Trump Administration’s ‘wake up’ call leading to larger German army and European Union to develop Artificial Intelligence without Anthropic


COGwriter

One of the many unintended consequences of the Trump Administration is pushing the Europeans from being an ally to an adversary, consistent with prophecies such as the following:

1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The princess among the provinces
Has become a slave!

2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. (Lamentations 1:1-2)

39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. (Daniel 11:39)

Germany is responding to the Trump Administration by increasing its army:

June 14, 2026

Germany is pledging to become a more powerful military force inside NATO, with Berlin’s ambassador to Washington telling Fox News Digital that the country is ready to assume greater responsibility for European security after decades in which the United States carried much of the alliance’s military burden.

“Germany is stepping up — we heard the call!” German Ambassador to the United States Jens Hanefeld told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said Germany’s armed forces should become the strongest conventional army in Europe, a goal Hanefeld said is now backed by Berlin’s new military strategy. … The effort is unfolding against a backdrop of public friction between President Donald Trump and Merz, …

After World War II, West Germany was allowed to rearm only within a Western alliance framework …

Merz added another irritant. Speaking to a young audience in Germany, he said he would not advise his children to live, study or work in the United States “today,” citing America’s changing social climate, …

For Germany, the change is not only about money. It is a political and cultural break with decades of caution about military power. https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/germany-pledges-build-europes-strongest-100023679.html

Many seem to not realize that although the Bible prophesied that Germany would lose WWI and WWII:

23 And after the league is made with him he shall act deceitfully, for he shall come up and become strong with a small number of people. 24 He shall enter peaceably, even into the richest places of the province; and he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his forefathers: he shall disperse among them the plunder, spoil, and riches; and he shall devise his plans against the strongholds, but only for a time. (Daniel 11:23-24)

Consider that the German-European alliance was defeated in WWI and WWII. So yes, the fathers (WWII) and forefathers (WWI) of the final King of the North failed to defeat the UK and USA those two times. But notice that he is prophesied to be successful against the strongholds, in this case meaning the military alliance of the USA and UK. The third time basically is WWIII and the Germanic-European King of the North Beast power will succeed per Daniel 11:24 and Daniel 11:39 (see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses). Despite having wealth and the strongholds, the USA and UK will be defeated (this is also basically confirmed in Daniel 11:39). And the USA is unknowingly pushing Europe in that direction.

Let me remind everyone that the Bible teaches that the coming European King of the North Beast power will have “a great army” (Daniel 11:25) and the Trump Administration is pushing Europe in that direction.

I found the tweet at the beginning of this post after seeing the following:

‘Wake-up call’: Europe reacts to Anthropic halting access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models

13 June 2026

European politicians have sounded the alarm on sovereign AI after US firm Anthropic announced it was halting access to some of its top AI models following a directive from the Trump administration.

The company said late on Friday that it had received a letter from the government ordering it to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for foreign nationals over national security concerns.

“The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance,” Anthropic said.

The news has prompted a wave of reaction across Europe, with many politicians saying it should come as a major reality check for governments and calling for increased investment into homegrown tech. …

Bruno Retailleau, former French interior minister and 2027 presidential candidate

“Washington’s decision to cut access to Anthropic’s most powerful models should serve as a wake-up call. In the race for artificial intelligence, a nation that depends on others for its technology is a nation that can be unplugged overnight,” he wrote on X.

“France has unique assets in Europe: nuclear electricity that is decarbonized and sovereign, engineers among the best in the world, but also companies like Mistral, OVHcloud, Scaleway, and ChapsVision, capable of competing with American giants. But we must put an end to naivety and decide, at last, to rearm our technological power”. …

Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch far-right Party for Freedom

“I want my #Anthropic Claude Fable 5 back!,” Wilders wrote on X.

“AI is more and more national sovereignty,” he added, while also calling for the Netherlands to accelerate the development of its own models. https://www.euronews.com/2026/06/13/wake-up-call-europe-reacts-to-anthropic-halting-access-to-its-fable-5-and-mythos-5-ai-mode

Yes, these types of moves by the Trump Administration are pushing the Europeans to develop their own stronger, independent military and AI.

European Union (EU) governments were considering doing this with “Palantir, the US-based data analytics company whose platforms serve as the data and artificial intelligence (AI) backbone for militaries worldwide” (see European governments are moving to reduce their reliance on Palantir–why?).

Now, with the latest software restriction, this will further push Europe to want more independence from the USA.

As reported here last month, the: EU and EAEU taking steps on computer chips, data, and AI to make them less dependent upon USA technology.

The European Union continues to move forward on its software goals.

Why?

One of its goals has long been to be independent of USA based software as well as data centers. Martin Armstrong, not related to the COG Armstrongs, posted the following:

Europe No Longer Trusts America With Its Data

May 15, 2026

Europe is now openly discussing restricting Microsoft, Amazon, and Google from handling some of its most sensitive government data, including financial records, judicial files, and healthcare information, and this marks a major turning point in the relationship between Europe and the American technology sector.

According to reports surrounding the European Commission’s upcoming “Tech Sovereignty Package,” Brussels is preparing measures that could limit how foreign cloud providers manage sensitive public-sector workloads, specifically targeting the dominant American firms that currently control most of Europe’s digital infrastructure.

This is Europe effectively admitting that it no longer trusts the United States to control the infrastructure storing its most critical national data. There are other private corporations handling public data in Europe; privacy is NOT the concern. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/government-surveillance/europe-no-longer-trusts-america-with-its-data/

I agree with Martin Armstrong that this is not because of personal privacy concerns. Europe will develop a type of digital prison as it will fulfill the ‘666’ prophecies of Revelation 13:16-18. Europe wants to be the leader in information technologies–and does not want to be dependent on the USA.

The Bible shows that a European power will arise whose leader will “understand hidden things”:

23 And in the latter end of their kingdom, about the perfecting of the transgressors, a king stands up, fierce of face, and understanding hidden things; (Daniel 8:23, LSV)

While the above is not limited to the use of software and data centers, understanding those look to be a factor in the fulfillment of that prophecy.

From a military perspective, I expect that the Europeans will guard/hide aspects of their technology (the CERN Large Hadron Collider and other projects come to mind), which will also assist it to fulfill militaristic prophecies such as in Revelation 13:3-4 and Daniel 11:39.
