欧洲是时候自卫了

作者:J.B. Shurk, via American Thinker,

美国人不应该为这个自杀式的大陆而战。

四年前,拜登政府正与英国和欧盟委员会合作,为喜剧演员沃洛季米尔·泽连斯基与俄罗斯联邦就人口绝大多数认同自己是俄罗斯人的地区发生的战争提供资金。我们被告知,乌克兰的俄语人民“属于”乌克兰,而“维护民主”的唯一途径就是剥夺这些人民通过民主投票加入俄罗斯联邦的权利。

“民主”显然还需要建立一个乌克兰独裁者,彻底镇压独立媒体,对社交媒体上的公众辩论进行广泛审查,剥夺宗教自由,并残酷地征兵,让男人成为炮灰,为腐败的乌克兰政权而死,该政权将美国和欧洲纳税人的钱洗入西方政治和金融精英的银行账户。

正如美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、英国以及整个旧(且日益伊斯兰化)欧洲的全球主义者将“COVID恐怖统治”变成了欺骗纳税人、充实精英和壮大极权主义国家安全国家的良机一样,同样的全球主义渣滓迅速将乌克兰冲突变成了又一个“紧急情况”,需要更多的税收、审查和公众牺牲。突然之间,任何批评西方政府官方公共政策的言论都被贴上了“俄罗斯虚假信息”的标签。如果你不同意西方所谓的“专家”的任何说法,你就会被斥为“普京的傀儡”。给信息战爱好者的一条提示:当政府当局将异议视为“宣传”时,那就是宣传!

COVID宣传项目让我们听到了一群世界经济论坛的傻瓜们装扮成国家领导人,齐声高呼:“我们必须‘重建美好未来’。”当这种伎俩过时——或者更确切地说,当西方普通民众开始表现出反抗其帝国统治者的迹象时——西方的全球主义者就把乌克兰的首席矮人变成了一个“自由战士”,对抗俄罗斯弗拉基米尔·普京的有害威权主义。那些曾经像受伤的凤头鹦鹉一样尖叫着“重建美好未来”的混蛋——拜登、特鲁多、马克龙、乌尔苏拉女王以及世界经济论坛的其他奉承者——现在却异口同声地喊着:“乌克兰!乌克兰!乌克兰!”我总是惊叹于加拿大“自由车队”抗议 COVID“疫苗”强制接种的第二天,“战争:乌克兰”这部新的热门电视连续剧就正式开播了。这几乎就像西方全球主义者牵着我们普通人的鼻子,从一个壮观的胡说八道节目走向下一个(只是为了看看当他们的手忙于摸小孩时,他们能从我们口袋里偷走多少钱)。

美国和欧洲的一些人被要求真正关心一个长期以来被认为极其腐败以至于其他腐败国家都感到羞愧的国家。那些戴着多层口罩来神奇地保护自己免受不怕口罩的病毒侵害的旅鼠们,突然挥舞着乌克兰国旗,仿佛他们能在地图上找到泽连斯基国王的钱坑-原初国家一样!没有人愿意承认,来自彼尔德伯格和三边委员会等秘密组织的那些“超人”——多年来从“绿色能源”和 mRNA“疫苗”中大发横财——只不过是回到了他们最喜欢的投资:实际的杀戮。战争带来了新的税收,新的法规,新的审查形式,新的军事投资,以及新的利用不对称信息获利的方式。总之,战争带来利润!而对于腐败的全球主义者来说,还有什么比利用被认为是管理着乌克兰这个旅行马戏团的腐败骗子来大赚一笔更好的方式呢!

英国(仍然对一百七十年前在克里米亚战争中的失利耿耿于怀)要求俄罗斯将克里米亚归还给其由军情六处管理的乌克兰朋友。泛欧(且日益伊斯兰化)帝国的乌尔苏拉女王要求俄罗斯尊重欧洲人推翻布鲁塞尔不喜欢的任何乌克兰政府的权利(参见美国-欧盟委员会组织的2014年乌克兰政变,或西方宣传者仍厚颜无耻地称之为“尊严革命”)。贝莱德和其他跨国投资公司无私地表示愿意资助战争,廉价收购乌克兰资产,并大力投资一个被摧毁国家的后续重建项目。谷歌和脸书承诺将所有不利于全球主义者利益的公开辩论审查为“俄罗斯宣传”。

