The European Union is scrambling to build its own 100,000-strong army as globalist bureaucrats panic over the end of America's role as Europe's military protector under President Trump's second term.

An EU commissioner has called for the creation of a "European Security Council" and massive military expansion, openly admitting that the "Pax Americana" is over and Europe must achieve "European Independence" – code words for maintaining globalist control without relying on American taxpayers to foot the bill.

This desperate plea comes just weeks after President Trump's inauguration, as European elites realize their decades-long gravy train of American military protection is grinding to a halt. For too long, NATO allies have freeloaded off American defense spending while lecturing us about everything from climate change to immigration.

Trump's America First Policy Forces Europe's Hand

The timing isn't coincidental. Trump has consistently demanded that NATO allies pay their fair share – a radical concept to European bureaucrats who've grown comfortable letting American soldiers and taxpayers carry the burden while they build their socialist utopias.

Now these same globalists who've spent years undermining American sovereignty and pushing woke policies want to create their own military force. But here's the reality: Europe has grown soft and dependent after decades of American protection. Can a continent that can't even secure its own borders from illegal immigration really field an effective military?

"The European Union's panic over building their own defense capabilities proves Trump's America First strategy is working exactly as intended."

This EU army proposal also raises serious questions about the future of NATO and whether European globalists plan to challenge American influence worldwide. Are we witnessing the beginning of Europe positioning itself as a rival rather than an ally?

Americans Should Celebrate This Development

Patriots should actually welcome this news. For too long, hardworking Americans have subsidized Europe's defense while our own border remains unsecured and our infrastructure crumbles. If Europe wants to defend itself, more power to them – just don't expect American blood and treasure to bail them out anymore.

President Trump's vision of other nations taking responsibility for their own security is becoming reality. The question is: will Europe's new military ambitions align with American interests, or are we watching the birth of our next global competitor?

Served 3 tours in Europe during the Cold War - we had over 300,000 troops stationed there at one point. About time they step up and defend themselves like adults.

Thank you for your service! My dad was stationed in Germany too and always said the same thing about European dependence.

Good! Bring our troops home and let Europe deal with Putin themselves for once.

Finally! Europe needs to pay their fair share instead of relying on American taxpayers to fund their defense while they spend billions on socialist programs.

Exactly right. We've been subsidizing their luxury welfare states for decades while they lecture us about everything.

100,000 troops? That's cute. Let's see if they can actually recruit and fund that without coming to us with their hands out again.

Question: Will this EU army answer to Brussels bureaucrats or individual nations? Sounds like another step toward their globalist superstate agenda.

Trump was right all along about NATO freeloaders. Now they're panicking because they actually have to take responsibility for their own security.
