Europe's belated firmness with Trump is welcome, though long overdue. Appeasement invites tyranny, whether from a king or a demagogue. A strong, unified front is the only language such men understand. History teaches that weakness is preyed upon; strength commands respect and secures liberty.

Ditching Trump, you say? Excellent! Europe awakens from its slumber. Tyrants, be they kings or presidents, must be resisted! Are we to stand idly by while liberty is bartered for trade? Remember the Stamp Act! Appeasement only emboldens the oppressor. We must stand firm against all who threaten freedom.
