Donald Trump’s nuclear tweet and follow-up comments are in the news:

Trump Doubles Down On Nukes: “Let It Be An Arms Race, We’ll Outlast Them All”

December 23 2016

Trump appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe to discuss the following tweet he sent out yesterday calling for an expanded nuclear arsenal.

When asked by co-host Mika Brzezinski to clarify the tweet, Trump gave a response that she, nor anyone else for that matter, was expecting.

“Let it be an arms race, we will outmatch them at every pass … and outlast them all.”

Trump’s calls to strengthen the U.S. nuclear arsenal comes just as Vladimir Putin has urged for Russia to do the same. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-23/trump-doubles-down-nukes-let-it-be-arms-race

A spokesman says the president-elect is putting other countries on notice with his tweet calling for greatly expanded U.S. nuclear capability.

The spokesman says Donald Trump was responding to Russia, China and other countries talking about expanding their own nuclear capabilities.

Sean Spicer said Friday, “The president isn’t saying we’re going to do this. He said, ‘unless they come to their senses.’ It’s a warning to them that this president isn’t going to sit idly by.”

Also Friday, MSNBC reported that Trump said: “Let it be an arms race, because we will outmatch them at every pass and outlast them all.” http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_TRUMP_THE_LATEST_ASOL-?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2016-12-23-08-16-38

Yesterday, after Russia’s President Vladimir Putin made comments about strengthening Russia’s nuclear power, Donald Trump tweeted that the U.S. needed to expand and strengthen its nuclear capability.

Then today, he added another militaristic tatement.

Donald Trump is putting the world on notice that the U.S.A. is going to be different than it has been.

It is bold, yet risky, strategy.

It is bold as it is a departure from forty years of US public policy claiming a different direction. It is bold because it is intended to tell others that they should not consider messing with the USA or else.

It is risky for several reasons, but the main one to mention here is that these are just two comments from Donald Trump that will get those in Europe to believe that he is a problem that Europe needs to deal with.

And Europe will deal with this by attempting to develop their own military capabilities separate from the USA.

Europe is concerned about Donald Trump. BBC had a headline a while back Europe hates Trump. Does it matter? (http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35702584). Yes, it matters.

Earlier this week, the NATO website published a type of debate regarding Europe’s military. Notice the following that came out prior to Donald Trump’s recent nuclear comments:

Sven Biscop: Only by drastically increasing cooperation, by moving to military integration even, can Europeans hope to acquire the capacity “to act autonomously when and where necessary and with partners wherever possible,” as the European Council put it on 15 December.

Including the objective of “strategic autonomy” in the Global Strategy was prescient. The focus of US strategy had already shifted to Asia and the Pacific, and US President-elect Donald Trump seems set to reinforce this trend. Distrust is also growing …

Julian Lindley-French:

We have a problem. Sven and I are in violent agreement.

This is a big strategic moment. There should be every opportunity for the rump EU to move towards what many member states have pretended they always wanted – a form of European Defence Union and in time a European Army. …

If ever there was a time for EU radicalism it is now – a real chance to restructure the Alliance into a mutually reinforcing Anglosphere and Eurosphere. …

Next spring President Trump will come to Brussels demanding a big NATO burden-sharing summit. …

We need BOTH EU and NATO to be credible security and defence actors if we are to protect our people against the range of threats and threatening actors who now confront us. 12/21/2016 http://www.nato.int/docu/review/2016/Also-in-2016/debate-sven-biscop-julian-lindley-french-european-defence-nato-security/EN/

Notice that Europe wants its OWN ARMY, and a CREDIBLE one. Oh yes, for the time being it also wants NATO. But the time will come when it will no longer feel it needs NATO.

Let me make it perfectly clear: Donald Trump’s statement that, “we will outmatch them at every pass and outlast them all” is WRONG!

The Bible shows that in the end times the power with the strongest military–the USA–will be defeated by a European power:

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 (Daniel 11:39, NKJV).

The “he” above is the European King of the North power, whereas the USA is the power that has the “strongest fortresses”–this is a prophecy of the defeat of the USA by Europe! For more details, see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses and/or watch Do these 7 prophesies point to the end of the USA?

When Donald Trump was running for office, I wrote:

Should he actually become President of the United States, his flamboyance and brashness are bound to offend the Europeans, even more than he already has, and ultimately that will not turn out well for the USA (cf. Lamentations 1:1-2; Daniel 11:39).

Donald Trump is not yet in office, however he is already motivating the Europeans to take their own militaristic steps.

Back in December 2015, former German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg called Donald Trump “that blonde lunatic named Donald” (Wish List or Reality? Digital Trends in 2016 | Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg | hub conference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgdZUA96UBU. Posted December 11, 2015; watch also Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg and Europe’s Future).

Donald Trump’s nuclear comments are going to get others in Europe to agree with Herr Guttenberg that Donald Trump is a lunatic.

The Bible shows that Europe will end up with a ‘great army’ (Daniel 11:25). The Bible also shows that Europe will one day conquer the USA (Daniel 11:39) and others (Daniel 11:40-43).

Events in 2016, including the Brexit and those associated with Donald Trump, are motivating Europe to take steps.

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.
