The day after Donald Trump said of the US and China, “We are the two superpower,” Xi Jingping made a similar statement:<\/p>\n

May 14, 2026<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Chinese leader Xi Jinping hailed the US-China relationship as the world\u2019s most consequential, telling President Donald Trump:\u00a0\u201cWe must make it work and never mess it up.\u201d<\/a> https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/politics\/live-news\/trump-china-visit-xi-meeting-hnk<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

EuroNews<\/em> posted the following:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2018We\u2019re the two superpowers\u2019 \u2013 so, where is Europe?<\/h2>\n

As US President Donald Trump continues a closely-watched visit to Beijing to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping about trade and security, Europe is anxiously wondering how it will fit into what comes out.<\/h3>\n

14 May 2026<\/p>\n

Before US President Donald Trump departed the White House on Tuesday for an almost 14-hour flight to the Chinese capital, he outlined in plain English the importance of the visit. \u201cWe’re the two superpowers,\u201d he said unabashedly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re the strongest nation on earth in terms of military. China\u2019s considered second,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

After landing, both presidents expressed hope that the meeting \u2013 seen as the most consequential bilateral of 2026 \u2013 would bear fruit …<\/p>\n

Europe is watching all this from the periphery, wondering how the continent will be squeezed between the superpowers, if at all. …<\/p>\n

The nightmare scenario for Europe is that Trump, who travelled to Beijing under the darkest economic clouds of his political career, strikes a deal that leaves the bloc in the dust. Experts can\u2019t exclude this as a potential outcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cRealistically, the Trump-Xi talks are becoming very bilateral,\u201d said Jonas Parello-Plessner, a visiting fellow in the Indo-Pacific programme of the German Marshall Fund (GMF). …<\/p>\n

Member of the European Parliament Michael Bloss sits on the delegation responsible for Brussels-Beijing relations. He just told Europe Today<\/strong> that Europe has to realise it is not sitting at the table during these talks which could impact its future \u2013 and that the continent’s survival relies on speaking with one, strong voice.<\/p>\n

“China is doing this divide and conquer policy,” he said, “but the question is, for us, how do we get more autonomy and more sovereignty?” https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2026\/05\/14\/were-the-two-superpowers-so-where-is-europe<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

It is not just China trying to separate the US from Europe.\u00a0 No later than when Hillary Clinton helped push the Asia pivot policy, which then US Vice President Joe Biden confirmed in 2013 (see https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/news\/prophecy\/usas-biden-rejects-china-fly-zone-and-commits-to-more-support-in-asia\/<\/a>), the USA has decided that it needs more military focus on China and less on Europe.<\/p>\n

The USA is moving further away from military support of Europe:<\/p>\n

US cancels planned troop deployment to Poland, Euronews confirms<\/h2>\n

14 May 2026<\/p>\n

Confirming the development, a senior NATO military official told Euronews that replenishment forces \u201cdo not factor into NATO\u2019s deterrence and defence plans.\u201d The move relates to Washington’s decision to withdraw 5000 troops from Germany after a feud between President Trump and Chancellor Merz.<\/h3>\n
\n

The United States has cancelled the deployment of 4,000 troops to Poland as part of a broader Pentagon plan to withdraw 5,000 soldiers from NATO territory in Germany, Euronews can confirm. …<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the US administration announced the drawdown amid a growing rift between Washington and Berlin, after the German Chancellor Frederic Merz characterised the US-Israeli war in Iran as ill-conceived.<\/p>\n

He also said that the White House had been “humiliated” in the regime in Tehran.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump reacted angrily to the remarks, …<\/p>\n

The Pentagon subsequently announced that Washington would withdraw at least 5,000 US troops from military bases across Germany over the next six to nine months.<\/p>\n

But in an abrupt move confirmed by Euronews, the US has instead scrapped the 4,000-strong rotational force due to replace troops once they completed their deployment to Poland. …<\/p>\n

European NATO allies have anticipated a reduction in US troop levels since Trump returned to office. Both the Pentagon and the White House had signalled they would review the global positioning of American forces, with NATO territory expected to be affected. https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2026\/05\/14\/us-cancels-planned-troop-deployment-to-poland-euronews-confirms<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The moves by the USA are pushing the Europeans to conclude that they must have an independent military.<\/p>\n

Notice also the following from the German press:<\/p>\n

Germany seeks alternatives to US long-range missiles<\/h2>\n

14 May 2026<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump has halted plans to station US intermediate-range weapons in Germany, intended to serve as a deterrent against Russia. The move has Germany worried …<\/p>\n

