NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has told Europe it should “keep on dreaming” if it thinks it can defend itself without the support of the United States.
“If anyone thinks here again that the European Union, or Europe as a whole, can defend itself without the US, keep on dreaming. You can’t. We can’t. We need each other,” Rutte said during an address to the European Parliament in Brussels on Monday.
The NATO chief warned European nations they would need to increase defense spending to 10% if they “really want to do it alone,” adding they would need to build up their own nuclear capability, costing billions of euros.


Synergy’s the problem:
Synergy for the enemy, not for us.
Once Trump has used The Insurrection Act to enforce his insurrection against the US Constitution, giving him totalitarian dictatorship,
THEN he de-naturalizes all non-Republicans, suddenly turning 100’s of millions into “illegals”, & ICE’s REAL purpose suddenly is born,
AND he annexes Canada, to enforce his continental-kingdom, using Greenland as a base to snuff Canada’s EU-Lifeline.
Putin’s war-machine is in dire economic straights, though!
Ah, but China will make Putin an offer he can’t refuse:
Putin gets to play “Tzar”, rampaging on Europe all he can, using all the scrounged-lives he can get ( POW’s in China’s possession will likely be a river to Russia, then ),
so long as he accepts China’s supplanting Russians throughout Russia’s government ( think “The Mongol Yoke, revised” ).
THEN, suddenly, the equation’s sooo totally-different, that the EU’s under DIRE existential-threat:
NO help, NO trade, from ANYbody outside the region, economy gutted, having to react 10x as quickly as EU-beaurocracy tolerates, & being butchered exactly as Zelenskiy warned, again & again.
From what I can see, it’ll be 2nd-half of Feb when Trump finally claims his totalitarian kingdom, & begins his PURGE, that the Republicans have been planning openly for years ( their … whatever it was, “Red Tide” or something? their revision of Caesar’s crossing the Rubicon, was news, a few years ago … it wasn’t Project 2025, & it was related to “Red Caesarism” of the Republicans, but it was a specific highjack-the-country plan that had “red” in its name, sometime during the time since covid )
Anyways, the “playing board” that we’re currently seeing, ISN’T the one we’re going to be in, shortly.
Punctuation between Equilibriums!
This, current, equilibrium, is finished, now.