哦,多么一场辉煌的战争!它拥有全球主义者喜爱的一切!它成功地将一个用阴茎弹钢琴的疯狂侏儒变成了温斯顿·丘吉尔!它证明了炸毁北溪管道的合理性,并迫使欧洲的农民使用更昂贵的“绿色能源”!它为更多的政府印钞和支出辩护,这些支出恰好使那些拥有1%的1%的资产的价值膨胀了!它允许欧洲国家的名义领导人像勇敢的将军一样在世界舞台上 strut,鼓舞前线部队——而实际上什么也没做,只是冷酷地将脆弱的乌克兰士兵投入一个绞肉机,让富人更富,穷人成为肥料。欧洲精英们一个接一个地牺牲乌克兰人来证明他们的美德和勇气。整个血腥的事件就像古老的、放屁的君主们吃着豆子、西兰花、卷心菜和奶酪一样,充满了排场和仪式感。

欧洲的绅士们从未想要一场真正的战争——一场他们可能会冒生命危险的战争。他们只想打一场能让他们的投资组合膨胀的战争,同时他们却喋喋不休地谈论着勇敢和牺牲。我们怎么知道?因为就在特朗普总统开始焚烧伊朗的疯狂毛拉们的那一刻,欧洲的全球主义者就夹着尾巴逃跑了……或者至少是逃到了最近的厕所去换内裤。

在以“气候变化”为名切断北海石油生产并以“民主”为名禁止俄罗斯能源供应之后,欧洲相当依赖中东石油来避免经济死亡。然而,欧洲目前正从西方文明向伊斯兰文明转型。欧洲的政治精英们如此害怕伊斯兰移民,以至于他们宁愿允许他们强奸他们最年轻的女儿,也不愿惹出事端。他们当然不能被看到与伊斯兰国家作战!富有的欧洲人并不介意牺牲大陆的农民去大规模屠杀,但他们自己却没有任何兴趣近距离看到弯刀。是的,是的,最好戴上怯懦的白羽毛,就好像它是欧洲原则的象征一样。美国勇敢的牛仔们肯定会拯救旧欧洲免于自我毁灭!

除非……这次可能不会。特朗普总统对我们所谓的北约“盟友”拒绝支持美国在伊朗的使命感到不满。英国首相基尔·斯塔默说:“这不是我们的战争。我们不会卷入冲突。”斯塔默希望与美国脱钩并重新加入欧盟。法国、西班牙、意大利和英国现在已经拒绝美国军方使用欧洲基地或领空的许可。欧洲的北约成员国一致认为,伊朗不是北约的关切。

对此,特朗普总统恰当地指出,乌克兰不是北约成员国,因此也不是美国关切的问题。总统和国务卿卢比奥都认为,如果不能说服北约成员国保护他们在霍尔木兹海峡的经济利益,那么美国就应该重新考虑其对欧洲安全的北约承诺。名义上的“盟友”根本不是真正的盟友。对于我们这些厌倦了欧洲的顽固贵族们靠美国军事力量吸血,同时又习惯性地抱怨的人来说,切断旧世界寄生虫的可能性是个好消息。美国人不应该为这个不关心自卫的大陆而战。

"NATO fragmentation over Iran signals deeper strategic misalignment that could destabilize European security architecture and force costly rearmament, but the article's populist framing obscures whether this is dysfunction or necessary recalibration."

This article is opinion dressed as analysis, not news. Strip away the inflammatory rhetoric and two real claims emerge: (1) Europe won't support U.S. Iran operations; (2) Trump may recalibrate NATO burden-sharing. Claim 1 is verifiable—UK, France, Spain, Italy did deny airspace. Claim 2 is plausible but speculative. What's missing: NATO's actual defense spending has risen 40%+ since 2014; Germany now spends 2.6% of GDP on defense. The article conflates European caution on Iran (a rational sovereignty choice) with free-riding. Europe's real vulnerability is energy, not military will. The geopolitical fragmentation risk is real, but the article's framing—Europe as cowardly parasites—obscures legitimate strategic divergence.

反方论证

If Trump follows through on NATO recalibration, European defense spending accelerates further, reducing U.S. burden while strengthening NATO's actual deterrent. The article assumes U.S. withdrawal weakens Europe; it might force necessary self-reliance.

"The potential dissolution of the U.S.-NATO security umbrella creates an unpriced systemic risk for European markets that far outweighs the fiscal 'savings' of reduced defense spending."

The article presents a highly polarized, populist narrative that ignores the structural economic reality of the transatlantic alliance. While the author frames the potential U.S. withdrawal from NATO as a 'liberation' from European freeloading, a decoupling would trigger a catastrophic collapse in European sovereign bond markets and a massive capital flight to the U.S. Dollar. From an investor's perspective, this isn't just about defense spending; it's about the disintegration of the G7 trade bloc. If the U.S. pivots away from European security, the resulting geopolitical risk premium would likely crush European equities, forcing an immediate, painful re-rating of regional assets regardless of their current valuation.

