Allies Forsaking America

Poland’s prime minister has joined the list of NATO leaders questioning whether the United States would honor its obligations if Russia were to attack a NATO member nation (Reuters, April 24, 2026). This all-too-real concern has Europe’s biggest military powers looking to bolster their militaries in the event America follows through on its threat to withdraw from the transatlantic military bloc. Reuters reported last year that officials from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the Nordic countries are involved in “informal but structured discussions” that would change the foundation of NATO’s security bloc (March 20, 2025). The level of anxiety among European leaders and officials has only increased as President Donald Trump directs his anger at NATO allies for not aiding his military efforts against Iran.

President Trump’s verbal attacks on European nations for not joining his efforts in the Persian Gulf have served to unite them against him (Politico, April 1, 2026). One European diplomat recently observed that NATO was “paralyzed,” unable to even hold meetings for fear of provoking further ire from the White House. Citing another EU diplomat, Politico reports that “Trump has ‘destroyed’ the transatlantic relationship and ‘unified’ Europe in opposition to this war.” European nations are striving harder than ever to work together—but still struggling (CNN, May 3, 2026).

Few realize that Bible prophecies foretell America’s fraying alliances; the allies—or “lovers” in the biblical language—of Israelite-descended nations like the United States will come to “despise” them (Jeremiah 3:1; 4:30; Ezekiel 23:5, 9, 22) and find them “troublesome” (Deuteronomy 28:25, 37). This will happen because the Israelite nations have turned away from God, as you can read in “Your Allies Will Forsake You!” You can also learn more about what lies ahead for the United States by reading or listening to The United States and Great Britain in Prophecy.
