Is Europe Going To Be Written Off As Collateral Damage In Trump's Plan For World Domination?

The almost complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz is really starting to bite in the wider world as oil stocks dwindle, prices rise and disruption in supply chains threatens shortages of food and other vital commodities.

Negotiations between the US and Iran are stalled. We hear and read stories about people from the US and Iran flying here, there and everywhere to take part in 'talks, but the negotiations that are supose to lead to an agreed settlement are' not really happening at all.

Over the weekend online news site Axios reported that Iran presented the US with a proposal to reopen the Strait, not to end the war. That proposal includes extending Trump's ceasefire and an assertion that any conversations about Iran’s nuclear program are off the agenda until the Strait is reopened and the US blockade is lifted. The US has not indicated whether it will accept or reject the proposal at the time of writing.

Assuming the US does agree to extend its indefinite that is of negligable significance. Remember, keeping the Strait open was a condition of the current ceasefire as agreed to on April 8, and we can all see how well that held up. Just take a look at fuel prices at the pump.

While conversations between the US and Iran stall, Iran is making friends elsewhere. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi met with Putin yesterday, as Bloomberg reported that Araghchi told Putin he is “committed to strengthening the country’s partnership with Russia” and that “the Iranian people are able to ‘resist US aggression and will be able to overcome it.’”

Iran and Russia may be cosying up, but the US and Germany are not. During a visit to a school in western Germany, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that the Trump Administration was being “humiliated” by Iran: “The Iranians are clearly stronger than expected and the Americans clearly have no truly convincing strategy in the negotiations either. A whole nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership.”

Trump has not yet commented on Merz’ claims.

The longer the Strait remains closed, the longer the European economy, and energy complex, is squeezed. Germany, like The UK, Fance, Spain and Italy has rejected Trump’s calls to support his bid to reopen The Strait under NATO, control. This is despite German leaders softly echoing support of US military efforts.

Europe has drafted a plan to re-open the Strait after the war has ended, that is not enough to appease Trump, who has made his demands for NATO participation in the Iran war clear. But the question remains just how much collateral damage Europe is willing to be subject to in the pursuit of keeping its hands clean.

Europe’s and in particular Germany's reliance on energy from the Middle East and direct flows through the Strait of Hormuz, since the supply from Russia died up suggest that they are in for more pain than the US under a prolonged closure.

Germany was hit harder by the war in Ukraine than any other west European nation as German industry was hugely dependent of oil and gas pumped directly from Russia via the Nordstream pipeline until that was sabotaged, allegedly by Ukrainian military personnel supported by US and NATO technology and expertise.

At the same time, Europeans don’t have a fanatical obduracy to soak up the pain like the Iran (or rather, the IRGC at the expense of the Iranian people). If negotiations fail to result in a somewhat peaceful re-opening of the Strait and conclusion of the US naval blockade, Europe may have no choice but to get involved.

It’s probable that the Trump Administration is aware of this. Trump has lambasted European leaders for refusing to support the US and in some cases, outright refusing to cooperate. If the US keeps the Strait closed and inflicts enough second-hand damage on Europe, Trump may be able to achieve the NATO military “cooperation” he has been asking for.

As Trump's Ceasefire Breaks Down In The Strait of Hormuz We Ask What Is This War Really About?

by Egbert Nohbakkon

There's been a lot of claim and counterclaim since Trump's Truth Social Post earlier this week: first he demanded that eight young women whom he said were on death row in Iran for protesting against the theocratic regime must be released. Then on Thursday Trump proclaimed that Iran complied.

But Iran rejects the whole narrative from the start. "Trump was misled once again by fake news," the Islamic Republic judiciary's official Mizan Online website said. "The women who were claimed to be on the verge of execution, some of them have been released, while others face charges that, if convictions are upheld, would at most result in imprisonment."

HOwever instead of peace talks today, the US-Iran ceasefire is on the brink of collapse and the situation in Strait of Hormuz is heating up.

Despite Trump's two-week deadline for reaching a deal ending today, Vice President JD Vance never boarded a plane to Pakistan for further negotiations as had been advertised and neither did anyone from Iran. Instead, Donald Trump extended the ceasefire indefinitely and the IRGC has today attacked several more international ships in the Strait.

Is the war about to restart? Who knows what might happen next with unpredictable characters like Trump and Netanyahu squaring up to the equally unpredictable Ayatollahs and religious fanatics in Tehran..

