Several older German politicians and intellectuals said recently that Germany has been an American colony since 1949. The „colonial“ elite has a hard time facing a possible emancipation. I think that most citizens would actually welcome a return of national freedom.

"Liberating Europe is now a top priority for the Trump White House, and 2025 might just be a year of regime change; the year when the peoples of Europe get their freedom back."

It's been apparent over the past 70+ years that the people of Europe don't want their freedoms back.

Having those freedoms implies having the responsibility of maintaining those freedoms.

Europeans have gotten used to the gilded cage prepared for them by their governments and they don't want to lose it.

Even if it means giving up the right to choose their own lives and destiny.

Yes some Europeans have finally woken up after their countries were literally invaded and colonized by foreign cultures.

But most still stubbornly believe in their moral and ethical superiority over that of those "dirty Americans".

We in Canada suffer from the same blindness, that is until Trump came in and dropped the warning that we aren't exempt for our responsibilities and that 25% tariffs aren't a joke and neither is his 51st state trolling.

MEGA! The people of Europe need to grow a set of balls and stand up. They're too compliant.
