"Trump openly doubts Europe’s loyalty, his voice ringing with contempt: “If we were attacked, I don’t believe they’d be there.” America stands alone, facing a truth that Europe refuses to admit: the NATO alliance, once sacred, is now a meaningless, decrepit structure — an ancient temple whose priests chant rituals no one remembers, long abandoned by their indifferent gods. The president rejects the naive belief in Europe’s goodwill, seeing through their empty promises...[understanding] too late that trust in corrupted institutions is a path to ruin.
"Musk...slashes away at bureaucratic waste, cutting the tumorous growths of institutional excess. His statement urging withdrawal from NATO and the United Nations ignites a wave of support among MAGA loyalists, bold revolutionaries refusing to serve cults masquerading as alliances."
-- Constantin Von Hoffmeister
“The decline of community in the modern world has as its inevitable religious consequence the creation of masses of helpless, bewildered individuals who are unable to find solace in Christianity regarded merely as creed.”
Robert Nisbet
American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history. America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism. Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