So far Israel is the only winner in this war, they got what they wanted - the destruction of Arab countries in the gulf and Lebanon. As usual the Arabs & Iran were placed to fight each other as is common practice to have neighboring countries fight each other - most recently Ukraine & Russia, in the past France and Germany, China and Japan, Russia and Turkey, etc.. Trump has also diverted oil tankers from the Gulf to Houston, Lousiana, Alaska, Venezuela . .. thus capitalising on the disruption of Arab country oil resources and suply lines.

The same was done in the early days of the war in Ukraine. The Biden adminitration destroyed with sanctions and sabotage the vital flow of cheap oil and gas from Russia to the European Union. The main purpose of that escapade was to steal away the oil market from Russia and place the market under 100% US control. The US stole the entire oil and LNG market away from Russia under pretext of the war to liberate Ukraine. Trump at least understands the world still runs on hydrocarbons, and is trying to re-establish US hegmony by controlling that vital resource.

A factor in the longevity of the conflict in Ukraine is that neither the Ukies nor the Russians really want peace. They are puruing ancient hatreds and appear to want to destroy each other. The same can be said of Israel (Zionism) and the Iranian Islamist regine.

This war is much the same. Under the pretext of liberating the oppressed people of Iran, the very predictable Iranian response of weaponising the Strait of Hormuz, has blocked all oil trade of Arab countries and enabled The USA to use the war as a pretext to steal the oil markets in the Middle East and shift them to the US , in effect stealing the oil markets again. It looks as if the purpose of the closing of the Strait of Hormuz is not Iran, it is to seize the oil market from the Arab countries and move this oil market to the US. A big gamble.

The longer the Arabs are landlocked, the easier to seize this market permanently. That is why opening the hormuz is not a priority for trump. the longer this war last and the more the Arabs fight with the Iranians the more damage to the oil infrastructure in the Gulf which will take 5 to 10 years to recover. In the meanwhile, trump will have seized the oil market from the Arabs.

The EU will have severe problems. They lack energy and airline traffic have already become severely curtailed because NATO jets have preference for jet fuel. Tourism will be severely constrained 2026, fuel costs for business, domestic and transport use are rocketing and a rapid rise in the cost of living is driving many European citizens into poverty.

There really is only one way to end this war. That is to force open the Straits and erect a sea route seige on Iran with no imports or exports. Iran has the capability of occasionally getting lucky with attacking a ship. But with complete air security, surveillance drones and rapid response military the great majority of such attacks would fail, especially with a convoy system in place. All that is then needed is for the USA and friendly governments of the Gulf to provide war insurance to shipping. The cost will be small compared to the cost of conventional attacks.

It is our fear of casualties, no matter how few that gives Iran its ace card. We have to rediscover our martial spirits and accept that this is a war and people on both sides get hurt. The question is: do the people with the power to end the war want to end it.

Trump's Plan To Blockade Iran's Blockade Of The Strait Of Hormuz Is Not Impossible, Just Crazy

If the end goal is to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels, then I can't understand what Potus is doing — The US navy can wrestle control of the Strait of Hormuz from Iran Credit: Alex Brandon/AP

President Trump’s latest pronunciations on the conflict with Iran makes it clear that he is going to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. With peace negotiations having hit the brick wall of Islamist intransigence almost as soon as they had got under way, this is the latest power move to wrestle control of the Strait back off Iran, where it currently resides.

“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. At some point, we will reach an ‘ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT’ basis” Trump ranted on Truth Social.

A blockade on a blockade, is certainly something we don't come acros often. Though it sounds illlogical in practical terms such a move would not be difficult. The US will have excellent situational awareness of all ships coming and going, their details, and most likely whether or not they have either been given a free pass by Iran or have paid at the toll booth, so the US Navy could prevent vessels approaching the strait from the Indian Ocean and also stop ships leaving The Persian Gulf via the strait..

However any attempt to blockade Iran would necessitate the use of force to prevent Indian, Chinese and Russian ships from entering Iranian harbors.

At the same time, a blockade of Iran would represent a total U-turn from America’s tactics in recent weeks, and necessitate lifting sanctions on Russian and even Iranian oil, in order to avoid a catastrophic cutoff of global energy supplies and an ensuing economic depression.

In the unlikely event that the US proceeds with a blockade, the entire rest of the world would focus its ire on the US. NATO would collapse. Japan and Korea would see that the US is a nihilistic monster, indifferent to their economic destruction and looming starvation and the dollar exchange rate would crash.

The US government has well and truly backed itself into a corner. Given its established habit of doubling down on what didn’t work, all one can foresee is more feckless bombing of Iran — which will not open the Strait.

