The 27 leaders of the European Union countries are meeting tomorrow, Thursday, in Brussels with an urgent agenda to figure out what to do with Ukraine and their own security state if the USA draws-down military support.
After years of taking little action, the EU leaders are now facing a crisis situation trying to figure out how to pay for expanded military for their own defense. The latest proposal from EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen calls for €800 billion in EU defense spending, much of it from secured loans to various EU countries.
It seems rather odd to read the responses from EU leaders who are in crisis mode because they face the potential of President Trump pulling back U.S. military, and they worry about the inability to defend themselves. They act like this is a new development, while the reality is that President Trump has been repeating his warning for years.
(Politico) – […] “Europe faces a clear and present danger on a scale that none of us has seen in our adult lifetime,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote to EU leaders on Tuesday. “The future of a free and sovereign Ukraine ― of a safe and prosperous Europe ― is on the line.”
[…] “The nightmare scenario is that the U.S. announces a deal soon that accepts most of Russia’s demands and then tells Ukraine and Europe to take it or leave it,” said Malcolm Chalmers, deputy director general at the Royal United Services Institute in London.
[…] “Defense spending is becoming a fixed cost,” a European diplomat said. “We have switched off the sun and now we need to pay everyday for the heating … Every day you need to pay for ammunition, at least for several years, until Trump is dead.”
[…] The commission is proposing to loosen EU spending rules to allow governments to boost their military. According to von der Leyen, allowing countries to increase defense spending equivalent to 1.5 percent of gross domestic product over four years would translate into about €650 billion across the bloc. (Via Politico)
If the EU cannot figure out how to defend themselves; how the heck are they going to send military support to Ukraine?
Holy Father in Heaven, please bless and protect President Trump and everyone around him. Let no harm come to them. Please strengthen President Trump so he can stand against the evil minions of Satan as they plot against him.
Holy God, please punish these evil doers. Pour out your righteous anger on top of them and destroy their plans.
I pray this in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.
Amen
Holy God, please punish these evil doers. Pour out your righteous anger on top of them and destroy their plans.
Good prayer, Bruce Gordon. I wish I knew how to pray like that!
If the EU is so insistent that the Ukraine be guided and hand held through their fight, they, the EU, may fully pay for any and all assistance! Biden emptied the piggybank in the USA.
I might also suggest that the EU help the Ukraine by finding all the BILLIONS of hidden dollars given to the Ukraine. The money transfers can be tracked to and quite probably traced to the ultimate receiver. All of those disrespectful antics last night showed more than a few worried members.
Love the photo, Sundance. The snarky wise kitty would make me happy today!
Money no longer matters to Europe. The future is rare earth, they have none, and America won’t help them to get some!
China (BRICS) has the most, and then us.
Russia (BRICS), Brazil(BRICS), South Africa(BRICS) Vietnam, and of course GREENLAND has vast deposits.
Europe stared into the abyss, and no rare earth minerals stared back at them!
Time for America to stop paying and fighting Europe’s wars.
Not one dime and not one drop of blood ever again.
This America First attitude will live on and grow stronger after Trump passes.
Since money is fungible, it stands to reason that European leaders have calculated that US aid to Europe can be misdirected and used for their own pet projects: Chiefly mass immigration — thereby funding social projects that SUPPORT the millions of alien and unassimilable foreigners with whom they aim to replace their own peoples. Let the Americans be their “back stop” military security (mostly via NATO). Meanwhile, European states can use that savings (unpaid NATO dues) for, essentially, DEI — that is, the “social justice programs” which the commie Europeans worship so ardently.
And by the way, human nature dictates that resentment and envy are the driving SINS that motivate European leaders to suck Americans dry — in short: PRIDE.
It’s often the case that the weak are contemptuous of the strong, that very reason: PRIDE, which cometh before a fall.
Ask Lucifer.
It’s actually a haughty spirit comes before a fall and pride comes before destruction. Proverbs 16: 18
And I’m f**ing tired of their arrogant, prideful ways.
Very much true.
The invasion of illegals is just like covid.
The money given to doctors and hospitals to diagnose covid. Give covid shots and then ventulators. All taxpayers money.
Same with illegals. Money received from entry. Building and housing. Informing the media is a good thing. All money spent covered under various causes.
The Marshall Plan was supposed to try to prevent the spread of Marxism in Europe. Ultimately that objective has failed. Instead, because the US has been paying the lion’s share of NATO defense spending, etc, all these decades since 1945, the Euros have been free to use their financial resources to set up their Socialist programs, which include free healthcare, free college education, and 6 weeks paid vacation/year for all, among other things. What has the US taxpayer gotten out of any of this? Answer: Debt, empty bank accounts, 60 hour work weeks, substandard public education, poor health.
European’s get a two week vacation every three months and we pay for it!
How pitiful !
How dangerous!!
This guy should be court-marshalled.
How dare he say this:
“The nightmare scenario is that the U.S. announces a deal soon that accepts most of Russia’s demands and then tells Ukraine and Europe to take it or leave it,” said Malcolm Chalmers, deputy director general at the Royal United Services Institute in London.
[…] “Defense spending is becoming a fixed cost,” a European diplomat said. “We have switched off the sun and now we need to pay everyday for the heating … Every day you need to pay for ammunition, at least for several years, until Trump is dead.”
The sun is the USA.
This guy = European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen?
(Psst, Ursula is a woman, meaning no XY chromosomes)
Dismantle the EU, NATO and while we are at it the UN. No trade agreements with the EU. Only bi-lateral agreements with individual countries. Get rid of the socialist bureaucrats.
Yes, ignore the EU. The EU limiting defense spending against earlier NATO agreements is INSANE!!!!
They said it. They think/hope that after “Trump” leaves office, that they can have things go back to the way they were.
The statement “until Trump is dead” sadly tells us where they are at. Pathetic.
47 needs to know who said it. The last four words are not acceptable.
When you re-read all of SD’s article, it actually tells Americans exactly what our place is supposed to be in Europe.
This is how the elites truly feel about 47.
It’s the attitude of old money vs new money.
We are the New Money.
The distant of kin.
We are those the Crown looks down on but tolerates because of our rich bounty.
We are grateful for a country so full of blessings that we wish to share it. We wish to help out even though we know we have been somewhat abused (i.e. Nato %of GDP).
The whole time, Old Money is awaiting our demise. Waiting for the machine printing the green backs to run out of ink.
Thank God for a new president who calls it what it is.
Pray for divine protection for 47, his family, his cabinet, his administration, his entourages, his travels, his people, etc.
Pray for truth to be known to all.
Again, the originator of this quote needs to come to light!
It seems that in terms of destruction and dismantling Russia isn’t the only target.
Narcissistic psychopaths.
Good, have a mtg and figure out, if anything, how to be more appreciative of US taxpayers and our chosen leader.
They sound like the Defund the Police weirdos when there’s a crime in their neighborhood but they’ve run the police out of town…
Make your own plans dopey EU if your socialism is so great you shouldn’t have a problem.Find a new socialist/globalist sugar daddy or put your hand in your own pockets ,you do have a ready made army of imported young men after all.
They have young men, all right. Young men who, with a little military training, will turn and bite off the hand that recruited them, and then, take over their countries!
“You do have a ready made army of imported young men after all.”
Yes, and good luck conscripting them. Many may have come with intentions to utilize their military training one day, but fighting the Russians in Ukraine probably wasn’t on their To Do list.
Did the EU assume the USA would be fighting this war for Ukraine…without their support?
Oh, I’m sure they’d provide nominal support. Blankets, perhaps. Maybe the odd croissant.
Aw cute, they let the midget without a suit in.
I cannot believe those last two quotes!

