Germany’s Merkel warns Europe on security in the age of Donald Trump
Angela Merkel and Donald Trump
A reader sent me a link to the following from the EU Observer:
Merkel urges EU to take care of own security
13 January 2017
The EU must take better care of its own security in the Trump era and must establish control of immigration, German chancellor Angela Merkel has said. …
“Let’s not fool ourselves. From the point of view of some of our traditional partners – and I am thinking here about transatlantic relations – there is no eternal guarantee of close cooperation with us Europeans”, she said in a speech in Belgium. …
She added that it would be “naive always to rely on others who would solve the problems in our neighbourhood”.
She also said that the UK’s decision to leave the EU ought to galvanise military cooperation among the 27 remaining member states.
“We should see this [UK] decision as an incentive to work together, to hold Europe together now more than ever”, she said. https://euobserver.com/foreign/136533
Here is something from the German press about this:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said it would be “naive” of the European Union to rely on US support. Instead she called for more solidarity within the EU in the wake of the Brexit vote and Donald Trump’s election. …
As concern grows in Europe about US President-elect Donald Trump’s commitment to transatlantic cooperation, German Chancellor Angela Merkel pushed for the European Union to “take more responsibility” on the world stage during a speech on Thursday in Brussels.
“From the point of view of some of our traditional partners – and I am thinking here as well about the transatlantic relations – there is no eternal guarantee for a close cooperation with us Europeans,” Merkel told an audience in Brussels after receiving honorary doctorate degrees from Belgium’s prestigious Leuven and Ghent universities.
Although the chancellor did not mention Trump by name, she appeared to be referencing the incoming US leader’s remark that he would consider a country’s financial contributions to the NATO alliance before coming to their aid.
“Europe is facing the biggest challenges for decades,” Merkel said mentioning conflicts on its borders like that in Ukraine.
She added that it would be “naive always to rely on others who would solve the problems in our neighborhood.” …
The EU agreed to take first steps toward expanding security and defense cooperation at a summit in December. 1/12/17 http://www.dw.com/en/merkel-no-eternal-guarantee-for-united-states-cooperation-with-eu/a-37115220
I do not think most in the USA realize how concerned the European leaders are because of the election of Donald Trump.
This, though, should not be a surprise to regular readers of this page. Notice something I wrote and posted here one day BEFORE the US election in 2016:
If Donald Trump is elected, the Germans will see this as proof that they cannot rely on the USA for their defense, etc. Germany will push for a European army. Some in Europe actually want Donald Trump to win for this basic reason (see ‘Why Europe Secretly Roots For Donald Trump’?). (Thiel B. Germans opposed to Donald Trump, but not too optimistic about Hillary Clinton. COGwriter, November 7, 2016)
The day AFTER the election, EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker sent out a tweet over Twitter:
Trump wins … Wake up call for Europe to further unite & take charge of its own destiny (11/09/16)
How did I know this?
The Bible shows that Europe will rise up again (Revelation 13:1-10), will have a great army (Daniel 11:25), and will one day defeat the USA (Daniel 11:39). Because of where we are in God’s 6000/7000 year plan, the timing of Donald Trump and Europe’s disdain for him fit.
Now we see that because of Brexit and Donald Trump, the European Commission has taken more steps towards a European military. Angela Merkel has added her voice publicly to support this.
The Europeans will take more steps to separate themselves from the USA. This does not mean that NATO must be abandoned. I have felt for decades that the Europeans would likely attack the USA deceptively under the guise of a NATO or similar exercise, and probably will have ground assistance from Mexico, a nation that Donald Trump has repeatedly offended during his campaign.
Since Donald Trump’s election, the Europeans have intensified their desire to arm themselves. The time will come when Europe will turn to a ‘strongman’ of its own (cf. Revelation 17:12-13; see also Must the Ten Kings of Revelation 17:12 Rule over Ten Currently Existing Nations?) I have also long written that I believe that trade conflict could be the trigger for the start of WWIII. Donald Trump repeatedly said he would negotiate better trade deals for the USA at the expense of other nations.
Although Europe does have its own problems, the Bible says it will rise up anyway, and reorganize:
41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. (Daniel 2:41-43)
25 “He shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South with a great army. (Daniel 11:25)
12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)
Europe is moving towards its own military and tighter reorganization. And ultimately, a reorganization that a Vatican leader will endorse.
While many in the USA are oblivious to what is going on in Europe, the Bible shows that the coming reorganization will NOT end well for the USA or its Anglo-Saxon descended allies (cf. Daniel 8:25; 11:39; Habakkuk 2:6-8).
Angela Merkel and others in Europe are taking steps towards the fulfillment of prophecies that will lead to the destruction of the USA (Daniel 11:39; watch also Do these 7 prophesies point to the end of the USA?), and its Anglo Saxon allies (Daniel 8:25), as well as an Islamic power (Daniel 11:40-43). All of which will be defeated. But eventually, Europe will be defeated (Daniel 11:44-45) and the good news is that the Kingdom of God will be established (Daniel 2:44, Revelation 17:14).

Forbes’ Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation Various ones have been properly convinced that there is a plan for a European superstate. Forbes’ writer Tom Worstall wrote that the Brexit vote was about the United Kingdom “not joining the monster of the European Union to come.” The Bible tells of a Beast monster that will arise in the end times in Europe. Dr. Thiel cites news reports, as well as the Old and New Testaments, to show that the monster many fear will arise in Europe, despite the vote by the British to exit the European Union. This is a video.