Does Trump's Crazy Rhetoric Suggest He Plans To Nuke Iran?

Nuclear explosion (Picture - adobe stock image )

American President Donald Trump inexplicably gambled the future of the world and his own political legacy on achieving regime change in Iran. From last summer's first shouts in the campaign to replace the theocratic regime this blog warned that Iran was not some third world failed state which could easily be rolled over.

Now Trump's Iran gamble, which was always a risky bet, is poised on a knife edge, the Iranian's have so far given as good as they get in terms of air and drone strikes, have invoked asymmetric warfare by weaponising the Strait of Hormuz through which, when shipping can move freely through it, approximately a quarter of the worlds oil, natural gas and petroleum products are distributed..

At first, in the opening days of the current round of hostilities most conservative opinion in the USA was behind Trump but currently, five weeks into the war, it is getting harder to find commentators who are backing him to the hilt. Even some of his more usually supportive backers are getting cold feet. Andrew Day in American Conservative is worried that Trump might use nukes in Iran:

A new rhetorical theme emerged last week, when Trump threatened to bomb Iran “back to the Stone Ages”. The phrase is associated with Curtis LeMay, who served as Air Force chief of staff during the Vietnam war. LeMay is known for something else too: his promotion of nuclear weapons and complaint that Americans had a “phobia” of using them.

Trump doesn’t seem to share that deranged perspective, but nuclear anxieties are growing thanks to his belligerence. Two weeks ago, a United Nations representative resigned from his post and leaked the disturbing information that “the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran”. Days earlier, officials from the World Health Organisation told Politico they were worried about a possible nuclear attack.
If Trump decides to go further and actually push the big red button, at least one of his main advisors likely wouldn’t object. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has echoed Trump’s threat to send Iran back to the Stone Age, and he says US armed forces should aim for “maximum lethality, not tepid legality”.

As Trump's threats and claims have become crazier day by day it looks as if nuclear is on the agenda. Many American commentators think there is a strong likelihood the US will use a nuclear weapon. Who is going to object? America's NATO allies in the UK and Europe have surrendered the right to do that because of the way they hve distanced themselves from the whole escapade. Russia and China are Iran's allies but it is unlikely they would risk all out war with The USA over Iran. Both would probably instigate moves to have America censured by theUnited Nations and then take a PR advantage of the situation since their leadership is not crazy like ours is (in the US).

There is no certainty that the Iranians, like the Japanese will surrender should the US use a weapon of mass destruction, more likely they would retreat and allow a US occupation and then wage guerilla warfare for years, knowing that the American public do not like US soldiers returning home in body bags.

Will there be someone in the US government able to stop such a thing? We shall see. This is an existential struggle for Iran but also for the American global hegemony. If the US allows Iran to win that would be the beginning of the end of the Petrodollar Empire as many are predicting.

If Trump Carries Out His Threat To Quit NATO Will That Be The End Of The Alliance?

Though the US President's threats to blow up Iran's oil and gas gacilities and destroy the country's entire infrastructure can be take with a pich of salt because Iran's allies, Russia and China, are unlikely to sit back and let that happen, his warning that the US could pull out of NATO should shock even the most complacent and anti-American elements on tEurope's political left.

Mr Trump has reportedly raised the issue in private discussions with White House aides in recent days, and on Wednesday confirmed that he was ‘absolutely’ reviewing membership.

There are a number of valid reasons why it would serve US interests to do this. The global reach of US military power and the fact that the USA brings weapons and tactics to NATO that no other country has, or is ever likely to have being the main one. With American backing, NATO has credibility in its deterrent fuction (we must remember that the purpose of forming NATO in 1945 was to defend Europe angaist any future rebirth of Nazi style totalitarian ideology,) with its whole defensive strategy being built on defensive capabilities and will to usethose capabilities.

Without the USA the only remaining defensive capability is in the nuclear sphere because of the independent British and French arsenals. In terms of conventional warfare NATO would be a toothless guard dog because leadership in member states has been content to let the USA be the world's peacekeeper, while British and French governments chose to neglect national security in favour of politically correct, virtue signalling policies and vanity projects. An aggressor could well, therefore, be tempted to take actions that fell short of the use, or riposte, of weapons of mass destruction. A Russian incursion into a non-Nato state, for example, Bosnia and Herzegovina or Moldova; or even a limited incursion in the Baltic, either on land or at sea. And financially of course, without the money Washington throws in NATO would be bankrupt.

