LONDON — Nigel Farage, who led the charge on Brexit, Britain’s push to quit the European Union, and more recently founded the anti-immigration Reform UK party, was euphoric when Donald Trump swept back into the White House. Farage had campaigned for Trump, visited him at his Mar-a-Lago estate and compared him, favorably, to Winston Churchill.
...
Farage was an early supporter of Trump’s strikes on Iran, but as anger at the war — and at the president — grows among Britons, who will vote in local elections May 7, he is backtracking. Reform UK’s standing has dipped in recent weeks, according to surveys, in part because of what some pollsters call “the Trump effect.”
Farage is not alone. Across Britain and Europe, nationalist leaders are retreating from Trump after having hailed his second term as something of a second coming for populists. Fifteen months in, the symbiosis between Trump’s MAGA and Europe’s nationalist parties has reached a potential breaking point.
Pro-Trump politicians from London to Rome — who were already squirming around the Europe-bashing president’s punitive tariffs, threats to seize Greenland and surprise attack on Iran — have found starker red lines in his conduct of the war, genocidal rhetoric and verbal broadside against Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff.
Tino Chrupalla, co-chair of Germany’s ascendant right-wing populist Alternative for Germany party (AfD), accused the Trump administration of potential “war crimes” in targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran.
Alice Weidel, the AfD leader who hosted Vice President JD Vance at a meeting last year and celebrated Trump’s vocal support for “patriotic European parties,” said recently on social media, “The renewed destabilization of the Middle East is not in Germany’s interest and must be brought to an end.”

My analysis: European "populist" politicians are feeling the heat in their no longer free countries, but still want power within the existing system.
Maybe by 2030.
Collapse of the EU still equals Islam.
Yup.
Farage is a complete fake.
A. You can never go too far.
B. If I’m gonna get busted, it will not be by a guy like that!
Seminar Euros: “I used to be a faggy Brit firebrand, but this time Trump’s gone too far! “

Just go to a capital in a random country such as London, Brussels, Paris and you'll see that the barbarians are already at the gate.
It is equivalent of 476 AD in Rome.
It took the Roman's centuries to get to that point.
But this time around? A couple of decades. Or 3 generations or so.
Or he’s a politician at his core and he understands the political landscape in his jurisdiction very well.
Without Iran being the money channel nobody funds the expansion of the harder of the Islamic Sects that thrive on violence for the next 20 years. Those nations are being taken over slowly by a politically powerful upper middle class (reducing the power of the royals) that will demand oil money be spent in the same western social state ways as the EU. Once each state starts spending upwards of 20k euros on each citizen the desire to be mobile and go to Scotland, Austria, Poland will be reduced.
Do they have the concept of Europe first and ability to make it happen?
Eventually, you’ll have Elites from London, Paris, Brussels move to Warsaw.
Farage is the biggest political star F-er on the planet and Trump is the biggest celebrity in the political universe. Once the war is over, Farage will be back kissing Trump’s ass and begging for a photo op. And Trump will be loving every minute of it.
I do not think, this is not even the case.
Everybody makes statements, and when they are taken out of context, it may sound like they do not like Trump.
Trump is actually very popular in Europe and many politicians are proud of his endorsements.
In today’s edition of “Why We Hate Trump,” I give you the entire WaPo and WSJ!
It's been confirmed he doesn't.
He has no clue how to translate favorable opinion polls and an impressive vote share at general elections into POLITICAL POWER in a parliamentary system of gubmint.
Although he is a politician at his core, 'cause he talk a lot.
“ Just go to a capital in a random country such as London, Brussels, Paris and you’ll see that the barbarians are already at the gate.”
My wife and I went to London last May, you can really see the clash of cultures there. The locals call east London “little Bangladesh” it’s a dirty, trashy area of the city. We hung out with some of the locals at a couple of the pubs along the Thames, they are really pissed about what happened to their country.
NATO is a mutual defense pact. A threat or attack against one is a threat or attack against all. These cowards conspired with America’s cowards to ignore Iran’s mounting threats and attacks against the U.S. for nearly 50 years until the threats became existential. Now when we decide to eliminate the threats our supposed NATO buddies bail on us and lie about it.
There’s a special fire in hell for people like them.
Personally I don’t give a damn.