反方论证

The author ignores that a U.S. military retrenchment could force Europe to finally integrate its defense industry, potentially creating a more efficient, unified European military-industrial complex that serves as a long-term hedge against U.S. isolationism.

"The only investable implication is potential NATO/energy policy re-risking, but the article’s causal claims about Ukraine/elite profiteering are not evidenced and are unlikely to map cleanly to near-term cash flows."

This op-ed argues the U.S. should reduce NATO obligations because European elites supposedly prefer proxy wars that enrich elites, citing claims about Ukraine governance, censorship, sanctions, and energy dependence. As an investor-news signal, the market-relevant takeaway is second-order: if Europe truly decouples or restricts U.S. basing for Iran-linked operations, defense and energy policy risk premia could reprice (higher European security spending expectations, shifting gas/oil sourcing costs). But the article is polemical and offers no verifiable metrics; it conflates propaganda narratives with structural fiscal/energy constraints.

反方论证

The strongest pushback is that this is rhetoric, not policy: even if Trump criticizes NATO contributions, actual U.S.–Europe force posture typically changes slowly, and any “Iran” basing denials may be tactical while long-run NATO deterrence remains intact.

"US NATO retrenchment rhetoric risks becoming reality, catalyzing 1-2% GDP defense spending increases that propel stocks like RHM.DE and BA.L higher."

This polemical piece amplifies Trump-era skepticism of NATO, highlighting Europe's refusal to back potential US strikes on Iran and calling for US withdrawal from European defense guarantees. Financially, it spotlights tailwinds for European defense stocks: NATO's 2% GDP spending target is already strained, but reduced US commitments could force hikes to 3%+ (Germany's 2024 budget adds €100B to defense). Leaders like Rheinmetall (RHM.DE, +250% since 2022 invasion) and BAE Systems (BA.L, 12x forward P/E) stand to gain from accelerated procurement of tanks, missiles, F-35s. Broader Euro Stoxx 50 may lag amid energy risks, but sector re-rating likely if rhetoric turns policy.

反方论证

Europe's history of missing NATO spending pledges (only 23 of 32 met 2% in 2024) and fiscal austerity post-Ukraine energy shock could blunt any spending surge, leaving defense stocks vulnerable to disappointment.

"European defense capex upside is real but fiscally capped; defense equity valuations already front-run the NATO spending narrative."

Grok's defense-stock thesis assumes Europe actually *can* spend 3%+ GDP sustainably. But post-Ukraine, European fiscal space is constrained—Italy at 144% debt/GDP, France at 111%. Germany's €100B defense bump is real, but it's front-loaded; structural deficits limit decade-long procurement. RHM and BA may see near-term orders, but valuation already prices in NATO re-rating. The real risk: Europe commits rhetorically, delivers half, and defense stocks correct 20-30% when capex guidance disappoints in 2026-27.

"European defense stock gains will be offset by currency devaluation if U.S. security guarantees are withdrawn."

Claude is right about fiscal constraints, but both Claude and Grok miss the currency impact. If U.S. security guarantees vanish, the Euro becomes a high-risk asset. European defense contractors may get orders, but if the underlying currency collapses, their real-term margins and dividend yields will be obliterated for foreign investors.

"The strongest unflagged issue is that the most extreme FX/sovereign outcomes are asserted without support, while defense upside depends on constrained, lagged procurement rather than rhetoric."

I’m worried about Gemini’s currency/capital-flight framing as stated: a U.S. force retrenchment could widen risk premia, but “Euro collapses” and “bond-market catastrophe” are nonlinear predictions with no evidence in the article. Even if security risk rises, rates moves could be offset by ECB policy and hedging. The more grounded gap is Grok’s assumption of smooth 3%+ spending; procurement lags and budgets face debt/energy constraints, likely capping any defense re-rating.

"European defense stocks' export-heavy, hedged revenues shield them from Euro devaluation even amid NATO risks."

Gemini, your Euro-collapse scenario ignores defense sector specifics: Rheinmetall (RHM.DE) gets 45% revenue from exports, often USD-settled with FX hedges; BAE Systems (BA.L) similarly buffers via dollar contracts. Fiscal squeezes (Claude/ChatGPT) cap totals, but sticky multi-year backlogs protect 2025-26 EPS. Unflagged: if Trump redirects F-35 sales to Asia, Europe pays premium for alternatives, boosting local OEMs further.
