Europe’s New Role: Disrupting Trump and His Key Allies
Sunday's election in Germany will reveal whether the U.S. and Europe are “allies”, as Trump continues his publicly supported coup against the Western regime.
By now, we have all seen it. If not, here is a brief recap: Vice President JD Vance spoke about censorship and arresting citizens for things like “hateful” social media posts at the Munich Security Conference last week. A German diplomat cried. Literally, tears streaming down Christoph Heusgen’s face as he spoke of the new Western divide. So the story goes.
If he was really upset, he has a reason to be. The Holy Trinity of the Western Regime – headquartered in Washington, London and Brussels -- has seemingly lost its most important partner. Trump has taken over.
Unlike his first term, loaded with regime embeds of the usual globalist type and James Bond wannabes at the CIA and at their beloved cover agencies like the now infamous USAID, Trump 2.0 is different than its first iteration. The Holy Trinity has been damaged. This is how the post-globalist West takes shape.
But I fear that Europe’s new role is to serve as the Western regime’s opposition headquarters. They are going to hammer away, protecting regime narratives all day, every day.
What do we mean by “Western Regime?” Many people use the term “regime” to define a government they dislike. In the last four years, it was the “Biden regime”. But the regime is not a President. It is the nerve center and skeletal tissue of the Western world, which has been built up to a point where it now rides roughshod over the citizenry. This regime remains in power, no matter who is the President, and is one of the reasons why our domestic, and foreign policies especially, are relatively unchanged from president to president, even if those policies are unpopular among the electorate. The Western regime’s muscle is centered in Washington. But it has important branches in London, where old money and the MI6 plays a role in fomenting unrest or exacting concessions from foreign and domestic enemies, if not outright toppling them. Christopher Steele of the infamous Russia hoax was “ex-MI6”. And then there’s Brussels, which is the EU headquarters but really the foreign policy projecting might of the regime on the European continent– and home to an expansionist NATO.
EU No Longer Wants to be Peacemaker
Russia was never the peace broker. No one in the world ever saw them as that.
But the rest of the world did see the U.S. and Europe as the peacemakers. That’s changed over the years thanks to regime change wars in the Middle East, and these last three years in Ukraine.
The Trump administration was wise not to invite any European leaders to the Ukraine War peace talks in Saudi Arabia this weekend. They will sabotage it and leak to the media. We know this.
Europe had its chance. They ran the Minsk Accords and failed, with Angela Merkel famously saying that Minsk was used to bide time for Ukraine to prepare for a proxy war against Russia. It was always a proxy war against Russia, led from Washington.
On the preliminary peace talks, the same rule applies to Zelensky. Of course Zelensky, or someone high up the Ukrainian power pyramid, will be involved in the final handshake that ends this three-year war. I just don’t know if it will be Zelensky in the end. He might be living in The Shard with his beautiful wife on MI6 safe house money.
And so for this reason, sadly, I think Zelensky cannot be trusted by the Trump administration just yet. That could change.
For Trump, Ukraine has been the source of too many problems. Remember his impeachment had Ukraine and DC regime military and a CIA analyst as the source. It does not matter that Zelensky stuck up for Trump at the time.
Zelensky’s presence in Saudi Arabia would have made things worse. That’s because the Ukrainian government serves two masters – one of which is in Europe – whose current unlikable leadership is overtly working to thwart Trump.
Europe is now talking about throwing more money to prolong the war in obvious opposition to Trump.
Green Party member and Germany’s Foreign Affairs Minister Annalena Baerbock promised the 700 billion euros to Ukraine…but “only after the election”, an election in which her side of the regime is sure to lose. More false hope from the usual suspects.
Most of this news about the 700 billion is being spread on line by the Digital Euromaidan activists but it has been in trust worthy news outlets, too, like the Financial Times, whose reporters are paid to get these things right. Market reporting is the best reporting. Those guys usually understand the world better than their siloed political colleagues. (Though many reporters are equally “retardado”, as they might say in Brasil.)
By the way, the digital maidan became a thing thanks to USAID and National Endowment for Democracy seed funding for “digital democracy initiatives” that occurred in Ukraine during the ousting of Viktor Yanukovych in 2013-14. This is the off-the-reservation intelligence muscle of the Western regime. As it is funded by the State Department, their money is dwindling and these guys are on their own now; I suspect they will turn to their rolodex of like-minded ideologues of regime lords and ladies in Europe.
This weekend in Germany will reveal a lot.
“After the Election”, Germany’s Government Will Cry. Then, Go After Musk?
