Europe Is Dying
American Thinker ^ | 7 Dec, 2025 | J.B. Shurk

And its totalitarian assaults on free speech represent a national security threat to the United States.

European civilization is dying. The Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy makes this clear. It has squandered its post-WWII economic and military assistance from the United States by investing in centralized, socialist bureaucracies and expansive welfare States. By chasing the “climate change” con as a means for European governments to justify total control over the drivers of economic growth, European nations have forsaken cheap energy exploration, private entrepreneurship, and technological innovation. By depending upon the United States to defend its territorial interests, European nations have destroyed their military capabilities.

In an effort to “juice” their economies with cheap labor and artificial demographic growth, European nations have opened their borders to tens of millions of foreign immigrants. The natural result is that foreign cultures have steadily eroded and replaced millennia-old European cultures without much resistance. The Trump administration believes Europe could be effectively “erased” within twenty years.

When living things die, they tend to lash out. Europe is no exception. Its political elites have decided to pretend that everything is okay and that the continent remains the life-force of the entire world. In order to buttress this delusion, European governments have embraced censorship and State-approved propaganda on a scale as obscene as anything that might occur in communist China. Controlling the “narrative” and silencing dissent are the last gasps of every civilization on its deathbed.

Every day some new horror story emerges from the United Kingdom in which an ordinary citizen is treated as a terrorist for merely expressing an opinion or defending a personal belief. A recent example involves thirty-four-year-old mother of four Elizabeth Kinney. It appears Kinney and a former friend were texting about a male acquaintance who had allegedly caused Kinney harm

Where do you think Europe will try to unload their imigrant problem to? Yes Canada and the US.

Europe is dying because they promised ‘cradle to grave’ welfare benefits.

The workers chose to receive welfare benefits vs a salary.

So the leaders imported millions of foreign workers to do the work the national workers refused to do.

The USA has a similar problem that has not yet gotten as bad as Europe.

Because we’re not allied to Russia. We haven’t massively subsidized and defended Russia for several generations.

I don’t think so. Not as long as Trump is POTUS. If the Democrats win again, borders will be open and our country will be done for anyway.

I’ve given up on going to AT due to their monetization model. If I happen across a leprechaun with his pot of gold, I might join but it’s not in the retirement budget now.

1914-1918 - 15 million dead was a mortal blow.

Russia is a known dictatorship and violator of human rights. It doesn’t share our values. NATO countries are supposed to be democracies that share our values, Turkey excepted. They are our allies.

Our NATO allies must take on more of the defense burden. Since 1945 the U.S. has provided the security umbrella for Europe paying a disproportionate share of the burden, which has allowed Europe to establish generous welfare states. As the world’s largest debtor nation, the U.S. can no longer afford to provide the bulk of the costs for Europe’s defense.

Why bring up Russia and Ukraine? They are not in NATO.

Imagine actually letting your country get colonized by hostile forces. Why even have an Army when you gladly invite the enemy in and give them free stuff as part of the invitation. The rapes and stabbings are just a taste of the misery to come. Thank goodness we have Trump putting an end to it here!

The written word was England’s pride and genius. Can you imagine a guy like Starmer in Shakespear’s plays?

There's a reason the United States allied with Russia against Europe not in one, but two wars! And it could happen a third time.

Thing is: They are wallowing in it. Ask any of them, and they’ll tell you they are superior to us culturally.

Of course, the superiors here are trying to catch up - hard.

That’s why Trump is likely contemplating abandoning NATO.

What's killing Europe is mass, unfettered, incompatable 3rd world migration - allowed by their "leaders."

Despite promises of migration turnaround, 100,000 asylum seekers have entered Germany so far this year

Nearly 30% of Glasgow’s schoolchildren can’t speak English.

Fertility disaster: Births plummet in Sweden to lowest level since 1751 (you can be sure these are not Muslim births).

Russia was a major participant in World War I, entering the war in 1914 on the side of the Allied Powers (the Entente) against the Central Powers. The country’s involvement was marked by initial military actions on the Eastern Front and severe internal consequences, including economic crisis and mass casualties, which ultimately led to the February Revolution of 1917 and the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II. Russia officially withdrew from the war in 1918 after signing the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.The United States entered World War I on April 6, 1917.

WWII was an alliance of convenience. Germany declared war on the U.S. on Dec 11, 1941. The Soviet Union was a communist country, which did not share our values. Stalin was a dictator. When the war was over, the alliance ceased to exist. The Soviets became an adversary almost before the war was over. The negotiations at Yalta were not friendly discussions among allies.

Let europe die if that’s what it wants, but let it die without our tax dollars going to them via foreign aid. Stop all foreign aid except to Israel.

I hope we have started creating contingency plans for securing England and France’s nuclear weapons for the eventual Islamic takeover.
