THE ILLUSIONS OF EUROPE – AT 2:41 P.M. ET:   We like to remind readers that there's a real world outside American politics and the latest attempts to brand President Trump a Commie spy.  We are used to regarding the nations of Western Europe as our allies, but how allied are they really?  Some disturbing thoughts from an expert follow.  As Trump attempts to restore the foreign policy of the United States, he will face resistance from the Obama disciples in Europe.  From Breitbart: 

A military analyst has criticised EU leaders for failing to accept that “the Western world is at war” and warned that Europe will see worse terror attacks committed by Islamic extremists.

“Most politicians do not want to admit that the Western world is at war and should act accordingly… Policy responses are, in most cases, inadequate,” Lukáš Visingr told Czech news channel ?T24.

Mr. Visginr added that the recent period of calm – following the spate of Islamic extremist-inspired terror attacks that included the London Bridge, Manchester, Champs Elysees, Paris, and Barcelona attacks during the summer of 2017 – should not be taken as permanent.

“Informants warn that there are hundreds and thousands of well-trained jihadists in Europe who are ready to carry out attacks,” he said, noting that these Islamic State militants are returning from war zones in the Middle East after facing military defeat.

The security specialist also observed that terror attacks hitherto have mostly been carried out by “keen amateurs; they were not people who had special training from ‘professional’ terrorists like the Islamic State”.

“When this new generation [of returning, trained Islamic State militants] begins attacking, I think that we are in for much worse things.”

“I am convinced that there will be large-scale Islamic extremist attacks in Europe,” Visginr warned.

COMMENT:  The entire piece is worth reading.  As usual, the Europeans are nostalgic for their foreign policies of the 1930s, which brought so much success.  Choke.  And, as usual, they believe that if they run into trouble, a call to Washington will solve the problem.

They don't realize that Washington has gotten tired of receiving collect calls.