Germany is about to elect the right wing AfD party, Alternative for Deutschland. My sources forecast AfD with 25% of the Bundestag on Sunday.
AfD is close to breaking the so-called firewall in Bavaria, where the Christian Social Union reigns supreme. CSU is the sister-party of Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union, the largest party in Germany. If CSU is willing to work with AfD, it is likely many in the CDU will as well.
The Socialist Party (SPD) and the Greens are going to suffer a shellacking. The Greens might not even have any meaningful representation anymore in the Bundestag, further weakening Baerbock.
After the loss, I expect many political leaders in Germany and Europe to blame Elon Musk and X for “spreading misinformation” that led to the win. They might even elude to Vance’s speech in Munich.
“Europe is standing in opposition to Trump,” says Vladimir Signorelli, founder of Bretton Woods Research. “Who has benefited the most from this Ukrainian war? Has it been European natural gas suppliers? Has it been European energy companies? I would think it would have to be. And you look at the European Central Bank, they are reducing rates because the economy is slowing. So if the economy is slowing down, it’s not a good idea to give 700 billion euros away.”
My sense remains that the regime has to pull Trump away from Musk and we are probably going to see more noise on that front come Sunday.
Then they will try to pull Trump away from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as he is the guy whose department is in charge of the imperial capitol’s foreign policy apparatus, for better and for worse.
Musk is the main kill shot, not only because of the Department of Government Efficiency, but because the Democrats in particular must believe that if you yank Musk from Trump, and if Trump says something stupid about Musk (which he is apt to do), you yank all of that Silicon Valley money and influence that has come out overtly in favor of Trump over the last year and put them on the sidelines. Removing Musk would be an immeasurable blow to Trump for this reason.
Lastly, turning Rubio soft on Ukraine or in favor of the usual regime chicanery abroad would be the second win. These are the targets. I believe a lot of the fire will come from Europe. (I include the U.K. here.)
A word from “Smarty Pants”* in the Faculty Lounge:
“The Green Party of Germany, the party of pacifists and vegans and non-GMOs, is the party whose leading politician is promoting a war against Russia. Germany is not at war with Russia, we can agree on that, right? But Baerbock said that we are at war with Russia and she is the Foreign Minister of Europe’s most important economy. So these known-it-alls, who know what’s best for everyone, who want to tell you how to eat and how to heat your home, these control freaks are involved in promoting a war. But the truth is that nobody is at war; only the Greens are at war. They know they are going lose this weekend. They have been part of the political elite that have lied to Germans since the migrant crisis began in 2015. And now Germans are suffering financially and see all the money the state is giving to migrants and the animosity is astronomical. Despite this, are you going to really tell people that their government is participating in a 700 billion euro package to Zelensky? This has to be the biggest farce in all the EU.”
*Smarty Pants is an off record source who has something to say. They usually work in global markets and are based around the world, in American academia, or on Capitol Hill.
This weekend’s election in Germany will be the AfD election. It is the shadow which will hang over everything that happens between the U.S. and Europe from here on out.
The German government is in disarray, with its Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, disagreeing with his Foreign Minister, the peace and love Green lady saving the planet from carbon one dead body at a time. I bet Scholz and his party will not have any power to send Ukraine money. Send the money to the Germans, instead. Get Ukraine and Russia to end the war.
Lastly, what if AfD wins more than 25%?
“They won’t cancel the election results if that happens,” said Vlad. “The Romanian guy who got toppled by the EU’s Russian interference reporting is now more popular than ever. The Europeans also tried to do that in Austria and look at their right wing party; it now has a plurality of support. The EU is in big trouble. And that is why the German stock market is booming. Investors can sense they are going to get an abandonment, at least, of this green government, which is against industry and growth.”
Most of the European right wing are anti-globalist and definitely anti-mass migration. The Western regime will call them “far right”; but in their language “far right” means “against the regime.”
Will the Europeans attack Musk if AfD scores beyond what’s being predicted? Vlad disagrees with my worst case scenario.
Try as they might…
“I don’t think Europe will succeed in pulling Musk away from Trump,” Vlad said. “I think the firewall gets broken in Germany, too. If that’s what the public wants and CDU can have a majority in government with AfD, then it makes sense to join forces. Put (AfD party chief) Alice Weidel in Baerbock’s position, or energy. There can never be Germans in Ukraine dying on the evening news.”
Trump has landed a serious blow to the regime. He has impact players on his team now, rather than loaded with left wing one-worlders and regime sycophants.
The European elite lack legitimacy now.
They will struggle mightily in disrupting Trump, but we should not be shocked if the land a few hard blows in the weeks ahead.
