Donald Trump is healing Europe. In this respect, he has achieved more than Putin. With his invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the bandit from Russia, who had (has?) countless political friends and supporters in Germany, merely caused a reaction from EU Europeans that manifested itself in a horrified cry: Ugh, you don't do that! The horrified people then lived in peace for three years and got used to the fact that the invaded people on their continent were being killed every day. This attitude was irredeemable, as EU Europeans usually are.
Today, however, after Donald T. became president, EU Europeans (and this is happening even in Germany) are beginning to understand the world they live in. This learning process is still disturbed by moralizing. Let's admit it: it is not a sign of a sophisticated ability to use one's intellect to berate someone like Trump for representing one's own country's interests while loudly repeating every day that one's own interests should be protected. Nevertheless, the process of turning to reality is underway.
However, it will only become clear that the Europeans have understood this world when they start to dismantle their welfare state. Hopefully they will soon really feel this need. In Germany, however, we are still in the process of doing the exact opposite with the new government, namely with debt.
Donald Trump could therefore not only bring about the EU-Europeans' foreign policy learning process. He will hopefully make them see their own countries for what they are: Societies that allow themselves far too much social state security at far too high a cost and are therefore sinking.
Behind this realization lies the banal truth that the dead are the safest.
