đșđžđȘđș Donald Trump has shown up the European Union. Heâs revealed that the worldâs largest single market is a paper tiger to be kicked around, with basically no leverage or strength to resist American demands.
All of these supposedly fierce backroom tariff negotiations have yielded an incredibly one-sided deal â really an unparalleled embarrassment. As announced yesterday, the EU promises to invest $600 billion in the U.S. economy and to make $750 billion worth of âstrategic purchasesâ of oil, gas and the like over the next three years. We also promise to buy a bunch of American military equipment.
In return for giving the Americans $1.35 trillion, we earn the privilege of a 15% baseline tariff on all of our exports to America and we drop our own tariffs to zero. At least we donât have to pay the 30% tariffs Trump threatened!
While von der Leyen was trying weakly to put a happy face on her total failure, Trump gave her what we might call a softer Zelensky treatment. He twisted the knife in the wound, calling out the idiocy of EU wind energy in an extended soliloquy that will surely keep the fact-checkers and the regime deboonkers up late for weeks to come. I transcribe his remarks in full, because the whole moment was wonderful:
And the other thing I say to Europe, we will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States. Theyâre killing us. Theyâre killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains. And Iâm not talking about airplanes. Iâm talking about beautiful plains, the beautiful areas in the United States. And you look up and you see windmills all over the place. Itâs a horrible thing. Itâs the most expensive form of energy. Itâs no good.
Theyâre made in China, almost all of them. When they start to rust and rot in eight years, you canât really turn them off. You canât bury them. They wonât let you bury the propellers, you know, the props, because theyâre a certain type of fiber that doesnât go well with the land. Thatâs what they say. The environmentalists say you canât bury them because the fiber doesnât go well with the land. In other words, if you bury it, it will harm our soil.
The whole thing is a con job. Itâs very expensive. And in all fairness, Germany tried it and, wind doesnât work. You need subsidy for wind and energy should not need subsidy. With energy, you make money. You donât lose money.
All the while von der Leyen had to sit there, absolutely frozen except for a curiously accelerated rate of blinking, as she learned in real time that weakness and submission do not in fact invite conciliation.
Obviously nobody would take issue with Trump striking the best deal he can for the United States, but from my perspective this deal is a low point for Brussels, who are presently strangling our industry with overregulation and literal deindustrialisation policies, and who cannot even leverage the bundled negotiating power of the 27 EU member states to do anything but promise to send the Americans over a trillion dollars and pay 15% tariffs forever.
The EU sucks partly because Europe is not a country and the EU does not have clearly articulated geopolitical interests, and partly because some of its most influential member states have forgotten the very real geopolitical interests that they do have. People like Ursula von der Leyen are stuck in a universalist liberal fantasy that never really existed and that has been openly repudiated for at least a decade now.
The answer to everything is not more human rights, more green energy, more third-worldist aid funding and more universalism. Sooner or later we will have to figure out how to survive in a divided world and how to secure resources for our economies. That project is utterly beyond unelected oblivious losers like Ursula von der Leyen, and it is also beyond withered Euro pseudo-statesmen like Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

The West faces the same grim future, if we donât change course.

Ohio has introduced a new bill that would allow utility companies to automatically adjust customer thermostats in order to reduce load on the power grid "during periods of high demand".
Expect to see this being rolled out across the entire Western world as the Net Zero agenda's push towards unreliable and intermittent "renewable" energy causes widespread energy shortages in formerly energy secure nations.

đš Ignore the rhetoric. Watch the patterns:
French army chief says public must be ready for high-intensity warfareâtonight. Hospital wards are being prepped (France, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Estonia and Latvia). Train after train rolls east with heavy armor. Drone incursion theatrics are labeled false flags by Russia, with rumors Ukraine is planning an even bigger false flag swirling.
Trump greenlights long-range strikes into Russia. Gold and silver are spiking.
The Vaccine passport Digital ID rollout has been met with a lackluster response, so theyâll flip the table. A complete collapse the West â like that the Deagle predictions describe â is not inconceivable. For each of DoD, ARPA-H, Palantir/Ginkgo, there is a mirror copy in China/BRICS, equally ready to be deployed after what may lay ahead.

đšBREAKING - The Chief of staff of the French army issues a statement warning of an "imminent high intensity warfare readiness".
The Chief of Staff of the French Army has issued a public statement indicating a need for readiness for high-intensity warfare "as early as tonight." The statement is part of an effort to prepare the French public for a potential direct military confrontation with the Russian Federation.
The Department of Justice âïž has officially shuttered their notorious "Community Relations Service" after being defunded by the Big Beautiful Bill.
The CRS was a shadowy group of government lawyers and DOJ employees that leaned on the families of White victims of black and other non-White crimes to publicly forgive the perpetrators.
Coercion ranged from monetary bribes to outright threats of legal persecution if the family didn't read their pre-arranged statements.
Now that they're gone, crimes like Iryna Zutroska's murder, as well as the murder of Logan Frederico, are now being publicly addressed and condemned by the aggrieved families for what they were, targeted racially motivated killings of White, often young, men and women by career criminals perpetually releases by Soros funded and directed District Attorney offices.
