Is A Future War Between The US And Europe Unavoidable?
May 17, 2026
For those who might have been out of the loop over the past few months, there is a war going on between the US and Europe.
It’s clear that the European elites have a distaste for US policy. …
American conservatives, nationalists, patriots, truth activists, etc. are the target of an international demonization campaign. And, as long as we hold sway in American politics, they will treat the US as a potential enemy. …
It has long been my position that the globalists in Europe intend on integrating into a wider opposition bloc, a coalition against nationalism, free markets, meritocracy, free democracy, etc. Evidence suggests that this coalition will include elements of Asia and their eyes on resource rich regions of Africa. …
I believe European leaders (much like leftists in the US) want the establishment of a “new world order” in which national borders are erased and green authoritarian socialism is enforced under a globally centralized bureaucracy. …
Europe has been overwhelmed by a third world incursion. Between 50 million and 60 million migrants now reside in the region, making up around 20% of Western Europe’s total population. But is this just globalist sabotage of the west? Or, does this army of migrants serve another purpose? …
What if world war is still on the table, or an economic collapse followed by globalist consolidation? What if European leaders see millions of extra bodies as a valuable resource to feed that war, or control the citizenry at home? Is mass immigration just about cultural replacement? Or, are third worlders being lured into the west with promises of easy plunder, only to be caught up as cannon fodder in a future conflict?
Have the globalists placed their bets on foreign hordes and the power of cheap labor (or cheap soldiers) as the key to victory? …
I would not be surprised to see talk of kinetic conflict between America and Europe in the next few years. Unless, something spectacular happens in the near term and the citizens of Europe take their countries back (most EU countries have to wait until 2027-2029 for elections). https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/future-war-between-us-and-europe-unavoidable
Yes, there will be a “kinetic conflict between America and Europe in the next few years“-meaning an actual war within a decade. Yes, a larger European army will form.
A larger European army will rise up according to the Bible:
16 … the king of the north … 25 … shall stir up his power and his courage … with a great army. (Daniel 11:16, 25)
The Bible teaches that a leader will arise in Europe to become the aggressor against the USA in the future per Daniel 11:39 and Isaiah 10:5-12.
Europe already has PESCO, its Permanent Structured Cooperation–which it formed within a year of Donald Trump becoming President of the United States the first time–his position was used as a reason, in my view, to accelerate the move towards a stronger EU military.
The Europeans are concluding that they want greater military capability as they have concerns about the USA–plus some apparently see economic benefits to becoming more militaristic.
The Bible shows that a leader will arise in Europe who, though talking peace, eventually will destroy places like the USA, UK, and Canada:
24 His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power;
He shall destroy fearfully,
And shall prosper and thrive;
He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.25 “Through his cunning
He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule;
And he shall exalt himself in his heart.
He shall destroy many in their prosperity. (Daniel 8:24-25)25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Daniel 8:25, KJV).
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, NKJV)
So this leader gives people the impression that there will be “peace” and is involved in some type of deal. This is the same leader that confirms the covenant in Daniel 9:27 (see also The ‘Peace Deal’ of Daniel 9:27).
Consider that the German-European alliance was defeated in WWI and WWII. So, 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).
Yes, Germany was defeated twice last century. But notice also the following prophecy from the Book of Revelation:
14 … the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. (Revelation 13:14)
Germany, along with remnants of the old ‘Holy Roman Empire,’ were wounded by the swords of WWI and WWII, but has Germany has lived and now is mainly recovered from its prior wounds. And the EU is rising to be the final version of the old Holy Roman Empire.
Germany is more and more committed to becoming a major military power again.
Many in Europe are supporting that. Here is a prophecy about a war between Europe and the United States:
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)
Who has the strongest fortresses?
In the 21st century, the strongest fortresses in the world belong to the USA. Note that this is the same leader that in Daniel 11:24 will make a plan against the strongholds and do what his fathers and forefathers were not able to do.
Which is?
Defeat the USA, which is what Daniel 11:39 prophesies.
There will be many unintended consequences of the Trump-Vance Administration.
If you think that Europe cannot become a military force against the USA, consider that the Bible shows that Europe will reorganize and give power to the King of the North Beast power who will wage war so well the world will marvel:
12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)
6 I will send him against an ungodly nation,
And against the people of My wrath
I will give him charge,
To seize the spoil, to take the prey,
And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Yet he does not mean so,
Nor does his heart think so;
But it is in his heart to destroy,
And cut off not a few nations.
8 For he says,
‘Are not my princes altogether kings? (Isaiah 10:6-8)3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him? (Revelation 13:3-4)
Yes, Europe will become more militaristic. The twice defeated power, which had been mortally wounded, will heal and conquer.
This will not end well for Europe, the USA and it British-descended allies, or various nations in the Middle East and Northern Africa per Daniel 11:39-45.
The world is changing and biblical prophecies are in the process of being fulfilled.
