US pushing Europe to militarize–it will not like an independent Europe

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has threatened to not provide Europe enough support if it does not do more militarily itself:

US won’t guarantee European security alone – Hegseth

24 April 2025

European NATO members must overcome their dependence on the US for security and increase their own military spending, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has said.

The US is prioritizing the protection of its own borders “after decades of securing other people’s borders in far-off places,” Hegseth stated on Wednesday. This shift in focus from the Pentagon comes alongside an “increased allied burden-sharing” in strategic regions, he added, …

The EU plans to borrow hundreds of billions of euros to spend on militarization, https://www.rt.com/news/616188-hegseth-europe-security-us/

Scaring the Europeans to spend more on military matters will not end well for the US per Daniel 11:39 and Isaiah 10:5-11.

The reality is that US is not particularly interested in Europe and the Europeans are starting to better understand that:

The End of the Transatlantic Illusion

April 24, 2025

To understand the current unraveling, one must look to the historical roots of the transatlantic commitment to Ukraine. The 2014 Maidan uprising, followed by Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the outbreak of war in Donbas, galvanized Western support for Kiev. NATO and the EU positioned themselves as staunch defenders of Ukrainian sovereignty, framing the conflict as a test of democratic values against authoritarian aggression. The US, under both Obama and Biden, led the charge, funneling billions in military and economic aid while imposing sweeping sanctions on Russia.

But this unity was always fragile, masking divergent interests. For the US, Ukraine was a geopolitical buffer against Russia, a way to project power in Europe’s east. For European powers like Germany and France, the conflict posed economic risks—disrupted energy supplies, trade losses, and refugee flows—tempering their enthusiasm for escalation. Meanwhile, smaller Eastern European states, haunted by their own histories with Moscow, pushed for maximalist support for Kiev, often out of step with the cautious pragmatism of Berlin and Paris.

The election of Donald Trump in 2024 shattered this uneasy coalition. Trump’s “America First” doctrine, which prioritizes domestic concerns and bilateral deals over multilateral alliances, has upended the assumptions underpinning Western unity. His skepticism of NATO, coupled with a willingness to negotiate directly with Moscow, has left European allies scrambling to adapt. …

Europe, caught off guard by America’s pivot, is struggling to fill the void. https://freewestmedia.com/2025/04/24/the-end-of-the-transatlantic-illusion/

America Will Miss Europe’s Dependence When It’s Gone

European self-reliance for security will cost U.S. jobs, profits, and influence.

The United States has long had a clear message to its European allies: Do more!

Spend more on defense, shoulder more risk, accept more inconvenience, spurn Soviet and Russian natural gas, catch Kremlin spies, push back against communist-led trade unions, send European armed forces to fight in U.S. wars—the list was long. Europe’s contribution was never enough. …

But behind Washington’s repeated call for Europe to “do more” usually came a second one: “Not like that.” The worst-kept secret of trans-Atlantic security policy is that from the dawn of the Cold War, the United States sought not only to bind Europe into a common defense against the Soviet Union but also to keep it in a state of tutelage. That meant strangling all attempts to build independent European defense structures or strategies. … the Europeans are serious—deathly serious—about taking care of their own defense and security.  …

Today, the former European Atlanticists who for decades acted as a skeptical, pragmatic brake on any talk of a European army, defense budget, military headquarters, or intelligence service have become the accelerators of change. “We have all turned into Gaullists,” Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp said in February. https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/04/23/us-europe-trump-nato-eu-defense-military-weapons-intelligence-security-russia/

The European Union is not pleased with the US and is moving towards a new world order without US leadership:

World wants more trade with Europe since Trump-driven uncertainty, von der Leyen says

Commission president says Europe is “wide awake” to possibilities of “new world order.”

European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen has noted “a positive side effect” of the tariff uncertainty created by United States President Donald Trump: More world leaders want to do trade deals with the EU.

“I am currently having countless talks with heads of state and government around the world who want to work together with us on the new order,” von der Leyen said in an interview on Tuesday with German newspaper Die Zeit.

“Everyone is asking for more trade with Europe — and it’s not just about economic ties. It is also about establishing common rules and it is about predictability,” she said, adding: “Europe can deliver that.” …

According to the Commission president, Europe is “wide awake” and has the opportunity to play “a strong role in the new world order that is slowly emerging.” 04/15/25 https://www.politico.eu/article/everyone-wants-more-trade-with-europe-amid-trump-tariff-uncertainty-says-von-der-leyen/

Europe wants to lead a coming new world order and, frankly, if it will not get more assistance from the US, it wants the United States out of the way.

Pushing Europe towards it being militaristic is one of the many unintended consequences of the Trump-Vance Administration.

Europe wants to lead a new world order

Many political analysts are commenting on the total melt down of the European Union. Many feel Europe has lost all power, wealth and influence in the world. Is Europe really dead? Will it crumble and fall apart into separate countries as some say? How does Europe feel about its future. Do they have the same feelings as many political analysts? Or does Europe feel confident about its future? In fact, is it even possible that Europe feels so confident about its future that it feels it is ready to take the lead in developing a “new world order,” with Europe as the central power? Listen as Dr. Thiel sheds the light of Biblical Prophecy on the mortal head wound of Rev 13:3. Could that mortal wound relate to Europe? If so, how? What about Europe’s relationship with the United States. Does Europe still consider the USA a friend and ally? Learn what Europe and its new allies do to the United States and the “Five Eyes”! Dan 11:39 he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain – Who rules over many? Who divides the land for gain? What land do they divide? The time is at hand! As we rapidly approach the end times listen in as Dr. Thiel brings to light world events. This includes the world events leading to the “new world order” the fate of the USA.

Here is a link to our video: Europe wants to lead a new world order.

A new world order is in the process of being formed.

It will not be nice, but according to biblical prophecies, it will be led by a European dictator until Jesus returns (Revelation 17:12-13).

Remember that “he who endures to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13) and pray for God’s kingdom to come (Matthew 6:10).
