Scott Ritter: Europe has nothing.
Take Germany: 80% of their liquefied natural gas comes from the US. The game is over and we can win whenever we want.
We can turn off the German economy like a light at any time. They have no options. And if Denmark, Norway or, say, Holland decide to step in and say.
“Hey, we can do something here too!”, we'll just slap them with secondary sanctions and that's it, end of story.
We are the masters of the world, the Western world. They've been on our backs for so long, they've forgotten how to be independent. It's like adult children who should have moved out of their parents' house a long time ago, but instead they live in the basement.
I feed them, I clothe them, I pay for the Internet, it's all on me. And now all of a sudden they're like “we have an opinion!” What opinion? You're nothing, you're nothing! You want to be somebody? Then do what we say and we might let you go free.
We, by the way, want to get off your backs ourselves, get out of Europe. Let them grow up. But first, our interests. And our interests are normal relations with Russia, because Russia is not Europe. It is bigger, stronger and more important than all your Europe put together.
Stop talking about Europe as if it were one! There is no Europe! There is no EU! It's all a stage set. There's a bunch of separate countries, each for themselves.
And Donald Trump will deal with them one by one. That's why Macron came alone, Starmer also showed up alone.
Trump will never let a delegation from the European Union or the European Commission into the White House. They just don't exist.
They are empty, they have no power, they have no votes.
So Europe has nothing to oppose us. We can crush any of your countries overnight! Literally!
