Europe panics as Trump rises from his political grave

Jacob's ladderEurope panics as Trump rises from his political grave

Jacob's Ladder - Apr 11, 2024

Last week was full of twists and turns. It began with the United States Supreme Court's 9-0 condemnation of the use of the 14th Amendment to punish political opponents.

   

Then the Wicked Witch of kyiv, Vic(Toria) “Cookies” Nuland, was ousted from the State Department after torturing the world for decades with her psychopathy.

Then Donald Trump practically sent Nikki Haley back to his Waffle House near Greenville.

Finally, French President Emmanuel Macron tried to convince the whole world that NATO was ready to send troops to Ukraine. Which ones? Clearly not French troops, who are only good at this point for “going on safari in North Africa,” according to Colonel Doug MacGregor.

And not the British ships either, which don't seem to be able to leave port. I think there is a sort of competition between the failures of the Boeing airlines and the failures of the British ships… but I can also be a conspiracy theorist.

No, the answer has always been that it would be American troops in Europe fighting Europe's war that everyone – the UK, Davos and its EU apparatchiks, and US neoconservatives – thought it would be a resounding success in bleeding Russia.

And I'm sure that's exactly how they planned it in their Microsoft Project file at Globalist Central.

This clearly did not happen and it is Ukraine which is in great difficulty today. The truth, which has become rare since the start of the war two years ago, is that Ukraine has always been in great difficulty.

And this led, predictably, to the situation we have today. U.S. support for the Ukraine project is coming to an end, if it hasn't already. And the panic in Europe is palpable.

All this was very predictable if we accepted the framework of a split at the top of the American hierarchy. One faction committed to the Davos vision of the future, which involved a docile, even defeated, United States, and another faction that looked up from their screens and said, “Uh…no.”

It was all obvious about eight months ago, when the big NATO summit in Vilnius ended with groans from then-British Defense Minister Ben Wallace. Wallace was supposed to replace Jens Stoltenberg as NATO Secretary General, but was pushed aside by Joe Biden (JOAH Bii-Den!).

After that, there was no further talk of Ukraine joining NATO. Zelensky returned to kyiv with tears in his eyes after Biden gave him nothing either. Then, in October, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted in a coup by Matt Gaetz and a handful of GOP tax hardliners.

They immediately got new House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) to tie any new foreign aid funding to spending cuts and earmarking funds for border security, in as much as the slim majority in Congress would allow.

Since then, Joe Biden has been forced to look under the Pentagon sofas for a few million dollars to send to Ukraine. He found 300 the other day. As bad as the situation is, the fact that it's millions rather than billions should be considered a victory.

The Senate tried to blackmail Johnson with its ridiculous $95 billion aid bill and Johnson simply pressured boss Chuck Schumer by requesting a two-week recess. Today, the best they can hope for is a more modest bill, with a loan/rental clause, without the money being earmarked for “humanitarian aid” – a euphemism for fill the pockets.

And despite his rapprochement with Senate hawks, Johnson continues to use aid to Ukraine as a way to put domestic financing reforms first. Every day of haggling over these issues is another day that spells the end of Project Ukraine, as Russian forces take towns and villages in Western Donbas every day.

Again, this is not an ideal solution, far from it, but it is a Pyrrhic victory.

But this is the situation after last week and it is much better than at the beginning of the year, since this money was already expected six months ago.

Europe is now able to completely remove the mask. Indeed, as the United States slowly withdraws from Ukraine, the EU's calls for America to stay the course are growing louder and more strident.

Remember that in 2022-23, when it looked like the United States was determined to move forward in Ukraine, European leaders like Macron and others were more circumspect. They wanted to give a warning about the dangers of escalation in Ukraine. They were able to appear as moderates in the situation room, while continuing to send billions of euros in aid and weapons, forcing everyone to comply with their demands.

The real event revealing Europe's real position on this war was Hungary's threat to Viktor Orban of complete economic devastation if he did not allow their aid program to continue. 50 billion dollars to pass to the European Council.

Now that all of Nuland's military plans have failed, the Ukrainian army has been destroyed for the third time, and all their attempts to undermine the United States legally and economically (Powell must Pivot!) have failed, Europe is found in blind panic.

“The US Democratic government and EU leaders, as well as the leaders of the largest EU member states, are pro-war governments. Donald Trump is for peace, Hungary is for peace. This difference is the basis of everything”