Here’s the scenario : You live in rural Ireland, one of the most peaceful places on planet Earth. It’s so quiet, you can hear the birds chirp. You know all your neighbours, many are family members. It’s a tight-knit community. One day, the government announced that they would open a migrant camp in your village and fill it with strange foreign men. State forces arrive, push you aside, and bully you in your own home. They erect walls and create a military like compound with CCTV pointing at you, not the migrants. Then the roads are blocked and you can no longer access parts of your village you frequented for decades. In the end, you’re left terrified and anxious, with hundreds of migrants wandering around your community calling you racist and acting like it’s their home now. This is reality in Ireland.

“Until Trump is dead”? Jesus, these sick satanic Marxist’s have a one-track mind.
The EU Elites have reached the moment when spending other people’s money to support their Socialist agenda has been tapped out, as is what happens every time Socialism has been tried throughout world history. Eventually one runs out of other people’s money. Let the wailing and finger-pointing begin. It will fall on US taxpayer’s deaf ears. The EU’s apparent entitlement and delusional fantasy of the US as a serf colony to support their aristocracy is coming crashing down. Maybe they never dreamed the Marshall Plan would end some decade? Thank God we finally have a President like DJT who puts America first.
” Every day you need to pay for ammunition, at least for several years, until Trump is dead.”
Do I hear a threat to assassinate DJT in there from one of the “Diplomats”? We know that elements of British Intelligence were involved in the plot to rig the 2016 election against Trump, and there are pro-Ukrainian terrorists threatening both Trump & JD Vance. Who else is coming after our President besides the enemies we are already well aware of?
Get ready for massive foreign interference attempts against our sovereignty and future elections. Because rather than learning to take financial responsibility for themselves, these bloated globalist Elites will try their best to get another moronic Biden-type puppet in the WH, who will cooperate with their initiatives, which appear to include re-establishing the US as a serf colony, destroying the US economy, careening toward WW3, and empowering China to become the new global superpower.
Thats the point of poking the bear; the goal for them remains the vast Wealth of Russia, by Regime change, then balkanisation, then pillage the natural resources.
And, they will not, can not give up on this insane scheme, because they need OPM, and they can’t get it from us, any more.
Best nightmare ever!

