Defense expert Ko Colijn has been providing the Dutch for fifty years of interpretation with armed conflicts. This time he discusses how Donald Trump has much more patience with Vladimir Putin than with his own European allies.
Putin continues to surprise. He collects the presents that are used to him from Washington and continues to believe in a Russian victory in Ukraine. A stubborn view, because this year the Russians have hardly booked any terrain gain at the front and have heavy losses. In the so -called peace meetings, it claims areas that have not (yet) been conquered, such as the province where the nuclear power plant of Zaporizhzhia stands. Putin even constructs underground pipes towards Russia, while Ukraine still holds.
The West thinks that if it continues to deliver drones and grenades to Ukraine, the Russians can be forced to the negotiating table. But then they need support from Trump, not just his impatience and doubts. Partly for that reason, the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz came by in Washington, asking for extra patriot missiles.
Trump also keeps surprising. His behavior is not encouraging for Europe. Trump saves Russia flashy, and not just around the war in Ukraine. Putin naturally rubs himself in the hands.
In the jousting for the input rates, Trump calls Europeans “sewers” who are meaner than the Chinese. He also defies the judge in his own country, who forbids him from calling an idiotic trade war on his own. Hopefully he will come to sentences before July 9, when the American rate for entered goods from Europe has to go up by 50 percent.
Golden Dome impracticable, expensive and perhaps useless
The 175 billion dollars (154 billion euros) Golden Dome is also an insult to all allies of the US. The US must protect that missile weather system by tracing rockets and shooting out of the air. That plan is impracticable and probably far too low, but a nice bait for the arms industry.
At first glance, the optimistic but unfeasible ambition to shield the US against hostile rockets is quite understandable. But it was precisely the intentional vulnerability that was always the cornerstone of weapon control. The gaps in the defense (which also has Russia) guarantee that other countries can count on a retribution with nuclear weapons. Apparently the US does not think that is necessary anymore, because its own people first.
A poor consolation is that in the US people are also scratching behind the enormous and especially expensive Golden Dome. Because what does such a system have for the mocking chiefed drone attacks of Ukraine. With Operation Spinneb, Ukraine completely surprised Russia and turned warfare upside down.
The NATO summit is in The Hague at the end of June. Only then will we know for sure whether Trump has come up, and whether his requirement that Zensky will stay away with an artificial handle should be solved. The American objections to Zensky’s presence is in itself offensive. It also points to the reduced American interest in NATO.
The same applies in terms of Gaza and the US policy with regard to Israel. On the threshold of Europe, Israel and US forge plans in which the consequences for Europe apparently do not play a role. By order of the US, the mail account of the main prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has been blocked. An unprecedented procedure, which is contrary to the Hague duty to protect the ICC.
We do not even mention that the The Hague Invasion Act is still above the market. This would give the US the right to intervene militarily on Dutch territory if the ICC thinks to catch Americans on war crimes. Nevertheless, the Netherlands is honored when Trump comes to The Hague.
The fact that Trump wants to deduct his hands of the war in Ukraine to focus his attention full on China is an American law to a certain extent. But he abandons Europe and of course Ukraine. While he continues to demand that NATO members increase their defense spending to 5 percent of GDP.
Trump refuses Ukraine NATO membership, and Europe support for plans that are directed against Russia. He may be impatient, but he himself is sanctions against Putin, who continues to shoot rockets on Ukrainian cities. Russian drone attacks finds Trump no more than “worrying”.
Trump has recently become a bit more critical and he even called Putin crazy. But Zensky also always gets a wipe, because according to Trump, the Ukrainian leader has called war on himself. The special Ukraine experts from the American Security Council have also been removed and the US withdrew as chairman of the club of fifty countries that supports Ukraine with weapons.
Since the establishment of NATO, the Americans have always delivered the military commander in Europe, or the SACEUR (Supreme Allied Commander Europe). But the current commander, Christoper Cavoli, will soon be succeeded by a non-American. That chance is ultimately small, but not as unthinkable as it once was. The message of the US is clear: Europe, find out for yourself.

Defense expert Ko Colijn Has Been Providing the Dutch With Insights Into Armed Conflicts for Fifty Years. This time, the discusses how Donald Trump has much more patience with vladimir Putin than with his own European Allies.
