I Am So, So Tired of European Hypocrisy 1

Europeans are whining daily about Trump’s policies, talking about the death of the Western alliance, and threatening to go on their own because Trump is a tyrant who is bullying them.

Oh, please. 

Europeans have been freeloading off the US, bullying us using threats of fines based on regulations that not only restrict the freedoms of Europeans but also those of Americans. They have been promising to pull their weight in the NATO alliance while simultaneously slashing their defense expenditures yearly. 

The UK’s military is a shadow of its former self. European countries “commit” to joint naval missions and have to pull out their ships because they cannot do the job and depend on the US to free Red Sea shipping, despite their own dependence on the trade route and the US’ near independence from it. These countries which lecture us daily on their commitment to freedom and democracy cancel elections in which their preferred candidates will lose, and send campaign workers to the US to meddle in our own elections. 

Europe is not committed to Western values. It is speeding headlong into a future where Chinese values and policies are fully adopted in their own countries. Except ironically, they are worse in many ways. Because China at least defends its own borders against invasions, while European leaders are importing enemies of their own people are astounding–even terrifying–rates.

The EU threatened every Elon Musk company with crippling fines for…allowing Donald Trump to speak on X. Literally, they did, even saying directly that Donald Trump is a “misinformer” and allowing him to participate in a Twitter Live forum could result in penalties that would be based on worldwide revenue–not even profits, but revenue–on all Elon Musk companies if Trump were allowed to speak. 

Don’t tell me that the current regimes in Europe are friends of the US. They declared war on our freedoms, choose to work with and trade with our enemies, worked diligently to manipulate our politics, censored our citizens, and demanded we subsidize them when they did so.

For decades I was an enthusiastic supporter of our partnership with Europe. I admired Thatcher’s Britain and even tolerated the French despite their absolute arrogance.

But I am sick and tired of them. Angry at them. Disgusted by their descent into soft tyranny. 

These people are not our friends. They hate us, make no bones about it, and demand we bend to their will. 

If these countries pulled their weight in NATO they wouldn’t have to increase their defense spending nearly a trillion dollars just to stand up to Russia. Their population is 3x Russia’s, their economies 10x the size, and yet they worry that Russia could overrun their countries. 

That is pathetic. They are the 30-something ne’ere-do-well children living in their parent’s basement screaming that their family doesn’t understand them and support them enough as they play video games.

Americans are tired of it all. To have Volodymir Zelensky lecture Trump about how we should put US boots on the ground in Ukraine after he campaigned for Kamala Harris is insulting. To have Kier Starmer make demands after he sent 100 Labour operatives to campaign for Harris is a joke. 

I am willing to work with them, but if they need our help, they should act as junior partners, not the wise, all-knowing guides to whom we must bow and whom we must obey. 

I’m sick of it. Millions of Americans are sick of it. 

Kier Starmer says that if he has to choose between a partnership with America and one with Davos he would choose Davos.

Well, in return, if we have to choose between Europe and freedom, I choose freedom.
