Europe’s far right: Putin’s best friend?

• • Far-right parties in Europe are gaining influence but remain divided on Russia and Ukraine.


• • The AfD in Germany is surging by calling for an end to sanctions and a return to cheap Russian energy.


• • Political fragmentation among nationalists weakens the European consensus on military aid and security.

Context
The invasion of Ukraine created a rift between Western European nationalists who favor Moscow and Eastern European groups who view Russia as a threat. This division prevents a unified front against the current geopolitical status quo.

Christian Perspective
Nationalists prioritizing their own people's energy security and economic stability are acting in accordance with the duty to protect their own. The focus on globalist military entanglements often ignores the spiritual and material needs of the domestic population. True Christian leadership prioritizes the survival and flourishing of the home nation over foreign wars.

Implications
The European struggle mirrors the American fight against globalist elites who prioritize foreign conflicts over national sovereignty. Americans must reject the urge to fund endless wars that drain our resources and weaken our own borders. Protecting the American family requires an America First approach to foreign policy.

Broader Trends
The rise of nationalist movements signifies a rejection of the failed liberal democratic project and globalist integration. People are increasingly turning to leaders who defend ethnic and national identity against centralized, supranational control. This is a direct response to the decay of traditional order in the West.

Takeaway
Support leaders who prioritize national sovereignty and economic independence over foreign interventionism. Reject the globalist agenda that seeks to dissolve national boundaries and deplete domestic wealth. Stand firm in the defense of your own heritage and the stability of your nation.
