Ukraine’s president calls for an “army of Europe,” whereas Germany’s chancellor blasts statements from US Vice President Vance
The Munich Security Conference is going on. Many have been shaken by American actions, including statements from US Vice President JD Vance:
15 February 2025
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for the creation of an “army of Europe” to guard against Russia as he suggested the US may no longer come to the continent’s aid.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, he also said that Ukraine would “never accept deals made behind our backs without our involvement” after US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to start peace talks.
In a speech on Friday, in which he attacked European democracies, US Vice President JD Vance warned that Europe needed to “step up in a big way” on defence.
Zelensky said: “I really believe the time has come – the armed forces of Europe must be created.”
He said: “Yesterday here in Munich, the US vice president made it clear [that] decades of the old relationship between Europe and America are ending.
“From now on things will be different and Europe needs to adjust to that.”
On Saturday, Zelensky said: “Let’s be honest. Now we can’t rule out the possibility that America might say no to Europe on an issue that threatens it.
“Many, many leaders have talked about Europe that needs its own military.
“An army, an army of Europe.”
The concept of a European army is something that has been proposed by other leaders, including France’s President Emmanuel Macron who has long backed the bloc’s own military to reduce its reliance on the US.
Zelensky said: “A few days ago, President Trump told me about his conversation with Putin. Not once did he mention that America needs Europe at the table – that says a lot.
“The old days are over when America supported Europe just because it always had.” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgl27x74wpo
It is not just Ukraine’s president that is concerned. Notice also the following related to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz:
Germany rebuffs ‘dictated peace’ for Ukraine at Munich security summit
Chancellor Olaf Scholz also rejected the call from US Vice President JD Vance to open Germany’s door to far-right parties.
15 February 2025
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz launched a strong defence of Ukraine saying a peace deal to end the three-year Russian invasion cannot be imposed on Kyiv.
“There will only be peace if Ukraine’s sovereignty is secured,” he said on the second day of the Munich Security Conference on Saturday. …
“A dictated peace will therefore never find our support,” added Scholz, in a rebuke to United States President Donald Trump who recently held discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Ukraine, without the participation of the Ukrainians. …
Meanwhile, Scholz rejected foreign interference in German elections after US Vice President JD Vance attacked how governments in Europe seek to counter bids for political influence by far-right groups such as Germany’s Alternative for Germany AfD.
Germany “will not accept outsiders intervening in our democracy, in our elections. That is not appropriate – especially not among friends and allies,” he said after Vance’s criticism.
“We are absolutely clear that the extreme right should stay outside the political decision-making process and there would be no cooperation with them,” Scholz later told reporters. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/15/germanys-scholz-offers-firm-backing-for-ukraine-on-day-2-of-munich-summit
15 February 2025
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said his country won’t accept people who “intervene in our democracy”, a day after US Vice President JD Vance criticised European leaders.
In a speech on Saturday morning, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz defended his stance against the far right and said Germany will not accept people who “intervene in our democracy”, a day after US Vice President JD Vance met with the AfD leader and criticised European leaders.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Friday, Vance criticised European governments’ approach to democracy and said he fears free speech across the continent is “in retreat”. …
Scholz further responded to Vance’s comments by saying “Germany is a very strong democracy, and as a strong democracy, we are absolutely clear that the extreme right should be out of political control and out of political decision making processes, and that there will be no cooperation with them.”
“We really reject any idea of cooperation between parties, other parties and this extreme right parties.” https://www.euronews.com/2025/02/15/scholz-germany-wont-accept-people-who-intervene-in-our-democracy

