Europe is falling faster than people think

 

   I snagged this off farcebook(Preloaded scheduler)

Europe is having a lot of problems right now and an identity crisis is part of it, they don't know who they are any more.  I believe that several countries will be Islamic caliphates within 20 years.

Europe fell faster than most people realize.

Not over years.

Not even over months.

In some cases—hours.

The last time a serious threat came from the east, Europe didn’t slowly crumble.

It collapsed at lightning speed.

And it didn’t happen because Europeans were weak.

It happened because they were hesitant, divided, and unprepared to respond with force when force was required.

Let’s remember what actually happened.

When Nazi Germany moved, it didn’t wait for consensus.

It didn’t care about public opinion.

It didn’t pause for moral debates.

It moved fast, hard, and with coordination Europe wasn’t ready for.

Here’s how quickly countries fell:

• Denmark – 6 hours

• Luxembourg – 1 day

• Netherlands – 5 days

• Belgium – 18 days

• France – 6 weeks

• Norway – Weeks

• Poland – Overrun in ~1 month

• Yugoslavia – 11 days

• Greece – About 1 month

These were modern societies.

Educated populations.

Established governments and standing armies.

They didn’t fall because they lacked culture or intelligence.

They fell because they underestimated the threat and hesitated to respond decisively.

Modern wars are often lost before the public realizes they’ve begun.

The uncomfortable parallel today

Much of modern Europe has embraced ideologies that prioritize comfort over strength, consensus over decisiveness, and moral signaling over hard power.

Policies shaped by woke, hyper-liberal frameworks often struggle with:

• The idea of national borders worth defending

• The moral legitimacy of force

• Rapid, unified military action

• A population mentally prepared for sacrifice

These ideologies don’t just influence culture they influence policy, military readiness, and public will.

And history is clear on one point:

Hesitation is an invitation.

Civilian disarmament matters more than people admit

Another hard lesson from history and from modern conflict zones:

When the state is the only entity with force, and that state hesitates or collapses, the population is left exposed.

Across much of Europe:

• Civilian firearm ownership is heavily restricted

• Self-defense laws are narrow or discouraged

• The idea of armed citizens is viewed as dangerous or outdated

But WWII, Eastern Europe, and modern resistance movements all show the same reality:

An armed population complicates occupation.

An unarmed population depends entirely on the state and the state can fail.

This isn’t about encouraging violence.

It’s about deterrence, resilience, and psychological resistance.

Occupation thrives where resistance is impossible.

Europe learned the hard way that standing alone doesn’t work.

That’s why NATO exists.

Not as a symbolic alliance.

Not as a diplomatic club.

But as a collective survival agreement.

And the part many people avoid saying out loud:

The United States is the backbone of NATO.

• Largest military force

• Global logistics and supply chains

• Intelligence dominance

• Nuclear deterrence

• Industrial capacity to sustain prolonged war

Without the U.S., NATO is dramatically weaker—not because Europe is incapable, but because modern war is about scale, speed, and sustained pressure.

The warning history gives us

If Russia or any aggressive expansionist power were to move west without strong, immediate U.S. backing, history suggests something uncomfortable:

Not that Europe would fall overnight.

But that things could unravel far faster than people expect.

Just like before.

Not because Europeans are weak

But because division, ideological paralysis, and underestimating intent are deadly flaws.

WWII didn’t start with tanks in Paris.

It started with:

• Political hesitation

• Moral confusion

• Belief that “it won’t happen here”

• Faith that diplomacy alone would restrain ambition

By the time clarity arrived, many countries were already lost.

This isn’t about fear.

It’s about memory.

History doesn’t repeat itself exactly, but it rhymes.

And the price of forgetting is always higher than the cost of preparedness.

Europe survived last time because the Allies stood together.

And at the center of that alliance was the United States.

That wasn’t accidental.

It was decisive.

Ignoring that lesson would be the most dangerous mistake of all.
