I recently wrote that Europe must create a European Alliance for Security and Defense because Trump will destroy NATO.
Some Atlanticists jumped nervously.
But I wasn’t criticizing NATO at all.
After all, as I jokingly wrote here before, it wasn’t my fellow student Moni, but I who was the first Bulgarian to enter NATO!
Because as the head of the Bulgarian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, I was the one handed the membership document for this organization! :)

I simply pointed out that Trump will deal a devastating blow to NATO, and without the U.S. de jure and without Turkey de facto in NATO, the Alliance is doomed.

And now, here’s something in that same spirit and breath.
Today, I was exchanging messages on some of our academic work with a colleague from Sweden. I told him, *“Look at what’s happening—you were lucky to join NATO in time!”*
And he replied:
- *"Strange how no one realizes the most important thing from yesterday—de facto, Trump dissolved NATO and promised to deliver the Alliance’s remains to Putin! Trump has emptied NATO of its meaning and substance. He spat on the Euro-Atlantic brotherhood and held a constructive conversation with mutual understanding in a friendly atmosphere directly with the greatest enemy of European security. What an irony of Fate—NATO, the hope and pillar of Europe, the guarantor of Euro-Atlanticism, has died, and no one noticed!"*

So, it’s time for EASD! While there’s still time to build. Because later, the time for destruction may come…
