Europe’s only power left, is the power to commit suicide.

Yesterday was a historical day. 

We saw a magnificent double climax in US political powerplay, that would make John Holmes proud. 

A political knockout, which was preluded by the blistering words of the imposing Christian commando Pete Hegseth, the US Secretary of Defense, who, a week or so ago, dryly informed a stunned Brussels elite that they could no longer count on the USA. No more troops, no weapons, no dollars, and no security guarantees.

His words hit the powdered EU wigs like a cream cake to the face. Especially the three cherries on top hurt. Ukraine should forget about NATO membership. Russia could possibly claim the territories it had conquered, and “the USA could not stay in Europe forever”. 

The rift between the EU and the US, once an inseparable power-political and military duo, which began to diverge during that visit, today widened into an insurmountable, gaping chasm.

Yesterday was February 16th 2025. A day that will live in infamy in the minds of the Brussels nomenklatura.

A day marked by a deceptively liberating, almost laughable chain of events.

How wonderfully rewarding it was to see Rutte, Baerbock, Zelensky, Kallas, Van der Leyen, getting their faces slapped by JD Vance at the security conference in Munich, once the epitome of a toe-curling symbiotic lovey-dovey partnership. 

Without batting an eye or using any notes, Vance took his perfumed audience of EU and Ukrainian dignitaries to task, with lashing words about their dictatorship, their disinformation lies, the lack of EU democracy and freedom of the press. Words striking home with the baffled powdered wigs. So hard that the chairman of the event, one Christoph Heusgen, spontaneously burst into tears like a teenager who realizes, that his first love had run off with the mean quarterback of the football team.

“There are no more shared values,” the poor man sobbed in his closing speech.

But that was not all.

The true climax came when Orange Man Bad himself later that day, went even further, blowing away the last remnants of diplomatic comfort and belching into the microphone the unthinkable disaster scenario for Brussels.

“It will be just me and Putin, we will not invite representatives of Europe. There will be no war for me and if Europe has a problem with that, then let Russia defeat it on its own without American participation.

Why don’t I want the EU there? Because their representatives need to go to war, they need a long-term conflict to cover up their incompetence, their lobbies, and their stolen money.

I already classify the EU as a third world country, but it is a little better off, no one dictates anything to them.

I will not negotiate with anyone who wants to prolong the conflict, I will not negotiate with anyone who will send more weapons, I will not negotiate with anyone who will try to get any more ammunition initiatives, I will not negotiate with anyone who will try to prolong the conflict.

Harsh words, with a final cowboy boot kicking the asses of Van der Leyen, Breton, Verhofstadt, and the other Berlaymont mongrels.

I will negotiate the peace, which is obviously a very censored word in the EU.”

As if bluntly calling off 80 years of intimate courtship wasn’t enough, the EU wasn’t even allowed at the wedding party.

Trump’s message to Rutte and his clique was hard but clear as day.

Russia and the USA are now going to make peace. And if you want to keep fighting Russia after that, do it with your own money, weapons and people. This is all your party now, your mess, your problem.”

All that while rumors fly that the United States might completely leave NATO. But I will set that aside for now. Too much happening in this fog of political Blitz. 

About these baffling events, you might say that they carried great news. A peace between the two superpowers, Russia and the USA, would mean solace for our economically ravaged countries and a relief for the European children who were readied to die in an eastern “Flanders Fields” once again. 

That Team USA delivered a magnificent paralyzing blow to the EU warmongers.

A combination of knock out blows that would instantly silence the EU war cries.

After all, the US nuclear umbrella was rudely removed from above their heads. And the barometer spells an eastern wind and rain. They surely wouldn’t dare to double down now, would they?

Indeed. In any sane world, the US Russian move towards peace, would be great news. 

But we Europeans are far from liberated. There are no olive-green Shermans rolling through the streets. It’s too early to dance in our village squares.

We still suffer the same unelected regime, which is now, besides clearly insane, also in a blind panic.

Leaders that have their people’s best interest at heart would immediately choose the presented option for peace, to prevent any further damage from a war that was already lost, but I doubt very much that the people who got spanked so relentlessly yesterday, would. 

Brussels always doubles down, always plays the game of chicken. Always raises the bet, even with dramatic cards always floors the gas pedal, hurdling towards the bright red light.

And if Brussels, in the light of these events, acts like they always do, the situation for the EU citizens who sigh under their regime, suddenly becomes a life-threatening adventure.

Especially now Dutch Mark Rutte, the EU NATO Sec Gen plays an crucial role in the next EU moves. Sidelined by Trump and probably boiling inside with dreams of bloodshed and revenge.

We Dutch know Mark Rutte, who in the previous fourteen years of being our prime minister, has done nothing but deliberately dismantling and weakening our once beautiful country. Seizing every opportunity to cause as much damage and destruction as possible.

Rutte, whose power and cunning is underestimated in other NATO countries, won’t stop until everything is destroyed. We Dutch know that from experience.

And to accomplish total destruction, fighting a lost war presents an ideal opportunity.

Why would Rutte want to stop? Especially since other sidelined puppets like Kallas, Starmer and Baerbock continue to blow their silly war trumpets and there’s no way out left for Zelensky.

The astonishing, historic, political events of yesterday might have been highly amusing, but they also usher in a life-threatening moment for us and our children. 

Because we are like ants in a gunpowder barrel, with desperate leaders eager to light the fuse. 

Will they choose to agree to a humbling peace, negotiated over their heads or will they choose suicide for us?

Because, regrettably, those are the only two remaining choices. And I trust Rutte with peace, as much as I trust a baby with a hand grenade.

This Western Europe increasingly resembles a gigantic Jonestown Temple in Guyana, and Rutte would happily distribute the Cool Aid.

And then all comes down to the EU population. Stripped of that other umbrella, the USAID propaganda parasol, they will have to look the harsh truth, directly in the eyes and decide their own future. But will they? 

It’s going to be very exciting.

This was nightly work. If you think that what I do is important, please support me here! Thanks to you, I can continue writing.

Addendum.

This column was written befóre the first EU NATO Emergency meeting, and the revealing Dutch parliament session on the subject.

I regret to say it, but in these two days we can already see, that peace in Europe is not in the cards yet. Instead I see the contours of the hellish future, Rutte and his team of misfits and white collar criminals have in store for us.

The Dutch parliament, controlled by NATO, already decided on unwavering military, moral and financial support for Zelensky’s Ukraine. And the EU just decided on new sanctions against Russia. As if nothing changed, since last week.

Meanwhile, Team Trump is clearly out as an ally of Zelensky’s Ukraine, demanding hundreds of billions of Dollars to be returned. Their disdain for the EU leadership is palpable.

The prospect of the EU and Ukraine together trying to distort a Russian US peace, by uninvitedly interfering, with a self proclaimed “peacekeeping force”, under whose guise Ukraine and the EU will keep on poking the Russian bear with insurgencies raids, kidnappings and shelling, is as ridiculously dangerous as it is probable.

Rutte, now the facto, the leader of a rag tag remnant of European NATO forces, will not hesitate to send, western kids to the frontline, to be martyred, their corpses, dressed in white peace keeping fatigues, presenting great photo opportunities to keep the propaganda war going, present the Russians as monsters and drive a wedge between the two main parties.

Sick possibilities, we can only pray, will never ever come to fruition. I just hope Team Trump and Team Putin realize, how sick the puppies they are dealing with, really are.
