Europe’s defense ambitions get reality check

For decades after the end of the Cold War in 1989, defense was not a high priority for European leaders.

Military spending was slashed, armed forces were downsized, and equipment stockpiles depleted, resulting in diminished combat readiness.

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, however, served as a wake-up call and prompted European governments to reverse course and focus on defense.

Growing uncertainty about US security commitments under President Donald Trump accelerated the trend.

Hegseth slams NATO and ‘middle powers’ talk, launches Europe troop review

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday lashed out at NATO allies during the announcement of a six-month Pentagon review of U.S. forces in Europe, saying the future of the alliance depended on others stepping up their defence spending.

He also appeared to take a veiled dig at recent remarks made by Prime Minister Mark Carney about middle powers needing to band together.

Europe like Canada will have to contend with a huge 5th Column and traitor class capable of upending any effort at self defense.

When you invite the enemy to overrun your country expect negative consequences Canada.

Canada is not capable of defending its borders and there will no Band of Middle Powers riding to the rescue.

NATO: US lashes out, alliance head says everything’s fine

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Thursday berated NATO alliance partners over their military spending and lack of initial support for the US war in Iran.

Addressing fellow defense ministers at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Hegseth doubled down on US President Donald Trump’s threat to withdraw troops from Europe — where Washington stations them in order to aid in the defense of Europe, as well as to enable the more rapid projection of US military might abroad.

Hegseth said Washington would conduct a review to “examine America’s force posture and basing in Europe.”

The nation at war: There will be Belfasts across Europe, too

The images of riots in the United Kingdom are not a passing nuisance. They are a warning in flames. For decades, detached political elites have imposed a radical demographic and cultural transformation across Europe under the banner of progressivism. This has targeted the very core of our civilisation. Traditional values, nuclear family, Christian faith: They are relentlessly undermined. Indigenous populations are forced to watch the destruction of their homelands. With millions of new poor and nobody safe anymore, violent reaction is to be expected.

Europe’s cities have turned into suburbs of the Horn of Africa

The orange lights of the street lamps, the wet asphalt, a black shadow savagely attacking a white body as if it were slitting a goat’s throat at the Mogadishu market. A video like this cannot be invented.

Instead, one thinks of those dark centuries we thought we had relegated to the margins of history, those times when heads were cut off to be displayed on bastions and the “defeated” were mutilated so that their flesh would speak louder than their deaths.

And I wondered if our main weakness has not become the inability to recognize barbarism when it appears before us.

Miranda Devine: Pete Hegseth’s D-Day speech gave Europe a spot-on warning – be smart or be invaded

War Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a great speech on D-Day in Normandy.

He told the Europeans they were committing civilizational suicide by allowing themselves to be “invaded” by unassimilable migrants.

It was the kind of warning you give to a friend who you see is making a terrible mistake.

Only 1 in 10 Europeans see US as an ally — study

Only 11% of Europeans consider the United States to be an ally, a historic low, according to a survey by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) released on Wednesday.

Six months ago, 16% of people across 15 countries in Europe said they viewed the US as an ally, while in November 2024, when Donald Trump won the US presidential election, the figure stood at 22%.

The ECFR poll shows Europeans “embrace self-reliance and are clear-eyed about Donald Trump,” although they don’t expect the relationship to collapse entirely under the weight of the current challenges.

A majority of respondents said they did not think the US would come to Europe’s defense if it were attacked.

The Eurotrash pictured above have been unable and or unwilling to secure Europe’s borders against an ongoing mass illegal alien invasion.

France has virtually ceded control of the Banlieues to Islamists and criminal gangs.

They won’t protect their own people so why should the USA waste it’s time on them?

Carney is a likeminded Eurotrash wannabe who wants us to ally with these blowhard frauds.

