Live Conflict Israel-US vs Iran War (2026)

Someone from Trump's inner circle could tell him about the strategic value of Gibraltar
Or about the beauty of the Canary Islands

While it may sound far fatched now, I think that if Europe doesn’t gets its act together when it comes to defense, and if Trump’s regime manages to remain in power in the US, things could get ugly in the Atlantic.

I think Trumpists could set their eyes on European islands in the Atlantic. They already want Greenland, so why wouldn’t they want Iceland, Canary Islands, the Azores, Falkland, Cabo Verde, etc.

They could take everything in the name of “national security”.

It’s crazy to see so many European leaders still thinking the US is their ally. At this point, the US is a bigger threat to Europe than Russia, because Russia is going to be defeated soon, but the US is extremely powerful.

Time for the Europeans to start thinking of switching to a defence alliance that does not include the US as a member, I think. Of course such an alliance will be much weaker than NATO but an alliance in which member countries are not permitted to pursue their own foreign policy is a pretty useless alliance to its members.

NATO is already dead. As long as the US is inside, the credibility is zero. When one of the biggest threats to NATO members is a NATO member itself, what does it say about the alliance?

Europe needs to do its own NATO, to defend against the US. This is where future threats will come from.

I hope that won't happen. The strait of Gibraltar is only 9 miles wide. I don't want the US navy blockading the strait, paralysing Europe-Asia trade until the king of Spain goes to Washington to kiss the king of America's feet.

Dont forget the Suez chanal. If strait of Gibraltar is closed, US would lost mediterannean.
