The cracks in the NATO alliance continue to appear to be getting larger after more statements and posts by Donald Trump:

US Will Not Provide Aid to Protect Those That Refused to Support Iran Operation – Trump

31 March 2026
The United States will no longer provide assistance to protect the interests of those countries that refused to support the military operation against Iran, US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday.

“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!” Trump said on Truth Social. https://sputnikglobe.com/20260331/us-will-not-provide-aid-to-protect-those-that-refused-to-support-iran-operation—trump-1123925657.html

The US president “essentially views NATO as an obsolete relic of the Cold War,” and allies’ refusal to help in Iran demonstrates that the US-European defense dynamic as it has existed since the late 1940s “is no longer necessary,” says Joe Siracusa, dean of Global Futures at Australia’s Curtin University.

With the North Atlantic alliance losing its “primary purpose” of keeping “the Soviets out of Europe and…Germany in check” after 1991, the Iran crisis has introduced a new dimension, with the US “enter[ing] a war that is incredibly difficult to justify,” not bothering to notify its allies, and then “turn[ing] around asking for help once the situation starts to spiral.”data-id=”1123912696″ data-url=”https://sputnikglobe.com/20260328/trumps-skepticism-shook-nato-iran-war-may-shatter-it-1123912696.html?share-block=1123912816″ data-title=”With the North Atlantic alliance losing its “primary purpose” of keeping “the Soviets out of Europe and…Germany in check” after 1991, the Iran crisis has introduced a new dimension, with the US “enter[ing] a war that is incredibly difficult to justify,” not bothering to notify its allies, and then “turn[ing] around asking for help once the situation starts to spiral.””

Washington “wants NATO naval forces to clear the Strait of Hormuz, which is a nearly impossible task while active fighting is going on,” Siracusa explains. Not to mention the fact that Iran posed no “imminent threat” to the alliance, and the Europeans know it. https://sputnikglobe.com/20260328/trumps-skepticism-shook-nato-iran-war-may-shatter-it-1123912696.html

Trump tells Europe ‘get your own oil,’ Iran hits oil tanker off Dubai

March 31, 2026

President Trump took to social media early Tuesday advising European countries that have shortages because of the Strait of Hormuz blockade, but haven’t aided the U.S. in the war, to “get your own oil!”

His comments came after a night of continued fighting. Iran attacked and set on fire a massive Kuwaiti oil tanker off Dubai overnight, raising concerns about leakage, but on Tuesday city officials said the blaze had been extinguished “with no oil spill occurring or any injuries recorded.”

Early Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Defense said it was defending the country against missiles and drones fired by Iran. https://www.npr.org/2026/03/31/nx-s1-5766991/iran-war-lebanon-israel-dubai-trump-oil-europe

Over a year ago, I had the following in my book free eBook Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies?:

There is also something referred to as the “law of unintended consequences.” There are consequences for the USA, Europe, and elsewhere that have and will occur because of Donald Trump’s statements and actions. …

The Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2)—some statements by Donald Trump are pushing “friends” (NATO allies) into being enemies. …

Historically, many powerful civilizations were destroyed through economic, military, health and moral decline. Will alliances like NATO remain helpful through these difficulties? At least 22 predictions/warnings I made about the first Donald Trump Administration were totally or at least partially fulfilled during his first term in office. … (p. 6)

The Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2)—some statements by Donald Trump are pushing “friends” (NATO allies) into being enemies. … (pp. 48-49)

31 And forces shall be mustered by him

The King of the North will deceitfully proclaim “peace and safety” while plotting for the sudden destruction of those opposing him (1 Thessalonians 5:2–3). He will destroy the mighty American-British alliance.

Because of not accepting and understanding biblical prophecies, many political and other leaders will be hoping for and believing in a false peace. The sudden destruction to come is likely to include a nuclear or other high tech attack, and could possibly happen in conjunction with a NATO training or other exercise that would catch the USA and its Anglo-Saxon-Celtic allies off guard. Other nations are likely to also be involved.

The USA will be attacked by “friends” consistent with the following:

1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!

How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!

The princess among the provinces Has become a slave!

2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.

All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. cf. Lamentations 1:1-2).

Notice the one who was “great among the nations” will be conquered by friends, who will become enemies.

The USA was prophesied to be “great” in Genesis 48:19 and is considered by international sources to be great among the nations of the world today.

The USA is repeatedly pushing its NATO allies in Europe away.

UPDATE 04/01/26. Notice also the following:

Mr. Trump has told Britain’s Telegraph newspaper he could attempt to pull the U.S. out of the transatlantic NATO alliance it’s led for more than seven decades, as he vents frustration at America’s closest allies for declining to join the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/iran-war-trump-nato-tehran-threatens-us-tech-companies-strait-of-hormuz/

Statements and threats are getting the Europeans to conclude that they can no longer rely on the USA. A reader from Italy sent me a link in Italian earlier this month (https://www.maurizioblondet.it/un-genocida-minaccia-roma-di-atomica/) that I machine-translated into English. Here are excerpts of that translation:

22 March 2026

The chaos the US is sowing, it seems, always has a common denominator. The crisis with Ukraine, ultimately, from the US’s point of view, was nothing more than the most damaging thing possible for Europe and its economy. And now that the EU has managed to rebalance energy sources by building regasification plants, a disaster has erupted, preventing LNG from flowing from the Gulf countries.