Hegseth’s D-Day warning about the ‘dangerous invasion of ideologies’ into Europe needs heeding

IN THE wake of US Vice President JD Vance’s comments about the ‘invasion of migrants’ in Europe, we now have the US defence secretary Pete Hegseth likening recent sea arrivals in Europe to an ‘invasion’, warning that freedoms won in 1944 remain under threat.

Hegseth’s remarks were delivered at the American Colleville-sur-Mer cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach in Normandy during commemorations of the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Why America is sounding the alarm about Britain and Europe

Back in November, the State Department warned that “mass migration poses an existential threat to western civilization and undermines the stability of key American allies.” In February, in his address to the Munich Security Conference, Secretary of State Marco Rubio expanded on that theme. After the Berlin Wall fell, Rubio noted, many in the West thought “the end of history” had finally arrived. Utopia was nigh. Western nations opened their borders, forsook spending on defense in order to bolster the welfare state and “outsourced” their national sovereignty. This was, Rubio warned, to ignore both human nature as well as the lessons of “over 5,000 years of recorded human history. And it has cost us dearly.” He continued:

“We opened our doors to an unprecedented wave of mass migration that threatens the cohesion of our societies, the continuity of our culture, and the future of our people. We made these mistakes together, and now, together, we owe it to our people to face those facts and to move forward, to rebuild.”

At D-Day Event, Hegseth Warns Of European Beaches ‘Stormed’ By Third-World Migrants

NORMANDY, France — U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth warned about the invasion of Europe by third-world migrants in a Saturday speech commemorating the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. Hegseth spoke at the Normandy American Cemetery, where thousands of Americans are buried. All but one died storming the beaches on D-Day or in the subsequent Battle of Normandy during World War II.

“Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria,” Hegseth said. “Boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not.”

Is Saving Europe Still Possible?

London. Sunday, May 10. A protest against rising anti-Semitism is organized in front of the prime minister’s residence. About 20,000 people are present, mostly Jews. Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Pat McFadden, who addressed them, was jeered and booed. “I feel your pain,” he told the crowd. The reply was, “Action, no more words.”

When British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, a few days before the protest, visited Golders Green, a heavily Jewish area of London where two Jews had been stabbed on April 29, he was greeted with chants of “Keir Starmer, Jew Harmer.”

I think we will face an increasingly hostile, Islamized Europe making further investment in a tied future is just good money after bad.

Hegseth says ‘European beaches are stormed’ by mass immigration in Normandy D-Day speech

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth linked the Allied invasion of Normandy during World War II to modern immigration challenges facing Europe in a speech Saturday marking the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

“Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different, dangerous ideologies,” Hegseth said during remarks at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, France. “Beaches in Spain, Italy, Greece, and Bulgaria — boats and men arrive.”

Europe’s Freeloading Days Are Over: America Demands Reciprocity

Since the end of World War II, the United States has spent trillions of dollars defending Europe. After defeating the Nazis, America rebuilt the European continent with the Marshall Plan and shielded it from Soviet aggression while propping up European economies through subsidies and investments.

We bailed out failing governments. We airlifted food into Berlin when it was being choked off by the Soviet Union. We sent military aid. We ultimately saved Europe from communism.

Rubio tries to reassure Nato allies over US troop deployments

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has tried to reassure allies over US decisions on troop deployments in Europe.

Rubio’s intervention at the end of a Nato foreign ministers’ meeting in Sweden came after President Donald Trump said the US would send an extra 5,000 troops to Poland.

That decision was a week after a planned deployment of 4,000 troops to the country was cancelled and days after an announcement that US troops would be pulled out of Germany.

Europe Admits It Still Can’t Defend Itself Alone

European leaders are attempting to downplay concerns after the United States announced plans to reduce its military presence on the continent, amid growing questions about Europe’s ability to defend itself without American support.

The Pentagon announced late on Tuesday that it was pausing the deployment of any additional troops to Poland. Vice President JD Vance described this as part of America’s demand for “more of Europe standing on its own two feet.”
