President of the greedy gangster in America forces European elites, finally considered high protection price
Few global institutions are given a condescending independent flight as the organization of the North Atlantic Treaty. Last June, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of NATO creation, Joe Biden expressed a typical look at the institution What he called “The only greatest, most effective defensive union in the history of the world.”
Donald Trump, at best or at worst, does not share such honor for NATO’s glory. One of the few major ways that Trump crashed with a two -party foreign policy consensus was his belief that other major NATO alliances and America should be clearly organized as a defense racket rather than as partnerships. For Trump, the NATO function is to return money to the US in terms of protection, respect for trade and even open control over the natural resources of the member states. In addition, Trump wants NATO countries to kiss the ring ideologically, expanding the right sides that share his worldview.
Over the past week, Trump’s desire to manage NATO as a mafia boss has become indisputable – especially when he used the leverage of the war of Ukraine/Russia to produce concessions. Last Wednesday Minister Finance Scott tried to extract An agreement in which the US – in compensation for previous military assistance to Ukraine – will receive ownership of 50 percent of the rare land minerals. The Prime Minister of Ukrainian Volodimir Zelensky refused this request because he did not come without security guarantees. In other words, Ukraine was asked to give up wealth for nothing, reminding of the famous scene in Godfather II. Zelensky continues to fight to place Trump or encourage Europeans to continue to support military efforts.
Current Issue
At the same time, Shakedown, both Donald Trump and Defense Minister Pete Hegset, said the United States will negotiate with Russia on the war of Ukraine unilaterally, practically without the contribution of European leaders. Vice -President JD Vance used European trip to meet with Alice Weidel, leader of the extreme alternative of the German party. Vens also made a strong speech that criticized the efforts of marginalizing racist and anti -immigration parties that were suffocated by this American champion.
The New York Times reports:
Leaders of France, Britain, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands and Denmark and top French officials said on Sunday. The goal is to coordinate the reaction to the opening of the Trump administration with Russia without European participation.
Separate New York Times analysis completed this:
Now Europeans are afraid that they may be pawns in negotiations without their active participation, even if their own borders are questionable, and they are expected to take the greatest burden of defense. It is reminiscent of Europe and the world of previous age, regional empires and a strong rule, with little care for the rest.

But the conversations about the end of NATO should be qualified by two facts: historically European elites are reluctant to abandon the alliance that served the continent (though perhaps not in the rest of the world). In 2022, EU Borrell’s main diplomat expressed an implicit policy From the fortress of Europe: “Yes, Europe is a garden.
European elites have exposed a lot of chaotic behavior of US presidents-dollar shock Nixon, nuclear language Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, who destabilizes the regime, changes the wars, the open mafual style of Trump-so that they are afraid to go beyond the shield. To freedom “jungle”.
Trump himself, despite the fact that is often mistaken isolationist, does not really want to stop NATO. Rather, its purpose is that NATO countries acted as a restaurant in the mafia, remaining healthy enough to serve as a regular source of money for protection.
Writing in New statesmanBruno apples cautiously disassembled GSGESTS SPECIFICS AND Trump to understand the basic intention:
America may plan to pull out its troops from Europe, but it does not plan to leave Europe. The fact of its presence and dependence of Europe – can only become more obvious in Trump. If he can achieve a big deal with Putin, the result will be a new security arrangement, if European troops guarantee Ukraine’s safety – it will decrease Ukraine and the country that is in constant threat from Russia – while US economic interests are beneficial from increasing sales Weapons that arise on sale of weapons and privileged access to Ukrainian natural resources, to which the fragile Ukrainian state can exert little resistance. The reconstruction of the destroyed Ukraine will be paid only by Europe and Europe. There will be no negotiations.
Trump’s administration hopes to present a transaction of Ukraine as a victory for Americans, since the difficult task is to provide a historically rich border between the Western and the East, Europe and Asia, now falls solely to the European taxpayer. And if the transaction does not solve any of the major security problems that are responsible for the war of Ukraine, the better. This means that Europeans will remain strongly dependent on the US leadership.
Now European elites are facing the existential question: is it worth the Trump’s defense racket? They may be afraid of the “jungle” of the wide world, but as long as they remain subordinate to the US under the alleged NATO shield, they will have to place Trump or some future President of Gangster, such as Vens. A regular mafia simply requires money and periodic manifestations. What the American gangsters wish is more: a European economic regulatory policy that will please the Plutocrats such as Elon Musk, a European political taboo against the extreme right, and European trade under the big finger of nationalist America. European countries will no longer be allies, but simple sateras, always afraid to angry their moody and rigid sovereign. This is not a jungle protection, but just another jungle spot.
Building an independent Europe will require radical steps. This will mean the end of NATO and the creation of an independent defense alliance, complete with much higher weapons. This may also mean opening to the veils that China is doing to greater economic ties, including the integration of the belt and road initiative with European transport networks. It is difficult to imagine a convenient ruling class of Europe that take such radical steps, but Trump rapidly changes the structure of stimulating the world.
The current reality is that there is no agreed foreign policy in the US, wildly waving between democratic administrations that believe in multilateral interaction (as Obama and Biden did), and republican administrations that either openly conquer European problems (Obviously in the dismissal of the George W. Bush administration from “old Europe”) or tries to turn Europe into a subordinate client (Trump’s policy).
The problem here is that politics are as much as politics themselves. Policy differences stimulate Europeans to risk when Democrats are in power, in particular, a gambling game for NATO expansion and Russia’s confrontation with the illusion that they are safe in US support.

But after Trump or anyone, as he is chosen, Europeans find that they do not really have the means to support the policies they have assumed by constant American support. Without their dependence on the United States, Europe should make a serious analysis of the cost and benefits of NATO and Russia’s risks, as well as other foreign policy commitments. The only way for European countries to achieve realistic and stable relations with Russia is to abandon the fantasy that the US is a reliable partner.
Trump’s foreign policy despises and destabilizes – but it can only withstand the governments that honestly look after their interests rather than nostalgically adhered to the institutes that do not work. While America is ready to choose a gangster president, such as Trump, NATO makes no sense. Trump has won two of the last three elections, and the Republican Party is more in its version of one -sided nationalism than if it is. The American foreign policy consensus, which passed from the Pearl -Chorbor until the end of Obama’s term, is clearly over. In the new era of nonsense, the former allies of America will consult a team of their own destiny.
