1) Those consumed with daily "news" or the 30-second Tik Tok view of the world cannot begin to understand the fundamental changes happening right now to Europe.
2) The Euros signed their death warrants over a decade ago with the twin evils of Muslim immigration and depopulation.
3) The China Virus & its vax were just the cherry on top of destruction.
4) President Trump jokes about Mediocre Britain's Navy, about NATO's military "readiness," but there is a much bigger reality underneath this that has nothing whatsoever to do with guns, drones, bombs.
5) The Euros more than 40 years ago lost the capability to, as united countries, fight in a serious conflict. That's bad enough. Yes, they have some fine units. But the Brits barely handled Argentina in the 1980s.
6) Since then, their militaries (other than training) have been committed to mind-numbing and lethality-breaking "peace-keeping" missions around the world. Nothing says "badass" like not being able to fire a weapon.
7) It is so much worse than this, because if you set CAPABILITIES aside, the more serious issue of "Why the heck are we fighting?" arises. For France? Really? What, the no-go zones?
For Mother Holland?
8) There is not a country in Europe where its military is a honed instrument . . . and here is the most important part . . . "filled with a terrible resolve" (which Adm. Yamamoto did NOT say).
9) Cohesion, motivation, sacrifice. Duty, honor, country. What honor? To the EU?
