EU self-inflicted energy, defense and immigration policies are cascading failures crippling member nations. The only ones who can fix the problems are themselves, and they&#8217;d best get cracking.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Europe kaput? Washington says this is Europe\u2019s last chance to choose<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ralph Schoellhammer<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Trump administration\u2019s 2025 National Security Strategy dropped last week, and if you are in Brussels or Berlin, you might want to pour yourself a stiff drink before reading it. This is not the usual diplomatic pablum about \u201cshared values\u201d and \u201ctransatlantic partnership.\u201d This is an ultimatum dressed up as strategy, but will Europe listen?<\/p>\n<p>The diagnosis is brutal but accurate: Continental Europe\u2019s share of global GDP has collapsed from 25 per cent in 1990 to 14 per cent today. Cratering birthrates, migration-driven social fragmentation, and what the document calls \u201cthe real and more stark prospect of civilisational erasure\u201d threaten to make the continent \u201cunrecognisable in 20 years or less.\u201d Washington\u2019s message is simple: America will help defend a Europe that believes in itself, but not a civilisational hospice.<br \/>\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br \/>\nHere is the uncomfortable truth: If you want a seat at the table, you need to bring something to it. European leaders demand consultation while 78 per cent of their military purchases go to third countries. They talk about strategic autonomy while depending on American satellites, intelligence, logistics, and precision munitions. This is not a partnership of equals but a protectorate pretending to be an alliance.<\/p>\n<p>The strategy\u2019s most controversial element is its explicit support for what it terms \u201cpatriotic European parties\u201d and its criticism of \u201cactivities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty.\u201d Brussels will view this as intolerable interference.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/brusselssignal.eu\/2025\/12\/washington-ultimatum-europes-last-chance-to-choose\/\">Brussels Signal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We know what&#8217;s best, peasants.
