The Convergence of Europe and America

Europe's Aging Population

Europe's fertility rate has plummeted to a mere 1.4, mirroring the trend in the United States. As a result, both regions face shrinking and aging populations.

Border Challenges

Both Europe and the US struggle to control their borders, despite growing public outcry. This influx of foreign-born residents has led to heightened tensions and divisions within society.

Woke Politics and Pushback

The population in both regions has grown weary of woke political correctness and demands for more freedom of expression. They yearn for less government interference, legal-only immigration, secure borders, and a reduction in regulations.

Economic Woes

Europe's economy has slowed to a crawl, largely due to a shortage of affordable fossil fuels. In contrast, the US faces high inflation and a rising national debt. Both regions desperately need a revival to mitigate further decline.

Common Enemies and Friends

Despite their differences, Europe and the US share common concerns. Both fear the expansion of Chinese military power, the threat of nuclear weapons in Iran, and the potential resurgence of Russia under Putin.

Trump's Renewed Relevance

Although Europeans have been critical of Trump in the past, they may privately welcome his return as president. They recognize that America's security and prosperity can be enhanced under conservative leadership.

"Europe loves Democrats as kindred quasi-socialists. But privately, many Europeans assume their own security and prosperity do better when America is governed by conservatives." - Anonymous European Diplomat

Biden's Failed Leadership

The Biden administration has been a disappointment to Europe. Its cancellations of energy pipelines, cuts to military funding, and withdrawal from Afghanistan have weakened the alliance.

Trump's Energy Promise

In contrast, Trump has pledged to increase natural gas production and exports to aid Europe in decoupling from Russia. This energy independence would strengthen the region's economy and security.

Europe's New Hope

With Europe facing a crisis, its leaders may be forced to reassess their relationship with the US. Trump's return to the presidency could herald a new era of cooperation and mutual support, based on shared values and common goals.
