arab alliance against Jews continued. Arab states (especially Egypt and Syria) recruited former Nazi war criminals and rocket scientists to build missile programs to target Israel and modernize anti-Israel propaganda with Nazi antisemitic imagery and tactics, giving these Nazis the opportunity to continue the Holocaust, but now against the Jewish state. The Mufti’s letter on May 6, 1943, is a stark reminder that the goal was never “borders” for two states. The goal was the elimination of Jews. That same eliminationist ideology has never gone away. It has simply found new flowery language and new champions for the "cause."

Trump thinks Europe needs NATO more than America does. His generals know better. Here’s what the US loses without it. 1. Its European base network Over 50 US military bases across Europe housing 84,000 troops. Ramstein in Germany is the largest US air base outside America and the hub for every US operation in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia. RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk is home to the only US F-35 wing in Europe, the same base the F-15 shot down over Iran last week flew from. These aren’t gifts to Europe. They are America’s front door to the rest of the world. 2. The geography it can never replace The US sits thousands of miles from every major conflict zone on earth. Europe puts American forces within striking distance of the Middle East, North Africa, the Sahel, the Arctic and Russia’s western border. No aircraft carrier replaces an entire continent. Without European bases America is projecting power across two oceans from a single landmass. That is not a superpower posture, it is an island. 3. Its intelligence network GCHQ, MI6 and European intelligence agencies feed directly into US operations. Five Eyes gives America more global surveillance reach than any other arrangement in history. Lose NATO and that pipeline closes. 4. Two allied nuclear powers The UK and France have independent nuclear arsenals. Outside NATO those weapons are no longer guaranteed to be on America’s side. That is two fewer nuclear powers in your corner. 5. Its arms export market European NATO members are America’s biggest weapons customers. F-35s, Apaches and Patriot missiles, hundreds of billions in contracts. If Europe goes it alone they buy European. Lockheed Martin and Boeing lose their biggest export market overnight. 6. The dollar’s global dominance NATO helps underpins the security order that keeps allies trading in dollars and holding dollar reserves. Collapse that alliance and the shift to alternative currencies accelerates. No single advantage matters more to American prosperity. 7. A trillion-dollar insurance policy 31 other countries have a legal obligation to fight for America if attacked. The only time Article 5 was ever triggered was to defend the US after 9/11. Over 1,100 allied soldiers died in Afghanistan answering that call. No other country on earth has anything close to this. 8. Its seat at the head of the table NATO makes America the leader of the free world. Without it the US is just another big country with a big army stranded between two oceans with no allies. China and Russia would celebrate for a decade.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Without NATO, America doesn’t gain independence. It loses an empire.

‼️🇺🇸🇪🇺 Trump: I am very, very disappointed in NATO because they weren’t there. He says the U.S. has spent “trillions” protecting Europe from Russia while carrying the alliance for decades. You know, we spend trillions of dollars on NATO in order to protect Europe from Russia, and we’ve always been there... They can’t do it without us.