Plans to station US Tomahawk missiles in Germany<\/a> have stalled, raising fears of a deterrence gap.<\/p>\n

Berlin is now exploring alternatives, including procurement and joint development, as Europe seeks to strengthen its own military capabilities. https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/germany-seeks-alternatives-to-us-long-range-missiles\/video-77152665<\/a><\/p>\n

Spain<\/a><\/span> is calling for the creation of a European Union<\/a><\/span> army, amid fears the continent can no longer rely on NATO<\/a><\/span> for military protection.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s foreign minister Jos\u00e9 Manuel Albares said NATO, which has been dominated by the US since its inception in 1949, may not be replied upon to provide security guarantees. …<\/p>\n

\u2018This is the moment of the sovereignty and independence of Europe. The Americans are inviting us to that.<\/p>\n

\u2018We have to be free of dependence. Free of dependence means to be free of coercion, whether it comes to tariffs<\/a><\/span> or the use of military threat. And free of the consequences of someone else\u2019s decisions.\u2019 https:\/\/www.dailymail.com\/news\/article-15810309\/Spain-calls-creation-EU-army-amid-fears-Europe-no-longer-rely-NATO-protection.html<\/a><\/p>\n

11 May 2026<\/span><\/p>\n

BERLIN<\/span> (own report) \u2013 German defence strategists have presented a new concept paper for German and European rearmament. Entitled \u2018Sparta 2.0\u2019, it pursues military independence from the United States. … The path to \u201cEuropean defence autonomy\u201d lies in \u201cthe commitment of Germany\u2019s financial and industrial resources\u201d. This roadmap to remilitarisation reflects an ever-closer intertwining of German policymaking and German think-tanks with the burgeoning defence sector companies. …<\/p>\n

\u201cFar-reaching autonomy\u201d could be achieved \u201cin most areas\u201d within five to ten years. … Berlin\u2019s contribution would amount to 150 billion euros, or even 160 billion euros, under the \u2018Sparta 2.0\u2019 vision. After all, \u201cthe path to European defence autonomy inevitably leads via the deployment of Germany\u2019s financial and industrial resources.\u201d Germany becomes the core of a future European military powerhouse. https:\/\/www.german-foreign-policy.com\/en\/news\/detail\/10399<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Europeans feel that they can no longer trust or rely on the USA.<\/p>\n

Consistent with the following prophecy, the USA is turning friends into enemies:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

1 <\/span>How lonely sits the city<\/span><\/span>
\nThat was<\/i>\u00a0full of people!<\/span>
\nHow<\/i>\u00a0like a widow is she,<\/span>
\nWho\u00a0was<\/i>\u00a0great among the nations!<\/span>
\nThe princess among the provinces<\/span>
\nHas become a\u00a0slave!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2 <\/span>She weeps bitterly in the night,
\nHer tears\u00a0are<\/i>\u00a0on her cheeks;<\/span>
\nAmong all her lovers<\/span>
\nShe has none to comfort\u00a0her.<\/i><\/span>
\nAll her friends have dealt treacherously with her;<\/span>
\nThey have become her enemies. (Lamentations 1:1-2)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The USA has been great among the nations, but it will be destroyed by some of its allies\u2013mainly European ones\u2013ones that the federal government of the USA wants to build up militarily.<\/p>\n

The Bible teaches that the coming European<\/a> King of the North<\/a> will have a \u201cgreat army\u201d (Daniel 11:25) and \u201cmany ships\u201d (Daniel 11:40)\u2013and the USA is promoting this!<\/p>\n

Some may think that since the USA is the strongest military in the world that it cannot be defeated by Europe.<\/p>\n

However, the Bible shows that in the end time, the strongest military power will be defeated:<\/p>\n

39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and<\/i>\u00a0advance\u00a0its<\/i> glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. (Daniel 11:39)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The \u201che\u201d above is the European King of the North Beast power.<\/p>\n

A woke military is a weaker military.<\/p>\n

A military and government that promote perversity and despise the word of God are setting the USA up for defeat.<\/p>\n

That is what the Bible teaches.<\/p>\n

Do you believe it?<\/p>\n

Consider the following which is in my free online book Lost Tribes and Prophecies:\u00a0What will happen to Australia, the British Isles, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America?<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Bible shows that the Beast\u00a0will have special help from \u201cunclean spirits\u201d (Revelation 16:13), NOT God, and will basically be considered to be unconquerable:<\/p>\n

