No doubt they’ll be laughing at Trump again

Monday-Tuesday blog

About 7 years ago, German UN officials giggled and mocked when President Donald Trump warned Germany about its dependence on Russia for oil and gas:

After all, Trump was supposedly an ignorant oaf while those supercilliously mocking him were highly-intelligent, sophisticated diplomats. We all know how that turned out.

I expect Europe’s and Britain’s leaders will all be laughing with derision again as a new National Security report issued by the White House predicts Europe faces “civilisational erasure” if it does not cut migration.

The Continent will be “unrecognisable in 20 years or less” if present trends continue, the 29-page document warns, adding that several nations could be “majority non-European”.

The strategy document, which lays out the Trump administration’s priorities across the globe, warns that Europe’s migration policies are “creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition”.

“Continental Europe has been losing share of global GDP—down from 25 percent in 1990 to 14 percent today—partly owing to national and transnational regulations that undermine creativity and industriousness.”

“But this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure. The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.”

“Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation”.

The report predicts that as Europe becomes less European, it will no longer be a reliable NATO ally:

Over the long term, it is more than plausible that within a few decades at the latest, certain NATO members will become majority non-European. As such, it is an open question whether they will view their place in the world, or their alliance with the United States, in the same way as those who signed the NATO charter.

In fact, Europe’s leaders have already begun their usual arrogant, condescending mockery. “This is JD Vance on steroids,” said Carl Bildt, the former prime minister of Sweden, dismissevely referring to the US vice president’s castigating speech on European politics at the Munich Security Conference in February 2025.

The disdainful Mr Bildt is, of course, just one of Sweden’s leaders who have allowed/encouraged mass immigration to turn their country from the most peaceful, crime-free, socially-cohesive (and boring?) country in Europe:

to a ‘vibrant’, multi-cultural, dystopian, violent, crime-ridden, rape-plagued, drug-gang ruled hell-hole:

Sweden also now has one of the highest murder rates in Europe. But I guess Mr Bildt doesn’t live in one of what Swedish authorites call “sensitive areas”, so he probably doesn’t give a damn about the way he has helped wreck the lives of his citizens.

As for Britain, White British will probably be in a minority by around 2060. And we all know which group will be the most powerful non-British group in what was once our country. I hardly think whoever is running our country by then will share the views of Trump’s America about protecting Western civilisation.

So, Europe’s and Britain’s rulers will jeer and snigger at the latest warning from Trump’s America. But Europe’s oppressed and impoverished citizens may not share their rulers’ sneering and scorn at the latest warnings from the only Western leader who seems to understand the importance of protecting what’s left of First-world civilisation from invading forces of Third-world barbarity.

Though there’s one issue the US National Security report seems to steer clear of – the possibility of civil war in several European countries. I wonder why?
