TRUMP IS PUSHING EUROPE’S FLACCID ESTABLISHMENT TOWARD ROBUST NATIONALISM AND STRENGTH. HE’S TELLING THEM THE ERA OF AMERICAN INDULGENCES IS OVER: IF YOU WANT AMERICAN PROTECTION, PAY FOR IT. IF YOU WANT ACCESS TO AMERICAN MARKETS, OPEN YOURS. IF YOU WANT AMERICAN SUPPORT, STAND WITH US WHEN IT MATTERS. NO MORE FREE RIDES.
THE EUROPEANS HAVE A CHOICE: THEY CAN ACCEPT THIS NEW REALITY AND ADJUST… AND THEN SPEND MORE ON DEFENSE, FIX THEIR ECONOMIES, REFORM THEIR IMIGRATION POLICIES, AND REBUILD THEIR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE. OR THEY CAN RESIST CHANGE… AND PERISH.
