The EU’s pro-war, globalist, anti-American leaders are doing everything in their power—including weighing what’s being called a “nuclear option” of deliberately shaking the foundations of the U.S. economy—to block a peace settlement in Ukraine, even as President Trump advances direct negotiations aimed at finally ending the nearly four-year-long inter-Slavic war.
According to reports, the globalist bloc in Europe is threatening to sell-off $2.34 trillion in US Treasury holdings if Trump withdraws support for Ukraine—an action that some analysts claim could trigger a downturn more severe than the 2008 crash.
Recently, behind closed doors, American and Ukrainian delegations met again in Miami, signaling Washington’s renewed push for a peace settlement instead of endless military escalation and the unending flow of cash into what many see as the black pit of corruption within the Ukrainian government.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio joined Trump’s Russia envoy Steve Witkoff and adviser Jared Kushner for the talks. Trump said afterward there is “a real shot at a deal,” reinforcing his long-held promise to stop the war before it spirals further.
Europe’s entrenched ruling class—deeply unpopular at home while increasingly irrelevant geopolitically— however, is panicking at the idea of peace breaking out on terms they and their globalist backers cannot control. Brussels and Berlin fear Trump may reset relations with Moscow and sideline the EU, which has spent years posturing as the moral authority of the Western alliance.
According to reports, one European intelligence service distributed internal memos warning that Trump’s outreach to Russia could upend NATO’s preferred strategy. These documents accuse Washington of considering commercial cooperation with Moscow—something Europe once embraced before its own sanctions backfired.
Rather than welcoming diplomacy, EU officials are allegedly weighing economic retaliation if Trump dares to end the war on his own terms. Sources say some governments have floated the idea of dumping portions of their massive holdings of U.S. debt as a form of pressure.
Such a move would be a dramatic escalation—essentially an attempt to destabilize the American economy to keep the Ukraine conflict alive. Analysts note this financial “nuclear option” could send shockwaves through global markets and severely devalue the dollar.
European technocrats appear willing to risk worldwide turmoil to preserve their geopolitical ambitions. Their threat reflects how far the EU has drifted from serving its citizens and how committed it remains to endless confrontation with Russia.
Trump supporters argue this proves the President is right: Europe has grown dependent on U.S. protection while undermining American interests. By pursuing peace, Trump is challenging a globalist order that profits from permanent conflict.
EU officials fear losing both influence and leverage should peace be restored under Trump’s leadership. As midterm elections approach in the U.S., Brussels hopes its threats will intimidate Washington into maintaining the status quo.
“threatening to sell-off $2.34 trillion in US Treasury holdings”? And who are they going to sell that debt to?
And here I thought it was Red China that would play this card.
That would be an act of War. America will survive. EU will not.
If they do, then they suffer as well.
Call their bluff. Where are they going to move their 2.34 Trillion dollars to? Gee, maybe we need to raise tariffs on the EU to offset the budget hole. ait is telling that WE, in debt as we are, are their safe haven to park money.
The EU is bound and determined to become the enemy of Russia and the US.
First, they want to confiscate a couple of hundred billion in Russian assets.
The EU has fined X and Elon Musk personally in a blatant attack on Free Speech and violates the rights on an American Company and citizen, then they threaten financial Armageddon by dumping US Treasuries hoping to trigger an economic meltdown in the US.
The EU isn’t going to win a lot of friends by becoming the enemy of Russia and the US at the same time.
As part of the US Peace Plan, I suggest we nuke Brussels. I think it would help.
Priority One is a clandestine "wet ops" to take Z-man out of the picture. He has been the number one obstacle to peace.
As for Europe, stop all exports off LNG. Winter is a great time to play that game. They pissed
off Russia already, no gas there. Looks like Europe is going to be "out of gas", so to speak …
Of course if we weren’t addicted to spending and hadn’t racked up massive debt they wouldn’t have any leverage.
Let them dump the debt and within nanoseconds we should dump NATO.
Ironic, a good chunk of our debt is due to spending beyond our share for NATO, in defense of Western Europe.
“According to reports”
Twice said.
An absolute waste of bits, as is typical for GP.
They’ve never been worth a sh!t.
There must be more money than we initially recognized being generated by this Project Ukraine money-laundering operation.
They’re desperate to keep this deadly scam going.
First, they hated and laughed at Trump in his first term despite his good will. Second, as globalists, they only have loyalty to their own class. They couldn’t give a $hit about Europe and Ukraine and how many people will die in an endless, needless war. They are unelected people who see themselves as an elite class to govern as they see fit, and this especially goes out to the WEF. Trump should get rid of the bastards and make them swallow their on debt.
Only $2.3 Trillion?
Trump’s billionaire pals could buy that starting with Musk.
The EUronazi outfit has been hostile for quite some time. We need to be careful
it would be a shame to lose the museums and old buildings, but you might be right
That would be an act of War. America will survive. EU will not.
It’s an economic threat. However, I don’t see it as an act of war. Sometimes the answer is ‘Let them’, and we will on from there.
What seems apparent is that little z, Vlad the Invader, and the EU really want this war and the United States and Trump do not.
“Sources say some governments have floated the idea of dumping portions of their massive holdings of U.S. debt as a form of pressure.”
They can only fire this bullet once. After they sell, the leverage of potentially selling is gone.
