In the wake of President Trump’s bold appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he stood firm on America’s interests in Greenland and suspended tariffs as a gesture of goodwill, the usual chorus of European critics has piped up. Along with their America-hating allies like the neo-Bolshevik New York Times, and about 80% of the world’s media, they will say that the American President “backed down” or that “China won” because the failure of the USA is what they yearn for and have long sought. The truth is that Trump never had any intention of invading Greenland. How frigging stupid and gullible are these skunks? Trump played them like a Woolworth violin, and it’s what they deserve.
President Trump seeks U.S. control of Greenland because it provides a vital natural land base in the Arctic for bolstering American defense—securing early warning systems, missile defense like the proposed Golden Dome, and a stronger position to counter growing Russian and Chinese military and economic aggression in the region. This strategic move isn’t just about U.S. security; it would also shield Europe from those same threats, ensuring the Arctic remains free from adversarial footholds that could endanger NATO allies across the Atlantic. Yet, despite benefiting from seven decades of American protection—often at great cost to U.S. taxpayers—many European leaders and nations react with resentment and resistance, preferring to obstruct Trump rather than show gratitude or cooperate with their steadfast ally. Their ingratitude reveals a deeper preference for seeing America weakened than for accepting enhanced security under U.S. leadership.
Margaret Thatcher nailed it in 1993 when she called out these Euro-grubs and cowards for lacking courage to do what’s right and smart for their own destiny when they have to make any decision that requires thoughtful resolve and savvy insight.
Thatcher said, “They’re a weak lot, some of them in Europe, you know. Weak. Feeble.”
Germany, France, and their allies in the EU are once again lecturing the United States on “world order” and multilateralism, as if they hold the moral high ground. But let’s be clear: these nations, with their checkered histories and ongoing dependence on American strength, have no business playing the referee. It’s time for them to sit down, shut up, and recognize that the global stage they strut on was built—and is still protected—by the United States.
Under leaders like Joe Biden, Europe got away with freeloading and backtalk. With Trump back in charge, that era ends. America First isn’t just a slogan; it’s a necessary correction to decades of ingratitude.
Start with Germany. Their president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, recently decried U.S. policies as “destroying the world order.” The irony is staggering. This is the same Germany that unleashed two world wars in the 20th century, plunging humanity into unimaginable horror. We’re talking about at least a billion lives upended—families shattered, economies ruined, generations scarred by death, displacement, and despair.
The Holocaust alone stands as an eternal stain, but add in the millions lost in trenches, bombings, and occupations, and the ripple effects touch every corner of the globe. Post-1945 remorse and reconstruction don’t erase that.
Germany’s “culture of restraint” today is admirable in theory, but it’s also convenient—a way to hide behind economic power while shirking real responsibility. They poll at 71% viewing America as an adversary under Trump, yet they rely on NATO, which is overwhelmingly funded by U.S. taxpayers. Without American intervention in World War II, Germany might still be under ruins or Soviet control. And now they oppose Trump’s strategic moves in the Arctic?
Please. Their opposition isn’t principle; it’s envy of an American leader who demands fair play. Trump loves America enough to call this out, refusing to let Berlin dictate terms while benefiting from our security umbrella.
France is no better- arguably worse, wrapped in a veneer of sophistication that masks profound insecurity. They’ve long harbored a deep-seated resentment toward the United States, born from the knowledge that without us, they’d have crumbled repeatedly.
In World War II, France folded like a cheap suitcase under Hitler’s blitzkrieg, surrendering in weeks and collaborating for years under Vichy. The myth of a heroic French Resistance? As radio icon Howard Stern quipped, it was more legend than reality—a handful of brave souls amid widespread acquiescence. Hitler himself dismissed the French as weak, waltzing into Paris with contempt, knowing they posed no real threat. He respected the Italians’ fighting spirit more, even as allies. Fast-forward, and France’s colonial misadventures in Haiti, Vietnam, and Algeria reveal the same pattern: stir up trouble, then flee when the heat rises, leaving chaos for others—often America—to clean up.
Vietnam? France’s mess became our tragedy. Haiti? Their exploitation set the stage for endless instability.
Still, French leaders today posture as guardians of liberty, criticizing Trump’s tariffs and Greenland ambitions as aggressive. This from a nation that needed American blood to liberate it twice in the 20th century—first in World War I, then again in 1944. Without D-Day, Paris might still echo with German commands. France hates owing anyone, especially the “uncultured” Americans they mock as cowboys. But their self-absorption—their “smelly Frenchness,” as some call it—blinds them to reality. They envy our success because it highlights their decline from empire to EU bureaucrat.
Under Biden, they got a pass, with weak deals that let them undercut U.S. interests. Trump changes that. He demands reciprocity: pay your NATO dues, stop blocking American strategy in key regions like the Arctic, and quit the holier-than-thou act. His “framework” deal in Davos shows he’s willing to negotiate from strength, not supplication.
This isn’t just about Germany and France; it’s the whole EU cabal of lesser players—Denmark whining about Greenland, Sweden and Finland fretting over tariffs, Britain post-Brexit still clinging to outdated relevance. These “little punks,” as they sometimes behave, forget that modern Europe exists because of American sacrifice. We rebuilt them via the Marshall Plan, shielded them from Soviet aggression during the Cold War, and continue to underwrite their defense. Yet they kick us around, imposing regulations that hamper American businesses, criticizing our policies while enjoying our innovations—from tech to medicine.
Polls show Europeans broadly distrust Trump, but that’s projection: they fear a leader who won’t tolerate their freeloading. They’re like children who hate their new stepfather’s new house rule. Biden’s administration emboldened this; his globalist pandering let Europe rob us blind through unfair trade and energy deals.
Trump, however, embodies the patriotic resolve America needs. He’s a guy who loves this country fiercely, demanding respect without apology. His approach isn’t bullying—it’s justice. Europe must recognize that the “block” they play on—the free world—was forged in American furnaces, paid for with our lives and dollars. Without us, there’d be no EU, no WEF schmoozing in Swiss Alps. Trump’s not here to destroy alliances; he’s here to make them fair. If Germany and France want to matter, they should contribute more, complain less. Otherwise, step aside and let the real guardians of freedom—America under Trump—handle the threats from China, Russia, and beyond.
In the end, this is about truth: Europe owes its peace to the nation they love to scorn. Trump’s unyielding stance reminds them of that debt. It’s thoughtful patriotism—acknowledging history’s lessons without corniness. We honor our heroes by ensuring their sacrifices weren’t for ingrates. So, Europe: take a seat. America’s got this.
Oh, wait a second.
And then there’s Canada, our polite northern neighbor, raising eyebrows and clutching pearls over the whole thing as if they’re not the ones who’ve spent years enjoying the world’s biggest free security ride while occasionally poking the bear with their own little tariffs and Arctic posturing—really, it’s like watching a child try to lecture the grown-ups on responsibility. Shut up and put on your mittens.
Luke 6:35 (ESV): But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
This verse highlights God’s kindness extended even to the ungrateful, serving as a model for believers while underscoring the sin of failing to appreciate or reciprocate goodness shown by others.
LET US PRAY:
Heavenly Father, guard our nation and hearts from Europeans and shivering Canadians who fail to appreciate the longstanding love, sacrifice, and goodness the USA has extended through aid, protection, and alliance over many years. Soften hardened European hearts toward gratitude; expose ingratitude of the smelly French as sin. May we remain faithful in kindness, trusting You to judge and redeem. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
