Ex-NATO General stuns MAGA world by calling on Europe to wage war against the United States if Trump seizes Greenland.

 

Did anyone think that in their lifetime they'd read these words: "Europe to wage war against the United States?"

Trump/Project 2025 did this.






BREAKING: Ex-NATO General stuns MAGA world by calling on Europe to wage war against the United States if Trump seizes Greenland.
The formerly unthinkable is now being said out loud by European allies in reaction to Donald Trump’s illegal kidnapping of a sovereign nation’s president and his obvious designs on taking Greenland from Denmark.
A former top NATO commander, Lt. Gen. Michel Yakovleff of France, has delivered a stunning warning to the world: If Donald Trump moves to seize Greenland, Europe must be ready to fight back—even against the United States.
Yakovleff, who spent decades at NATO’s highest military levels, didn’t mince words. If Trump threatens European sovereignty, he says, Europe must be prepared to defend itself—even if that means a historic rupture with Washington. “If Trump moves on Greenland, Europeans must be ready to fight the U.S.,” he said flatly. This isn’t posture nor bluster. Those are fighting words.
This is what Trump’s America has become: so reckless, so imperial, so hostile to allies that a retired NATO general is openly discussing a “divorce” from the United States and the end of NATO itself.
Yakovleff warned that Trump’s bullying rhetoric and open threats against Greenland— a territory that's part of Denmark, a NATO ally — are incompatible with any alliance based on mutual defense and respect. If Trump treats allies like conquered territory, Yakovleff argues, Europe must respond by protecting its own sovereignty, even if it means expelling U.S. forces from key bases like Ramstein and Naples.
Let’s examine what this really means: Trump’s behavior is now so destabilizing that serious European leaders are contemplating kicking the U.S. military out of Europe.
This isn’t happening in a vacuum. Yakovleff previously went viral for saying what many world leaders quietly believe: that Trump “works for Putin,” or at minimum advances Vladimir Putin’s interests by undermining NATO, weakening Ukraine, and sowing chaos among democratic allies. Whether through incompetence, ego, or something darker, Trump is doing exactly what the Kremlin wants: breaking the Western alliance from the inside. And now, the consequences are coming into focus.
Yakovleff is clear-eyed about the imbalance of power — Europe doesn’t want war with the U.S. But he’s even clearer about the stakes. If America abandons the rules-based order and starts threatening allies with military force, then NATO, by definition, is already dead.
This is the cost of Trump’s authoritarian fantasy politics: allies preparing for confrontation, alliances collapsing, and America transformed from the leader of the free world into a global threat that even its closest partners must plan to resist.
Trump promised “America First.” What he’s delivering is America Alone—and feared.

U.S. Rep. Bill Keating:

"When terror came to U.S. soil on 9/11, Denmark stood with the United States and joined the coalition in Afghanistan. They lost 44 soldiers there - one of the highest per capita losses of any nation. This is the nation Donald Trump is disparaging - our NATO ally that answered the call.

The future of Greenland is up to its people, not Stephen Miller and Donald Trump."

Good for the general! The empire desiring dipsh*t Trump and his crew of MAGA morons need to understand they are hated by most of the rest of the planet and its people. A**hole bullies like Trump eventually get their deserved comeuppance. Trump's comeuppance can not happen soon enough!
