US President Donald J. Trump has disrupted the old geopolitical arrangements, favoring peace and prosperity over the ‘forever wars’ of the Globalist warmongers.
Now, Europe is eyeing a future in which the continent has to pay for its own Defense – and they are panicking.
Because Europe is vulnerable, and everyone knows it.
Bloomberg reported:
“Lacking troops, air defenses and ammunition, the continent’s front-line defenses are only equipped to repel an invasion from Russia for weeks at best without the US, according to defense officials, who asked not to be identified discussing sensitive information. Even if a complete American withdrawal is seen as extremely remote, a reduced US presence would also have an impact.”
Europe depends on the US for communications, intelligence, and logistics, not to mention raw firepower.
The continent foolishly disarmed after the Cold War while electing a generation of leaders constantly fanning the flames of a confrontation with Russia, escalating the situation nonstop.
As the US opts for peace, the Globalists have responded with a show of solidarity to Ukraine’s failed regime and a massive wave of cash, both to Kiev’s war effort and to their own rapid rearmament.
The UK plans will take away money from foreign aid to use in its military, while Germany will scrap constitutional borrowing restrictions to spend like there’s no tomorrow.
“’We see that the European Union is now very actively discussing the topic of the militarization of the EU’, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday. ‘All of this militarization is happening mainly against Russia, which, of course, could potentially be a subject of deep concern for us and require appropriate countermeasures to ensure our security’.”
After years of underinvestment in Defense, accustomed to relying on the U.S. to replace the American logistics, intelligence and weapons systems could take more than half a decade.
“Precise data on Europe’s capabilities and stockpiles are closely held. But behind the scenes, defense officials warn that in extreme scenarios the region’s inventories of aircraft missiles could quickly start to run short without the US, according to some estimates. Ammunition may run low within days and air defenses would be unable to provide sufficient cover for ground operations.”
The pressure is now on France and the UK, which have limited arsenals of nuclear weapons, to provide a deterrence.
“Europe would struggle to manage a defensive operation on its own. The US operates 17 sophisticated spy planes — packed with equipment to detect enemy radio, radar and communications — while the UK only has three.”
Of course, such a state of defense calamity does not happen overnight, it is the ‘proud’ work of generations of incompetent Europeans overeager to fight Russia – but with American military might.
“Over the past 30 years, core European NATO members have reduced the number of active troops by nearly 50%. In addition to combat-ready personnel, the shortages extend to the brain trust of senior officers, planners and strategists.”
