Absolutely spot on Dr. Wolf. Time for a sea change in how the US and Europe relate. God bless President Trump for the courage to challenge another status quo that adversely impacts Americans. If Britain and Europe wish the death and destruction to continue in Ukraine, the US needs to nullify NATO and stop all aid to Ukraine. Ukraine is not our ally, and our part in this proxy war must end. Russia is not the problem, Europe is. That continent apparently lives war. Back to Washington; friend to all, ally to none.
I wish more people could read your commentary. So true. Could you be on Tucker Carlson's channel again? My husband and I are 74, have our Masters, and worked all of our lives.
Our income now is what it was in 1979: Social Security and a small retirement. The middle class has already died. Our savings were spent on our oldest daughter with mental health problems from a childhood trauma--$400,000 over 35 years. Jesus come quickly!
to paraphrase THOSE THE AMERICANS WOULD BETRAY THEY FIRST DAMIEN Your history doesn't include reference to nuclear non proliferation. In the late 40's Europe (have gone through two world wars) could neither afford nor wanted to pay the cost of maintaining a large standing military. Their solution was a nuclear deterrent. The US didn't want a world where every one and his cousin could start WW3 & a nuclear holocaust, so the deal was made , in exchange for Europe forgoing nukes the US would pick up the extra cost of conventional defense. Now the US is reneging on that deal and Europeans are looking for nukes.
Those (subjectivity) happy Europeans you saw are actually very worried about a Russian invasion;
hence, the "howls".
US defense expenditures in Europe would not pay for the largely nonexistent benefits you allude to (ie. British health care is a mess).
Just as Ukraine gave up the worlds 3rd largest nuclear arsenal for US assurances that their borders would be respected (Budapest), Europe gave up nukes for US military assurances. They have both come to regret it.
After the Cold War, the U.S. promised Russia all sorts of good things—all of which were reneged over the years. Russia wanted to be part of NATO, but instead, they found the countries of NATO encroaching on their borders, or supporting or arming countries along their borders.
It’s no secret the West wants Russia’s rich resources, and they are endeavoring to take them——and one of their tools is brainwashing the likes of you to think Russia is a boogeyman.
You didn’t know the US helped stage a color revolution in Ukraine in 2014? Where ya been?
It’s time to see the world as it is my friend. And yeah, I’m an American and I’m tired of supporting the world. Maybe you should work more in Europe so you can afford your own extravagances.
Great post. It’s past time the US decreases its involvement in global security as there is zero reason for wars. Wars have been a money making power grab by elites and have had nothing to do with some crazy leader. We are done!
I have noticed that Americans have this whole thing of the US-Europe relationship upside down. Let's get real : it is the US that occupied Western Europe in 1944-5, invited by no one with a right to invite it (it invited itself), and that remains in occupation to this day. The Ukraine neonazi regime is a creation of the US (remember Victoria's cookies on the Maidan?). The Ukraine war happened because the US and its neocons wanted it. "Europe" has no "leaders" : what it has in power are US assets, put in their positions by the USA.... (think about Klaus Schwab's Young Global Leaders like French "president" micron, one of many offsprings of a CIA-financed Harvard University program that monsieur Schwab attended a long time ago and inspired him to found his WEF). Finally, the US does not PROTECT Western Europe : it never did. It has been shown since the fall of the Wall that the UdSSR never planned to invade Western Europe after 1945, and today Russia has no intention of invading Western Europe. And for peace and protection by Uncle Sam, what about Yugoslavia 1999 and Ukraine 2014? That's "protection" for you! The USA protects Europe like the Mafia protects the restaurant owners subject to its racketeering. As veteran German politician Oskar Lafontaine titled a book of his after America famously "protected" the Nordstream gas pipelines : "Amis [Americans], Time to Go Home." Please.
What this falls to take into account is the real threat to democracy at this time. And it does not ask the question: where would all the money they are supposedly saving go? Paying down the debt? No. Universal Healthcare? Nope. Better education? Definitely not. Reducing taxes for the middle class? Also no.
Maybe it will pay for another car commercial on the White House lawn...
Right on!!!! I have family in England who gave me grief for backing Trump! This is a wake up call not only to us but our leaches in Europe! Thank you for laying it out point by point!
Well said Dr. Wolf! This post World War II order needs to be reconsidered, and like you, I believe that is exactly what our President is doing! It’s incredible to me that prior presidents of both parties have let it go on for so long!
Naomi, very well put as usual. However, I recently heard RFK, Jr. say that certain Republicans approved, or at least justified, sending money to Ukraine only because it was a loan, and not a grant; and furthermore, that BlackRock would reap the benefits of these loan conditions. Otherwise, I don’t begrudge the European people their artificially high standards of living, which we may have been able to keep ourselves if only our leaders didn’t sell out our industry to Wall Street interests, this off-shoring of everything. It’s the European leaders, those woke, decadent creatures and traitors to their own people, that deserve the absolute worst. As far as I have read the unconventional, alternative, freer sources of information, (including converted Dems such as Jeffrey Sachs), Putin is trying to protect his country’s interests, including those of its people, its Church, ethnicity and conservative values against the onslaught of the atheist Ukraine Nazis and their profligate and corrupted, woke Western elite masters.
Oh doctor, where do you get the defense and Ukraine numbers from? Don’t see any source.
Most of the meagre defense spending is on US weapons and -finally- did you account for all the bases, airport & logistics facilities, hospital and R&R facilities in Europe? Not sure how they are costed. To end, not sure there are that many allies left, actually
I am English. I agree with you and your President. America should not be subsidising Europe's defence. Europe is badly infected with socialism which, as Margaret Thatcher famously observed, means you eventually run out of other people's money. People here, voting for left wing politicians, are like spoilt teenagers, expecting to be kept whilst refusing to tidy their room or empty the dishwasher.

Totally agree with everything you said!
FEMA blows !

Worried about a Russian invasion? Really?

Thank you for the update of Russian propaganda.
You don't seem to want to admit that Russia invaded and started killing Ukrainians, no one invaded Russia or started killing Russians,
Now the US is voting with what it used to call the EVIL EMPIRE.
You say nothing about Ukraine giving up nukes in exchange for US security assurances.
Your comments bear out what I said, "those whom the Americans would betray they 1st demean"

Excellent analysis of our changing position in the world. I expect our lfestyle to improve when we get rid of the Federal Reserve.

Simply one of the best commentaries I have read on the topic of US withdrawal from endless support of the status quo. Brilliant!

That's not a surprise. This is going to get only worse. 2025, 2026, 2027…......
