Europe Will Dump the United States and Replace It with Ukraine—For Good

History is written by those who dare to make bold trade-offs

This option has always existed—Europe just never acted on it. That is about to change. It is starting to look more and more like Europe does not have a choice and they might as well exercise it.

There are excellent reasons why they should dump the United States—once and probably forever—and tighten their connection with Ukraine

Europeans are panicking over the prospect of losing the U.S. as a strategic partner—but why should they? One reader questioned.

He then added:

"With a well-armed and battle-hardened Ukrainian army standing guard, Europe has a real security asset at its doorstep. A short-term financial sacrifice—six months to a year—could buy a lifetime of security, free from the constant fear of Russian aggression. Instead of mourning the loss of an unpredictable and unreliable ally, it's time to stop looking west for salvation. The real solution is right in their backyard. Look east, support Ukraine, and secure a lasting and dependable peace."

He was right. And the good news is, I’m starting to see the early signs of Europe rising to the challenge—one thrown at their feet by Donald Trump from the west and Vladimir Putin from the east.