Vance brings a wrecking ball to diplomatic gathering in Munich
14 February 2025
The U.S. vice president roasted the continent’s way of governing itself.
JD Vance’s fiery speech at the Munich Security Conference — part of his multi-day debut on the world stage as U.S. vice president — dominated the marathon high-level gabfest among hundreds of top foreign dignitaries and national security elites.
“No one is talking about anything else,” said a senior Eastern European official. …
“This is a new United States and it’s clear the old one Europe’s been used to for decades is gone,” said one former senior U.S. diplomat. “It could be this is the one wake-up call that actually wakes Europe up.”
POLITICO spoke to 14 conference attendees at the forum, several of whom were granted anonymity to discuss their reactions to Vance’s speech candidly. Many reacted with a mixture of shock and anger.
From inside an overflow room — the main conference hall was jam-packed — attendees laughed sardonically when Vance mentioned “shared values.” …
That went for the professional diplomats, too. “This is all so insane and worrying,” said a German official. …
Top European officials who may have come into the weekend ready to be careful and diplomatic with the Americans took the gloves off after Vance’s speech. “If I understood him correctly, he is comparing parts of Europe with authoritarian regimes. This is not acceptable,” German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said. https://www.politico.eu/article/vance-brings-a-wrecking-ball-to-diplomatic-gathering-in-munich/
It should be clear to all that many in Europe are offended by the Trump-Vance Administration.
Of course, that is not unexpected. Here is part of number 22 of my 2024 list of 25 items to prophetically watch in 2025:
22. Reelection of Donald Trump and His Adminstration
In the Bible News Prophecy magazine, October-December 2024 edition, number 22 was listed as “The Incoming US Presidential Administration”
So, it was renamed.
The reelection of Donald Trump has sent shockwaves throughout the world as well as through the legacy media of the United States.
It has brought both hope to some and worry to others.
Donald Trump will be apocalyptic. At least 20 warnings/predictions I made before his last Administration assumed office came to pass (for details see Donald Trump in Prophecy).
Look for Donald Trump and His Administration to offend the Europeans, cause international trade concerns, push many nations further away from the United States, change matters in Ukraine, affect matters in the Middle East, impact US energy production, impact immigration, impact the move away from the US dollar, and further divide many in the United States.
Notice the last statement above.
ALL of those things have happened in the last month.
That said, one of the unintended consequences of the Trump-Vance Administration is that they are accelerating change in Europe.

Von der Leyen demands trigger of emergency clause to massively boost defense spending
14 February 2025
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Friday, von der Leyen said she wanted to trigger an emergency clause that would allow governments greater leeway so that military expenditure would not be counted in their tightly controlled budget deficit limits.
“I will propose to activate the escape clause for defense investments,” she said. “This will allow member states to substantially increase their defense expenditure.” … von der Leyen said Europe was “now in another period of crisis which warrants a similar approach” to that of the Covid pandemic. …
“Now is the time to move mountains in the European Union,” said the ex-German defense minister.
The Commission will allow look to funnel more private investment to defense and launch joint projects of common interest — much as the bloc already does on clean energy initiatives — covering things like advanced air defense.
“Let there be no room for any doubt, I believe that when it comes to European security Europe has to do more and must bring more to the table,” von der Leyen said. “We need a surge in European defense spending.” https://www.politico.eu/article/von-der-leyen-proposes-triggering-clause-to-massively-boost-defense-spending/
Europe is starting to get more concerned about its military readiness.
The Bible shows that Europe will reorganize, become totalitarian, and become militaristic:
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)
1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. (Revelation 13:1-10)

This Beast is also called the King of the North in the Book of Daniel. This leader will eliminate the Anglo-American world order as well as a coming Middle Eastern North African power the Bible refers to as the King of the South..
Consider the following prophecies about the one who will be in charge:
36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. 37 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. 38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 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.
40 “At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through. 41 He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels. (Daniel 11:36-43)
Notice verse 39 above–understand that the Bible is saying that the European power will destroy the power with the “strongest fortresses,” the strongest military–that is a reference to the conquering of the United States as it currently is the place with the strongest military in the world.
As I have long written, it is likely that this Beast may attack under the guise of a NATO exercise and/or otherwise feign military support for the USA and the UK.
The Donald Trump – JD Vance Administration are offending the Europeans and accelerating Europe’s path towards militarization.
The unintended result of that will be Europe one day conquering the USA.
