“Germany and Europe better be very careful. Germany's fertility rate is 1.45. Europe's, in aggregate, is only about 1.5. We're at least 1.6. We said years ago in 2014, NATO, pay 2% of GDP and hold your own and pull your own weight. And now it's 10 years, 11 years later and we still have nine NATO countries that will not do it, especially Germany. ...

 “They have 16% of the population was not born in Germany. France is almost as bad. And they do not assimilate, intermarry, and integrate like we do. They are looking at this huge Russian-Ukrainian war on their borders where maybe 1.5 million people have been killed or wounded or missing. And they're critical of the United States that pays the greatest proportion of the NATO budget and who puts Europe under its nuclear shield. And they are damning us.”

“being left” is a religious creed. It admits of no other God.

Europe is lost.The elites of Europe have managed to cheat and prevaricate the rise of populist movements in France and in Germany, and have violated the Helsinki accords , with their oligarchs baiting the Russian bear unsuccessfully.

NATO is going to fade. The members will not pay their fair share.

The USA needs a new strategic alliance consisting of Poland, Sweden, Norway , Denmark ( Greenland) , Iceland and Canada. These are stable democracies yet unsullied by the curse of elitist political class, WEF thinking. The rest of “progressive” Europe will have to fend for itself as minarets will be added to most of their capital legislatures.

Having an effective alliance in the North Atlantic will allow America to work bearding the dragon of China with the alliance of Japan, Philippines, North Korea,India and Australia.

Israel has Iran on its heels and is now going to be economically isolated and weakened while its population is now ready to overthrow the Mullahs.Saudi and the other Sunna nations secretly support Israel.

This is the way that the Trump leadership may be evolving the an International Order of Genuine Democracies.