What, exactly, needs to happen before we understand that the chaos sown by the US is primarily intended to undermine Europe and its economy? Every time the European Union attempts to build an independent corridor—energy or trade—something else happens: just days before the treaty with Mercosur is finally signed, after twenty-six years of negotiations, the attack on Venezuela begins, with all its attendant political instability and risks to supplies of raw materials and agri-food from South America.

Now that the EU has established a relatively stable flow of gas and energy investments to and from the Middle East, as part of the new India-Middle East-Europe corridors, disaster is unfolding right there, with yet another crisis threatening shipping routes, insurance, risk premiums, and industrial plans based on predictable energy prices. …

The sequence is always the same: every space in which Europe attempts to build strategic autonomy—be it in gas, Latin American raw materials, or Asian markets—is immediately surrounded by a higher level of geopolitical entropy, in which Washington carves out the role of indispensable policeman and the EU that of damaged but obedient client. Through a series of “coincidences,” the practical result is that Europeans pay the price in inflation, slowing exports, energy volatility, and insurance costs, while the US maintains control over the keys to the chaos and, by extension, our economic choices.

If American geostrategic policy seems chaotic to you, it’s only because you’re looking at it the wrong way …

The only way out for Europe is to stop trying to become a poor copy of the United States. We’re fed up with intellectuals and think tanks Pavlovianly touting a “United States of Europe” as a panacea, just as the United States of America is demonstrating live worldwide what an empire becomes when it enters a pathological phase: toxic polarization, out-of-control digital oligopolies, militarism as industrial policy, reserve currency used as a cudgel. …

The next step is to acknowledge that the US is no longer a “friend,” nor even just a vocal competitor. From a European perspective, the United States has become  an enemy  in the technical sense of the term: a power pursuing economic, energy, and military policies that are structurally hostile to the survival of European industry and autonomy, from the de facto sabotage of our energy corridors to the constant pressure to buy their weapons, technological standards, and cultural narrative. 

This has been clear in many Berlin palaces for years, where the US is bluntly described as a “military ally but an economic and financial enemy.” The problem is that in Brussels and the Latin capitals, they continue to pretend that these are merely misunderstandings between partners.

It’s time to call a spade a spade: Washington is pursuing a coherent plan to erode Europe’s capacity to act as an autonomous pole, and the forced “Americanization” of our cultural and media elites is an integral part of this process, because a continent that thinks in American terms is already half-colonized without the need for Marines.

Wow!

Yes, there are Europeans who believe that the USA is intentionally pursuing policies to push Europe down.

More and more in Europe are concluding that they must take their own military steps.

This will not end well for the USA per Daniel 11:39, and is consistent with Lamentations 1:1-2.

While Europe publicly is still supportive of NATO, in the end Europe will betray the NATO members of the USA, Canada, and UK.

USA to leave NATO?

There are bills being promoted by US politicians in both the US Senate and the US House of Representatives to have the USA leave NATO alliance by 2027. There is also the new National Security Strategy report from the Trump Administration which looks to change NATO. Europe is offended, but is preparing for this to take place. How so? By taking economic (expanding trade relations) and military (by increased spending and added troops) steps And it is the military preparations by Europe that should most concern the United States. Dr. Thiel points out how the fragmented state of the European Union will lead to the reorganization of Europe (Revelation 17:12-13) which will ultimately bring about the rise of the prophesied King of the North (Daniel 11:39-43). Could a blitzkrieg type of an attack under the guise of a NATO-type exercise lead to the conquering of the USA? Scriptures quoted by Dr. Thiel point out that when this reorganization of Europe takes place the destruction and enslavement of the United States of America, the nation with the strongest fortresses, is not far behind. Daniel 8:23 tells us this King of the North understands “sinister schemes”. Could one of those sinister schemes be the destruction of the United States? Are there other scriptures that confirm this destruction? Who is Assyria? Who is Samaria? Who is Ephraim? The answer is surprising but makes clear many scriptures that were sealed until the time of the end. The answer to the identity of Assyria, Samaria and Ephraim as referred to by the prophets Isaiah and Hosea is provided by Dr. Thiel in this video. Watch this video as Dr. Thiel shines the light of Biblical prophecy on the future of the United States of America and its British descended allies. Listen as Dr. Thiel explains the scriptures that prophesy the end of the United States by its friends, such as Lamentations 1:1-2. The time is getting closer.

Here is a link to our video: USA to leave NATO?

The US has been pushing NATO allies away.

This will not only not end end well for the USA (Daniel 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-11), it will end up badly for even many Muslim countries (cf. Daniel 11:40-43), and ultimately, even Europe itself (cf. Daniel 11:45; Revelation 17:14).