President Trump's threat to NATO came as the latest in a sereies of contemptuous responses to the failure of traditional allies to give their support to the US/Israeli war on Iran. Foremost in his targets for criticism was UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with whom his disappointment, first over his refusal allow US bombers to use the joint base on Diego Garcia and the RAF bases in Cyprus and at Fairford in Gloucestershire for strikes on Iran, and over Starmer’s reluctance to deploy the Royal Navy to defend the shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz, and then his refusal to take part in re-opening the Strait of Hormuz. France’s preference for diplomacy over action has irked him too.

Whether or not this outburst was more than a mark of his frustration with unappreciative allies or a wake-up call to NATO member states rather than a than genuine threat, it still suggests an alarming failure on his part to understand what NATO is and is not;

Bringing home 100,000 troops already on the US taxpayer rolls is a political winner. Losing command positions in an outdated, unattended, organization doesn't seem like a loss, just a matter of course. And upon pulling out of NATO, the US understands old alliances will be lost, but if those allies are only interested in a one sided alliance in which the USA defends freedom against tyranny while the allies whose security benefits from US strength make trade deals with America's enemies, there is no point in the US continuing to be part of NATO.

The morale boosting of being stationed in Europe is not what it used to be (unless some diplomatic post) and will soon carry the same weight as being stationed in Iraq. Yesterday (Good Friday 2026) we saw British leaders praising sitting down with muzzies, and a few days ago Britain's monarch (who has allegedly converted to Islam,) lauding a Muslim leader who is presiding over a genocide of Christians in his homeland. No surprise then that the United Nations is considering a global ban on criticism of Islam.

This begs the question how long will it be until Great Britain, Germany, or France become just another Muslim country with a nuke. Europe is a sinking ship, recruiting more and more basket case states like Albania to the European Union to drag down even powerhouse economies like Germany

The conflict in Ukraine, which NATO could have prevented had any leader including Trump's predecessor, ben able to muster the Testicular Fortitude to stand up to both Moscow, and the neo - Nazi regime in Kiev, was a money laundering scheme from the outset and is only an issue because of weak, appeasing, governments that lack the will to act. So what, hypothetically is lost if Ukraine is lost? The great have always swallowed up the lesser.

The Russians have no room or reason to laugh as they send their personnel, their people, to the slaughtered in Ukraine. Why is it--how is Russia such a problem if Europe keeps funding Russia for Russian energy? Does Europe fear a Russian invasion? Why? China never feared NATO as they do the other treaty/blocs formed by the US, Japan, SKorea, Australia, et. al.

And what's "funny", just like Russia, China probably sees the European betrayal of American interests as "funny". Is Europe a federal nation of semi autonomous states, or a continent made up of individual nationalities? No one seems to know and that seems the point all along.

Its not just NATO, and the United Nations that would be bankupt without American support, it's the WHO, IMF, all of these international organizations that have lost sight of their original purpose and meanings, and are now a gigantic anti-American bureaucraxy with ambitions to become a global government, and yet find themselves incapable of survival without US taxpayer dollars.

Should the US taxpayer pay eternally for anti-American behavior? For alliances that like to virtue signal their opposition to America?

If Trump quits both NATO and the UN both will die and nations will be forced to make alliances and trade arrangements with geographic neighbours and nations of similar economic and cultural development instead of bureaucrats from third world failed states being allowed to jerk the strings of successful, socially and economically devloped nations.

Iran - US Peace Talks Dead - Well We All Knew They Were Stillborn

by Arthur Foxake, 3 April 2026

Peace talks between the US and Iran aimed at ending the middle east conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz to shipping have reached a “dead end”, mediators have said. A spokesman for theThe Islamic Republic regime told negotiators from third-party countries attempting to mediate negotiations that US demands were “unacceptable”, according to The Wall Street Journal. Tehran said it was unwilling to meet US officials in Pakistan in the coming days as planned.

Islamabad had hosted initial talks to end the Gulf war alongside foreign ministers from Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, which were never attended by the US, Israel or Iran.Officials from Turkey and Egypt are still considering new venues for talks, including Doha or Istanbul, and are also looking at fresh proposals to overcome the deadlock, according to the mediators.

Negotiations have stalled since Donald Trump, the US president, presented Tehran with a 14-point peace plan that was deemed unrealistic by the Iranian regime.

Iran has now gained leverage for its negotiating position by closing the entrance to the Persian Gulf and disrupting global oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.