[…] “Defense spending is becoming a fixed cost,” a European diplomat said. “We have switched off the sun and now we need to pay everyday for the heating … Every day you need to pay for ammunition, at least for several years, until Trump is dead.”
DID YOU SEE THAT??
”…until TRUMP IS DEAD.”
PLEASE PRESIDENT TRUMP, DO NOT ATTEND THAT STATE DINNER INVITATION FROM CHARLES! WE NEED YOU!
Also, can you BELIEVE that these people feel it is preposterous their countries must budget for their OWN DEFENSE! AND RESENT US FOR THAT! Military spending is and has been a HUGE chunk of OUR spending for ages!
Exactly like some people respond to welfare assistance – at first, they are thankful, then, later, if they’re denied that assistance, they become enraged, because “IT’S THEIRS, and they have a RIGHT TO IT!
Satan’s people have the same mindset, the world over.
Notice the “until TRUMP IS DEAD” statement was attributed to an unidentified “European diplomat.”
That is a serious threat like Zelenskyy’s comment seemed (to me) about the ocean when he was visiting President Trump in the Oval Office.
If you’re righteously pissed off about how the war in Ukraine is making out these days, you can etch your name in the history books and keep the Ukrainian children from being conscripted into the ranks, which is quite confusing since President Zelenskyy said fewer than 50,000 have been killed in three years of fighting (other experts suggest more than one million, but is there really a difference between 50,000 and a million in a nation with a population smaller than California’s?).
I don’t think I need to sell you on this once in a lifetime opportunity any further. Here is your form for signing up for the defense of Ukraine. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by!

Macron doesn’t have the authority to spread nukes around the EU and beyond.
.
Someone doesn’t know what blitzkrieg means, and it’s unlikely a Russian would use the term. Twenty million dead.
MSM narrative: Putin is Hitler like Trump and on the verge of invading Europe (Blitzkrieg), remember?
20 million dead?
*sorry I had to relocate my comment before I read your reply.
The attitude of European elites is summed up perfectly by this diplomat who says, “We have switched off the sun,” (translation: U.S. taxpayers aren’t footing the bill for Europe’s defense anymore), “and now we need to pay everyday for the heating …at least for several years, until Trump is dead.”
“After years of taking little action, the EU leaders are now facing a crisis situation trying to figure out how to pay for expanded military for their own defense.”
To paraphrase Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk;
“500 million European Union members are asking 300 million Americans to defend them against 140 million Russians.”
The European Union is not the global force it thinks it is.

“Every day you need to pay for ammunition, at least for several years, until Trump is dead.” The European globalists see America as their piggybank. With Trump gone, they can resume the withdrawals. This stems from the Bank of England’s continued claim of colonial debt for two and a half centuries.
Time to auction off some of the jewelry and paintings.
That portrait of the EU gathering with Zelenskyy . . . it looks so grand and glorious . . . how do they pay for even the heating of that place?
Nancy Pelosi was on one of those European junkets at someone’s palace when she broke her hip recently.
Did you see Nancy Pelosi last night at the President’s speech?
My Mom has figured out that it was a 007 cane flask from which she was discreetly sipping a Stinger. The scarf wrapped around it was helpful to catch any errant drips.
Oh wow. Your mom is correct I think. I was studying clips of Nancy Pelosi today and I couldn’t figure out what she was doing with that scarf and cane! That must have been it.
My husband tells me he used to have ski poles that had a flask in them.
They really are going full retard…
…and the little Napoleon is the looniest of all.

Quickest way to get democrats to oppose the war in Ukraine? Start a rumor that Trump is for it.
Europe’s free ride is coming to an end. They’ve been living high on the teet of the American taxpayer. All the great social benefits and free security is over and the people at the top are sweating bullets because they’ve taken the credit for American largesse and stupidity. Their days are numbered. Tough decisions by real leaders are needed now.
Is russia honestly their enemy, if not, why spend so much money on military crap. Maybe they need to spend more money on taking communications classes and how to use the internet.
I didn’t like blatant death threat aimed at President Trump. They’re skating on thin ice over there.
They can all cry us an atmospheric river far I’m concerned.
The American People are sick and tired of being the world police. They made their own bed, let ’em lay in it.
Notice that Politico did not mention the name or country of the person who made this vile comment, referring to him or her only as a Europeon diplomat.
[…] “Defense spending is becoming a fixed cost,” a European diplomat said. “We have switched off the sun and now we need to pay everyday for the heating … Every day you need to pay for ammunition, at least for several years, until Trump is dead.”
I call such writing crap journalism.
They created a European UNION but forgot to create a military UNION. It’s been 33 years. USA has been an enabler. .No more though!!!
I pray you’re right.
Amen.
Kinda reminds me of line from the Simpsons;
“Dad, remember your promise?”
“Yup. Once you’re 18 you’re out the door!”
The Eurotrash aren’t ready for the harsh realities of “adulting” after 80 years of sucking at Uncle Sugar’s teats.
There’s no way they’ll cut back their bloated welfare states or deport the savages draining it.
Buy stock in whichever company makes Orville Reddenbacher. This gon’ be LIT!
Until Trump is dead? What kind of talk is that? Super disturbing.
