warning about war . . . has projected a Panic Cycle in the Euro for 2026. Smart money is moving out of Europe, and that even amounts to the gold supply in London moving to New York, strangely as it did for World Wars I and II. This old hatred of Russia and their thirst to conquer it for its wealth linger and seem unrelenting. --Martin Armstrong
Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference in Berlin fantastically defended American principles to the face of Europe.
Vance gave a scathing critique of Europe's build-up to war in the Ukraine. JW Williams explains,
Vance gave a speech calling out Europe and the UK for violations of free speech and prosecuting thought crimes. He also condemned the threat of annulling elections if voters go against the agenda, following the recent annulment of Romania’s election. He said that the most pressing matter is mass migration and he. pointed out that one in five people living in Germany is a foreign migrant.
Excellent job, Vance. And though Vance acknowledged shared values with Europe, he also affirmed his anti-Ukraine war position by indicating that the US would be siding with Russia.
Williams continues,
Vance spoke about shared values between Europe and the US, and characterized the US as a democracy, however, the United States was created as a Constitutional Republic intended to protect individual rights, which many Americans have forgotten. –JW WIlliams
EUROPE'S RESPONSE?
Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-chief at the Economist, felt the betrayal. She began her rant,
Well, the world changed yesterday.” The anti-Americanism is percolating to a boil.She continued: “Ukraine’s future, European security and transatlantic relations were all thrown into the air by a torrent of announcements and attacks from the new administration.”
Armstrong summarizes,
This refusal by Europe to seek peace has given new meaning to our computer, which has been warning about war and has projected a Panic Cycle in the Euro for 2026. Smart money is moving out of Europe, and that even amounts to the gold supply in London moving to New York, strangely as it did for World Wars I and II. This old hatred of Russia and their thirst to conquer it for its wealth linger and seem unrelenting.
I cannot express the conversations I have had, and it certainly appears that the entrenched anti-democratic political establishment denies the European people even to vote for who is the head of Europe or any of these people making decisions that are all pointing to war. Kaja Kallas, who is now the Vice-President of the European Commission and the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, is NOT elected by the European people yet has pronounced that any peace deal Trump hammer out with Putin will be ignored by the EU. Does anyone ask the European people if they want to go to war with Russia and risk their way of life, all for a territorial grab by Ukraine?
Armstrong continues,
Zanny Minton Beddoes continued,
J.D. Vance, used his Munich address to deliver a blistering critique of European democracy, excoriating what he saw as unwarranted constraints on free speech, the failure to address mass migration and misguided attempts to marginalise populist parties. In effect, he backed the far-right Alternative for Deutschland, a week before the German election. I was sitting in the hall watching him speak, and the shock was astonishing. “Putin could have given that speech,” someone near me pointed out.”
She added,
this “Trump quake may be the catalyst Europe needs to take greater responsibility for its own security. That security requires a credibly defended and Westward-focused Ukraine. And it means much more investment in defence. Even in Munich everyone understood spending needed to rise a lot, and fast. “We got the message,” said Germany’s president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier.”
When FDR went to Boston and wanted to send troops to Europe, the people said no way! In Boston, they said that he expected the Irish to go defend the English after what they did to Ireland. Congress rejected a Declaration of War. It took FDR scheming to provoke Japan to attack Pearl Harbor, and that was the only way to get the US involved in World War II. I fear now that the Neocons control Europe and the European press, they will start this war and then try to invoke Article 5 to force Trump in, but if he stands his ground, I will not put it beyond them to try to assassinate Trump and even Vance to fulfill their dream of World War III.
Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference called Europe out for what it is. It is now out in the open that they rigged the Romanian elections and dare to claim they will do the same if the AfD wins. What is taking place from sources in Germany is that the AfD is now seen as not some conspiracy theory but legitimate after Vance’s speech. Looking closely, you will see that Vance did not receive any respect. You will see the military leaders there, and nobody applauded. They want war. My sources in Germany say that commentators are already saying that F the USA and Europe now have to send in troops to Ukraine, and other sources are stating that there is serious consideration of forming a European army for war with Russia. Zelensky is on the edge of his dream to invade and destroy every Russian on the face of the earth. Our May 15th target may involve this breach with the USA, and Europe is already saying they will not follow whatever Trump does.
From JW Williams,
On February 13, 2025, a 24-year-old Afghan migrant was arrested for driving a car into a labor demonstration in Munich, Germany. The attack happened the day before JD Vance gave his speech at the the Munich Security Conference, an annual gathering of international foreign and security policy officials.