Though Trump is making ridiculous claims about ending the war and having crushed Iran, the US that is more keen on a peace deal as Iran has the advantage here, and to the Ayatollahs who lead that country every war is a holy war and they are never going to meekly roll over.

Trump can bomb them back to the stone age which would be a war crime since it targets civilians, but that will take a lot of bombs and a lot of time because Iran has a huge land area. However provided Iran can fire the odd drone or missile or launch a small, fast, heavily armed boat from its mosquito fleet periodically at tankers in The Gulf, no insurance will be possible and the Strait of Hormuz remains shut.

With Russia and China supporting Iran with weapons and technology the greatet risk of escalation for the USA is that, having seen the weakness of the western alliance, the BRICS powers might just decide the opportunity to destroy American economic dominance is too good to miss.

The west can expect elevated gas, food and oil prices for a long time, government debt will become more expensive, living costs - already at crisis level due to misguided Net Zero policies - will continue to rise and the global economy will be plunged into recession.

There is now no way out of this for Trump without regime change and though he claimed the reigime had been destroyed the old guard are still in place, this is why the USA needs a negotiated peace. The only other way to end the war os a land invasion which requires hundreds of thousands of troops and offers no gurantee of success. There would be a 50 / 50 chance of another forever war like Iraq, Aghanistan or \vietnam.

The White House and The Pentagon have miscslculated badly here, this blog warned Iran would be no pushover and most military experts said the same. The tolerance for pain from the regime is much greater than Western poplations are prepared to put up with. I am no fan of the Islamists and have felt for a long time that Iran's theocratic regime needed to be dealt with however this is not going to end well for Trump or the global economy

Who is funding ISIS, how has the terror group managed to assemble such a large, well equipped and (apparently) well fed fighting force and been able to wage a two year war against the Assad regime in Syria, the forces of the autonomous Kurds and the army of the Iraqi government, such as it is? Who is facilitating their illegal oil trade that is keeping Islamic State afloat.

Obama Has been An Inspirational President?Well He Probably Inspired More Suicides Than Any Otherhttps://greenteeth.wordpress.com/2017/01/18/obama-has-been-an-inspirational-presidentwell-he-probably-inspired-more-suicides-than-any-other/ Obama’s greatest achievement perhaps it to have put Donald Trump in The White House. Whether you think this is a good or bad thing depends on your political stance. This blog is neutral, our view being that Trump can’t be a worse president than any of the three that preceded him.

Iran's Ayatollahs save SyriaPutin and Now That Russia's Putin and Iran's Ayatollahs Have Neutralised ISIS in Syria the focus of terror shifts to Turkey, the NATO members that, with the fuill knowledge of the USA ans European powers has been helping ISIS in its bid to overthrow the Assad regime.

Russia's Surprise Withdrawal From Syria? "If We Don't Go Away, We Can't Come back Again.
There is no doubt that the withdrawal is not quite what it seems to be, but more likely a tactical move by the Russians. The Kremlin feels it has done enough to secure the regime of President Assad, the remnants of the Sunni Muslim Free Syrian Army are no longer capable of mounting a challenge and the Syrians, along with Shi'ite militias in Iraq and Kurdish irregulars, backed by Iranian Republic an Guard troops ought to be capable of dealing with ISIS

From The Bloated Big State A Mighty Trump Burst Forth
Many Americans cannot understand why so many apparently reasonable people support Donald Trump. To the irrational left he has become an even more potent hate symbol that Sarah Palin, to the right he is a maverick and a loudmouthed clown with a ridiulous haircut (perfect qualifications to be a rapper if only he was black.) But few intellectuals or members of the political elite or the medic circus can understand why people are supporting him.

The Business of War: Defense Sales Keep Economies Of Manufacturing Nations Afloat
Tens of thousands have been killed and millions displaced due to 'humanitarian' interventions by the developed nations (led by the USA, France and the UKm the FUKUS axis) in the domestic politics of third world nation. Usually the interventions support rebel groups who if they came to power would be far more oppressive and brutal regime than the one they replaced.

Hypocrite David Cameron defends selling arms to outrageous Saudi regime
Not only have Hypocrite David Cameron's government been caught out giving technical support to the appalling Saudi Arabian regime of head amputators, The House Of Saud, they are very eager to sell armaments to the regimes which violates human rights in ways even Pol Pot could not imagine.

Loud Trump Resonates Throughout America - Boggart Abroad
I don't know why the politically correct left are getting so worked up about The Trump, American politics is even more tightly controlled by big money than the European system, and the really big money (Golman Sachs, J P Morgan, Soros and company) are not going to let him win. It would upset thrir buddies in Saudi Arabia too much.

