Europe in shock as Trump-Vance push ‘friends’ towards becoming enemies
The Munich Security Conference has ended and many in Europe are in shock:
‘It’s Trump’s world’: European leaders divided on how to navigate ‘cacophony’
17 February 2025
Indeed, the consensus that emerged from Munich and its preceding days was Trump 2.0 is a far more disruptive and chaotic force than the worst fears of British, European and Middle Eastern diplomats. Abrupt and inchoate decisions in foreign policy follow one executive order after another. …
Nathalie Tocci, the head of the Italian thinktank IAI, questioned whether something more profound was under way between Europe and the US. “One interpretation about what has happened in the last few days is that maybe this US administration does not quite like us very much, and maybe if we act by spending more on defence, and all the rest of it, we can somehow rekindle US interest and perhaps even US affection for Europe, including Ukraine. That is the best case scenario,” she said.
“But should we not consider there is a scenario out there, in which there is absolutely nothing we can do to rekindle that love, affection and interest, and therefore we are alone, facing a US administration that deliberately wants to weaken and divide us?”
Friedrich Merz, Germany’s likely next chancellor after elections this month, did not go as far as Tocci, but accepted the Vance speech had broadened the points of issue between Europe and the US. “Disagreements between the US and Europe have taken on a completely new quality,” he said in his weekly email to supporters. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/17/its-trumps-world-european-leaders-divided-on-how-to-navigate-cacophony
As US recedes, NATO scrambles to find a new leader
MUNICH — European officials say they get Donald Trump’s point: They need to take care of their own defense — with less help from the Americans.
But on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference this weekend, few European allies were raising their hands.
It was the central question swirling through the crowded halls at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof: Who will be the continent’s security provider if the U.S. military scales down its presence — or simply packs up and leaves.
“Who is that person?” said Giedrimas Jeglinskas, chair of the National Security and Defense Committee in Lithuania’s parliament and a former NATO official. “You need to have some sort of hard power behind you to be really sitting at the table now.”
Germany has the continent’s largest economy, but the jury is out on Berlin’s latest defense plans until after this month’s election. …
It wasn’t hard for most Europeans to read between the lines. “It’s clear where the United States is. It’s not in Europe,” said a former NATO official, who like others was granted anonymity to speak candidly about dynamics within the alliance. “Europe is going to realize, ‘…, we’re on our own.’” 02/16/25 https://www.politico.eu/article/us-recedes-nato-scrambles-find-new-leader-munich-security-conference/
MUNICH, Feb 16 (Reuters) – They should not have been surprised. Yet European officials have been left shocked and flat-footed by the Trump administration’s moves on Ukraine, Russia and European defence in recent days.At a major security conference in Munich at the weekend, there was a sense of dismay and disbelief – and a whiff of panic – among European delegates even as some tried to put a brave face on a dizzying few days of declarations and diplomacy. …Chief among their fears: that they can no longer be sure of U.S. military protection … Europeans are reeling from a blizzard of Trump administration moves in recent days, https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/shocked-europeans-play-catch-up-after-trump-moves-ukraine-2025-02-16/
European leaders are in shock and disbelief about the Trump-Vance Administration.
Now, as far as the European Union goes, what WILL HAPPEN IS THAT IT WILL REORGANIZE (Revelation 17:12-13) AND EUROPE WILL TURN AGAINST THE USA (Daniel 11:39)!
Related to the coming European Beast power turning against its former American friends, here is something from my latest book available at Amazon Kindle: Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? as well as Amazon print :
Donald Trump’s foreign policy statements have unsettled many—in the USA as well as foreign nations. …
The Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2)—some statements by Donald Trump are pushing “friends” (NATO allies) into being enemies. …
The Bible is clear that there will be problems in Europe (Daniel 11:41-43), yet it also shows that Europe will undergo several reorganizations (Revelation chapters 16-18), and the two reorganizations in Revelation 17:12-13 specifically will not turn out well for the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39) or the Arab world (cf. Daniel 11:40-43).
Some “right-leaning” European political leaders seem to be re-energized by Donald Trump who because of his breaking political norms and acting like a ‘strong man.’[1] One of the unintended consequence of his actions is, that after crises (cf. Revelation 6:7-8), more Europeans will decide that they need their own even stronger leader—which will happen per Revelation 13:10 and 17:13. …
The USA will be attacked by “friends” consistent with the following:
1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!The princess among the provinces Has become a slave!
2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. cf. Lamentations 1:1-2).Notice the one who was “great among the nations” will be conquered by friends, who will become enemies.
The USA was prophesied to be “great” in Genesis 48:19 and is considered by international sources to be great among the nations of the world today.[2]

Others have also noted that Donald Trump is treating nations who are considered to be “friends” as enemies (e.g. see RT: Zelensky says US doesn’t care about EU; BBC: Frenemies?).
Yes, the Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2).
Right now, the Europeans are trying to figure out what to do.
But, ultimately, the Bible shows that Europe will reorganize and become totalitarian:
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)
This Beast leader will eliminate the Anglo-American world order with a new, and even worse, world order.
Consider the following prophecies about the one who will be in charge:
21 And in his place shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue. (Daniel 11:21)
39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. … the king of the North (Daniel 11:39, 40)
23 “And in the latter time of their kingdom,
When the transgressors have reached their fullness,
A king shall arise,
Having fierce features,
Who understands sinister schemes.
24 His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power;
He shall destroy fearfully,
And shall prosper and thrive;
He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.25 “Through his cunning
He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule;
And he shall exalt himself in his heart.
He shall destroy many in their prosperity. (Daniel 8:23-25)
The above leader is the final European King of the North Beast power. He is an autocrat. He will eliminate the USA, Canada, and the UK.
Europe will conclude that it needs someone stronger than Donald Trump.
The rise again of Donald Trump and many of his statements and actions are accelerating Europe’s path towards militarization, as well as turning against the USA.
The unintended result of that will be Europe one day conquering the USA.
