The transatlantic alliance has long been undermined by Western elites' weakening commitment to their religious and cultural heritage. Harsh reality is beginning to change that.
I am not optimistic about the outcome of this crisis. Generations of our youth have been brainwashed into viewing themselves as guilty oppressors. In America, we have a fifth column called the DSA, which is working actively with our external enemies to bring down what they call the American empire from within what they call the belly of the beast; they’re in the process of taking over the Democrats.
As to the movement to create a supranational European Union, ever since the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe has been trying to restore some reasonable facsimile thereof with very limited results; to me, it’s not so much a question of whether Europe can successfully create a replacement for Rome, but whether Europeans view themselves as worthy of defending. At this point, I don’t think they do. Can’t imagine a draft in Europe having any success anymore than one can imagine a draft being successful in the United States. This has been an issue ever since the Vietnam era. Our enemies have no such limitations.
Any discussion about the hollowing out of the Western alliance that does not include how Trump has weakened relations with European and other allies through tariffs, questioning NATO, threatening to invade Greenland, and using pro-Russia rhetoric is incomplete. I agree with many of the problems identified here but I'm skeptical that the "populist right wing" will bring about truly conservative goals.
Academia is doing a great job teaching that we are evil and not worth defending.

An excellent review of where we have been and what could happen if we don’t stand up for ourselves - western civilization.