US Presidents Of The Past warned Against Secret, Shadow Government. By now it should be obvious that peacemake, joybringer and putative aquatic pedestrian Barack Hussein Obama was never really in charge of the US Government. Whatever Obama said would happen, all the American government's policies ensured the opposit would happen. The embedded article thows some light on how the US government really works

Teacher Forced To Resign For 'Sharing' Material Critical Of Obama And His Beloved Muslim Terrorists
The supporters of the wannabe King of the American Empire like to describe themselves as 'liberal', 'progressive', and left wing. If they were really any of those things they would not be as fanatically committed to the idea of suppressing free speech as they are.

Europe's Net Zero Zealots Exposed As Green Goons By Hormuz Crisis

On Saturday, President Donald Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, demanding it reopen the Strait of Hormuz or risk the 'obliteration' of its power infrastructure

For several decades Europe's political and intellectual elites have been trying to brainwash us into accepting a future of medieval serfdom witch a constant torrent of scaremongering propaganda about the imminent threat Climate Armageddon, a destruction of civilisation due to the effects of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emitted by human activities. Yes you read that right, Carbon Dioxide, the trace atmospheric gas without which the carbon based life forms (that's every living thing on the planet, including us humans,) could not survive.

Germany, Europe's most powerful economy, was one of the leaders in this race to decarbinisation (aka deindustrialisation,) and its leaders seldom missed an opportunity to deliver condescending lectures to the rest of Europe about the wonderful world that awaited those nations that rejected modern technology and the prosperity it brought us in favour of windmills and rrewilding. Some of us can still picture the young Joschka Fischer, a Leftist of the Greens party who took oath of office as Environment Minister in the German state of Hesse wearing sneakers and jeans in 1985.

Since then — in the name of Gaia, the Greek Goddess of Earth – Germany's governing elite have dumbed down their citizens and hamstrung their once mighty corporations that dominated the global chemical, automotive and precision engineering industries through most of the 19th and 20th centuries. They are no longer Europe's most powerful economy, though still the biggest on the continent, te manufacturing powerhouse that was Germany is now a debt driven ponzi scheme for professional welfare claimants.

Germany’s Energiewende, the EU’s Green New Deal and the UK’s Climate Change Act unleashed punitive green mandates and carbon taxes. The Obama and Biden administrations in the USA joined Brussels, bankrupting the US economy in the process, in setting virtuous examples of ‘climate leadership‘, a defining criterion of energy policy in Western Europe and the US as administrations throw common sense to the dogs in pursuit of Net Zero, (with the significant exception of President Trump’s two administrations.) China, India and Russia and others in the Global South went along with the virtuous ride, but only so far as necessary to benefit from the promise of climate finance and reparations.

All this has been made irrelevant by the 2026 conflict in the Persian Gulf and the partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz which has sent European gas prices sharply higher, reviving questions about Europe’s energy vulnerability, but even more seriously could drag the world into global conflict if the Americans are crazy enough to nuke Iran.

While Europe successfully reduced its reliance on Russian gas after 2022, it has traded one dependency for another: globally traded LNG exposed to fragile shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el Mandeb (Gate of Tears) strait which controls access to oil and gas facilities on The Red Sea.

Even Net Zero zealots argue that dependence is not only a concern for energy security; it also creates decarbonization fragility - the risk that reliance on imported fossil fuels undermines the clean energy transition itself. Price spikes push producers toward coal, raise emissions, and give politicians reasons to delay climate action.

The solution to both problems is the same: faster deployment of domestic clean energy, better electricity grids, and a coordinated EU industrial strategy. Reducing fossil-fuel demand at home is not only a climate goal - it is the most durable foundation for Europe’s energy security.

The question nobody seems to be asking is why are we aligning with euro our history tells us go west. OK socialist Europe does not like Trump or American free market economics and are quite open about it. For his part Trump has told them what many Americans have always believed, that European leaders are a bunch of limp wristed faggots, obessed with virtue signalling and delusions of moral superiority, content to let the USA be custodian of the free world's security while in Europe, more sophisticated statesmen wallow in existential angst over problems like how much we should pay African, South American and Caribbean nations in reparation for The Atlantic Slave Trade, which no living person had anything to do with in any way.

In insulting UK and European leaders over their reluctance to inolve their cointries in the latest middle east conflict, Trump only says what other presidents were to polite to speak of in public and should be applauded for what the real liberals of former times would call speaking truth to power (or to be accurate, delusions of power.)
