Notice what was posted at <em>EuroNews<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"c-article-redesign-title\"><span class=\"c-article-title__prefix--grey\">Euroviews. <\/span> Europe is permanently vulnerable to blackmail \u2014 it must rearm<\/h2>\n<p>16 January 2026<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"c-article-summary\">In recent months, the EU has suffered the most serious diplomatic defeats. This will only change in the future if the member states possess greater military power, Karl-Heinz Paqu\u00e9 writes in an opinion article for Euronews.<\/h3>\n<div class=\"c-article-content js-article-content\">\n<p>It was a picture of misery and humiliation for the European Union. At the end of July 2025, Ursula von der Leyen and Donald Trump unveiled the outcome of their so-called tariff negotiations in Scotland: Washington&#8217;s 15% tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>In return, Europe promised massive investments in the US \u2013 for nothing more than an assurance from Trump that his threat of even higher duties would not be carried out.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, it amounted to little more than outright blackmail, with no genuine negotiation on equal terms. Further setbacks for Europe may now be looming.<\/p>\n<p>One case in point is the &#8220;Greenland affair&#8221;: Trump has bluntly threatened \u2013 without regard for international law \u2013 to annex the vast island, buy it, or lure Greenlanders with financial incentives so generous that Denmark would be unable to compete. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The core problem is straightforward: Europe&#8217;s NATO members simply lack the power to deter a unilateral US act of aggression through credible threats in advance \u2013 let alone to reverse it afterwards with a military response.<\/p>\n<p>The same applies in the economic sphere. If the EU were to threaten the US with a hard trade war, Washington could at any time call into question its NATO security guarantees, with potentially devastating consequences for Europe&#8217;s security vis-\u00e0-vis Putin&#8217;s Russia. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It is therefore clear that even within NATO, Europe can no longer rely on the United States. The only consequence is this: Europe must rearm on a massive scale.<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark of 5% of GDP for defence agreed at the NATO summit in 2025 is an important step in the right direction. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Europe is facing its most serious political challenges in decades. The credit for this goes to Trump. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/01\/16\/europe-is-permanently-vulnerable-to-blackmail-it-must-rearm\">https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/01\/16\/europe-is-permanently-vulnerable-to-blackmail-it-must-rearm<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The idea that Europe needs to rearm because of Donald Trump is not new. But with his statements and actions the past year, more and more are pushing for this.

Deuteronomy 29:23-25; Isaiah 9:19-21;Ezekiel 6:6), which will help it conquer the USA, which is the military power with the strongest fortresses (cf.

Hitler held an unshakable conviction that his German Reich would one day rule all of Europe \u2014 and from there seize the leadership of the world! He dreamed of a &#8220;new world order&#8221; that would remake the political face of the earth, with himself at its helm.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font_text\">In 1939 Hitler began in earnest his struggle for the mastery of the world. (Stump K. Coming Soon &#8211; A New World Order. Good News, 1985)<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Adolf Hitler used an economic crisis to rise up and form his so-called third reich.<\/p>\n<p>Could there be some type of a &#8216;fourth reich&#8217; this century to follow the &#8216;third reich&#8217; of last century?<\/p>\n<p>The old Radio Church of God thought so, even decades earlier:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"font_text\">The &#8220;German Problem&#8221; is not dead. Germans are thinking more than ever of an undivided Reich &#8211; and of an undivided Europe! &#8230; On the 17th of June, Germans celebrated a national holiday a day dedicated to AN UNDIVIDED GERMANY. Stores closed. No one worked. The striking thing is that this day signifies something that has not happened yet! Most holidays commemorate an event &#8211; something that has already taken place. Not this one &#8211; it looks forward to an event which all Germans hope for and even pray for &#8211; AN UNDIVIDED GERMANY! (Kelly R. The March for an Undivided Germany. Plain Truth, September 1964)<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, since that came out, East and West Germany united, the European Union formed, and a European currency has been implemented.<\/p>\n<p>So, is a &#8216;fourth reich&#8217; in the process of forming? Some in Germany and elsewhere seem to think so.<\/p>\n<p>Now this does not mean that everyone in Germany wants it to militarily dominate the world, but Bible prophecy shows that deep down, those there do want to dominate.<\/p>\n<p>Notice the following prophecy:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>5 \u201cWoe to Assyria, the rod of My anger<br \/>\nAnd the staff in whose hand is My indignation.<br \/>\n6 I will send him against an ungodly nation,<br \/>\nAnd against the people of My wrath<br \/>\nI will give him charge,<br \/>\nTo seize the spoil, to take the prey,<br \/>\nAnd to tread them down like the mire of the streets.<br \/>\n7 <strong>Yet he does not mean so,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Nor does his heart think so;<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> But it is in his heart to destroy,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> And cut off not a few nations<\/strong>.<br \/>\n8 For he says,<br \/>\n\u2018Are not my princes altogether kings?

The Hebrew word used signifies being \u201csoiled\u201d or impious, and certainly that is now the case for the nation known as the United States.<\/p>\n<p>What exactly is the &#8216;fourth reich&#8217;? Notice one interpretation:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The <strong>Fourth Reich<\/strong> (German: <em>Viertes Reich<\/em>) is a theoretical future German empire, following the First Reich (the Holy Roman Empire, 962\u20131806), the Second Reich (Imperial Germany, 1871\u20131918) and the Third Reich (Nazi Germany, 1933\u20131945). (Wikipedia, accessed 04\/03\/15)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Some believe that Germany already has had a type of fourth reich as it has been able to dominate European matters at least for the past decade or so.<\/p>\n<p>Biblically, the final <a href=\"\/europa.htm\">European<\/a> <a href=\"\/kingofthenorth.htm\">King of the North<\/a> will lead a revived &#8216;Holy Roman Empire.&#8217; This will be the empire of the Beast power of Revelation 13.