Putin Continues to Amaze. He accepts the Gifts Given to Him from Washington and Continues to Believe in A Russian Victory in Ukraine. A Stubborn Notion, because the Russians have hardly gained any ground at the front this year and are suffering heavy losses. In the so-called peace talks, the claims territories that are not (yet) conquered, such as the province where the zaporizhia nuclear power plant is locationed. Putin is just Laying Underground Pipelines Towards Russia, While Ukraine is still resisting.
The West Thinks that if it continues to supply drones and grenades to ukraine, The Russians can be forced to the negotiating table. But then Need Trump’s support, not just his impatience and doubts. That is Why the New German Chancellor Friedrich Merz Visited Washington, Asking for Extra Patriot Missiles.
Trump also continues to Amaze. His Behavior is not Encouraging for Europe. Trump is Conspicuously Sparing Russia, and not only around the war in Ukraine. Putin is naturally rubbing his hands with this.
In The Game of Import Tariffs, Trump Calls Europeans “Scrower” Who are Meaner Than The Chinese. He also defies the Judge in his own country, who forbids him to declare an idiotic trade war on his own. Hopefully He will come to his senses before July 9, when the American Tariff for imported goods from Europe is to increase by 50 percent.
Golden Dome UNFEASIBLE, EXPENSIVE AND POSSIBLY Pointless
The $ 175 Billion (154 Billion Euros) Golden Dome is also an insult to all us allies. That missile defense system is supposed to protect the us by detecting and shooting down missiles. That plan is unfeasible and probable far too low, but a nice lure for the arms industry.
The Optimistic but unachievable Ambition to Shield the US From Enemy Missiles is QUITE UNDERTABLE AT FIRST GLANCE. But precisely the deliberate vulnerability has always leg the cornerstone or arms control. The gaps in The Defense (which Russia also has) Guarantee that other Countries can count on retaliation with nuclear weapons. Apparently, The US No Longer Finds That Necessary, Because Own People First.
A Small Consolation is that in the US, people are also scratching their heads about the huge and as special Expensive Golden Dome. Because what is the point of such a System After the Dirt-Cheap Drone Attacks from Ukraine. With Operation SpiderWeb, Ukraine Completely Surprized Russia and Turned Warfare upside down.
The Nato Summit Will Be Held in the Hague at the End of June. Only then will we know for sure Whether Trump Has Shown Up, and Whether his demand that Zensky Stay Away had to be resolved with a trick. The American Objections to Zelensky’s Presence is Inself Insulting. It also indicates the reduced american interest in NATO.
The Same Applies to Gaza and the US Policy Towards Israel. On the threshold of Europe, Israel and the US Are Fording Plans in which the Consequences for Europe Apparently Play No Role. At the Behest of the US, the email account of the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court is blocked. An unprecedented intervention, which is a contrary to the hague’s obligation to protect the ICC.
We don’t have Mention that the Hague Invasion Act is still hanging over the market. This would Grant the US The Right to Intervene Militarily on Dutch Territory If the ICC Thinks It Has CAUGHT Americans on War Crimes. Yet the Netherlands is honored when Trump comes to the hague.
That Trump Wants to withdraw His hands from the war in ukraine in order to focus his Attention fully on China is, to some extent, an american right. But He is Abandoning Europe and Course, Ukraine. While he continues to demand that nato members increase their defense spending to 5 percent or gdp.
Trump Refuses Ukraine Nato Membership, and Europe Support for Plans Aimed Against Russia. He may be impatient, but he himself Hesitates to Impose Sanctions Against Putin, WHO Continues to Fire Missiles at Ukrainian Cities. Trump Finds Russian Drone Attacks No More Than “Worrying.”
Lately, Trump Has Become a bit more critical and just called putin crazy. But Zelensky also gets a swipe, because accordance to Trump, The Ukrainian Leader Brought the War Upon himself. Also, the special ukraine experts from the American National Security Council Have Been Removed and the US Withdrew As Chairman of the Club of Fifty Countries That Supports Ukraine With Weapons.
The Americans Have Always Provited the Military Commander in Europe Since the Establishment of Nato, or the Sacor (Supreme Allied Commander Europe). But the Current Commander, Christoper Cavoli, May Soon Be Succeded by a Non-American. That chance is ultimately small, but no longer as unthinkable as it was one. The Message From the Us is Clear: Europe, Figure It Out For Yourself.
