Europe joins the “resistance”? Really?

The Euroweenies will do what they always do. And they don’t do it smartly, or very well. That’s why we still have US troops in Europe over seventy-years after World War II.

To an extent they do face a difficult choice, thanks to Donald Trump. They can side with the US in its contest with the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is, let’s keep in mind, a major exporter of terrorism and is supported by Vladimir Putin’s Russia, or they can support Iran. It appears that the Euroweenies, because of their disdain for Trump (so evident in this editorial), are going to line up with Iran. Think about that for a second. Do they so dislike Trump, that they’ll back a leading global terrorist state? Are they so disdainful of Trump, that they are willing to distance themselves from the US and take a position favored by Russia?

Europe, well let’s be honest, Western Europe, is playing a dangerous game. The danger lies in creating space between the US and its NATO allies while Russia lurks to the east. Who knows, as of yet, how the countries of Eastern Europe are going to react to this. I know that there are economic incentives to increase business with Iran. But, keep in mind, there are business incentives to strengthen business ties with the US, and it’s much larger market. Isn’t Trump currently making an issue of European trade imbalances?

In my opinion, what we are seeing in Europe is more evidence of the stupidity of the Western European elites. They keep burying their heads in the sand, as they lose control of their own populations. And, so now, at a moment that they should be strengthening their ties with the US, they have set about to purposefully weaken them, all in an effort to do what? Make nice with Russia? Make nice with Iran? Does such a policy make sense?