3<\/sup>… And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4<\/sup> So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, \u201cWho is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?\u201d (Revelation 13:3-4)<\/p>\n

Notice that the military power of the Beast was something that the world will marvel, be astonished about.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Because despite fascination with war (Daniel 11:38), no one truly thought that the European Beast power had the military ability to defeat the U.S.A. with its Anglo-allies (Daniel 11:39), and then the Islamic King of the South (Daniel 11:40-43). Revelation 13:3-4 also supports the idea that the Beast may rise up because of violent civil unrest in Europe.<\/p>\n

Europe to Rise<\/strong><\/p>\n

How can Europe rise up?<\/p>\n

Technology appears to be the key to a powerful European military. One aspect could include particle collider research. The number of colliders in the U.S.A. dwindled down to one under the Obama and Bush Administrations[i]<\/a> and the one that is left, \u201cpales next to Europe\u2019s Large Hadron Collider.\u201d[ii]<\/a><\/p>\n

Europe has the leading collider in the world, CERN\u2019s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and Germany announced that it is planning a possibly even more advanced one called FAIR (F.A.I.R. stands for the F<\/strong>acility for A<\/strong>ntiproton and I<\/strong>on R<\/strong>esearch).[iii]<\/a> 3000 scientists are reportedly involved with FAIR.[iv]<\/a> PESCO is involved in numerous military technological projects.[v]<\/a><\/p>\n

It looks like Germany\u2019s FAIR, along with the LHC and other technology like the stellarator, will help the Europeans produce military weaponry to fulfill certain end-time prophecies. Since Revelation 13:4 is discussing what seems to be a unique type of warfare, this warfare likely includes certain high-tech weapons (such as electromagnetic pulse, neutron bombs, unique delivery systems, etc.) that will be effective for a while. The FAIR and the LHC projects are also likely to spin-off economic benefits that may help propel Europe to be (for a short while) the economic leader of the world (cf. Revelation 18). Ultimately, the Europeans will be overcome by what appears to be a Russian-led, mainly Asian, confederation, cf. Jeremiah 50:41-43 & Daniel 11:44, possibly by exploiting some technological flaw, like creating a software virus, etc., while also amassing troops, etc.<\/p>\n

The European Space Agency and other European programs related to technology like Horizon 2020 <\/em>are expected to bear fruit to the economic and military power of Europe shortly.[vi]<\/a> Many projects are ongoing that will assist Europe.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s stellarator nuclear fusion project and Europe\u2019s Galileo satellite system are two such projects that are starting to show a lot of potential to aid the rise of Europe in the next several years.<\/p>\n

While the U.S.A., Australia, and others are currently worried mostly about China, the European developments will end up not being good for the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic descended lands, including England.<\/p>\n

Here is one of Nostradamus\u2018 prophecies involving Germany\u00a0and England:<\/p>\n

Nostradamus<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>(died 1566) Although nations talk peace, troubles brew everywhere.\u00a0 Militaristic parties rise in Germany\u00a0and pagan cults revive. Opinions are not free and the people are not enriched. The heir to the London\u00a0government is overthrown for having made too many peace protests.[vii]<\/a><\/p>\n

While many may believe that World War II\u00a0fulfilled the above, it looks a bit more likely to be related to the next war as \u201copinions\u201d are less free now than they were several decades ago\u2014and \u201cthe heir to the London\u00a0government\u201d was not truly overthrown during WWII.<\/p>\n

Thus, both biblical and certain Roman Catholic prophecies seem to point to the destruction of the English-speaking peoples by a Great Monarch. As well as a time leaders will falsely proclaim peace (Jeremiah 6:14,8:11; Ezekiel 13:10,16; 1 Thessalonians 5:3).<\/p>\n

If you are in the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic-American\u00a0countries (because you did not flee with \u201cthe secret sect\u201d of the \u201cNazarene\u201d Philadelphian Christians), and you see them destroyed, will you repent\u00a0then? If not, what will it take for you to do that? If you are in the Arabic\u00a0lands, will you repent then, or will you wait until your great leader is destroyed shortly thereafter (Daniel 11:40-43)?<\/p>\n

If you are elsewhere in the world, will you repent\u00a0then? If not, how much will it take for you to understand these events are truly coming to pass?<\/p>\n

Anyway, yes, the US will be defeated militarily. But many of the reasons are NOT those that its political or military leadership understands as they do NOT rely on the Bible.<\/p>\n

The USA’s focus on Asia is blinding it to the power that the Bible says will arise in Europe.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, you can see that.<\/p>\n
