Det bliver spændende, når pizzeriaet skal dokumentere, at X antal pizzaer er solgt til take away med halv moms på hvedemel, skinke og ost og ingen moms på tomat, løg og champignon, mens Y antal pizzaer er solgt til indtag på restauranten med fuld moms på det hele.
Today, I am truly saddened.
Not because Donald Trump compared himself to Jesus Christ or insulted the Pope for speaking against the war. All of that was expected from this man.
I am saddened by the millions of Christians who have been blinded by this man’s moral depravity and have chosen to remain silent.
As the German pastor and anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said: “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
Because if you step back for a moment and look honestly, Donald Trump is not simply another flawed leader. Every leader is flawed. The issue is something deeper. It is the inversion of the values that Jesus Christ taught.
Christ preached humility. Trump elevates himself.
Christ preached truth. Trump chronically spreads lies.
Christ preached love for enemies. Trump thrives on enemies and hatred.
This is not subtle. It is not ambiguous.
And yet, millions saw this and still chose to defend it. They convinced themselves that he somehow represents “Christian values.”
But what are those Christian values?
Trump is the antithesis of Jesus’ teachings. Instead of love, he promotes hatred; instead of forgiveness, vengeance; instead of meekness, ego and self-glorification. And the list goes on.
Some argue that Trump stands for Christian values by being “pro-life,” but he is not. A truly pro-life position cannot align itself with a war criminal Vladimir Putin, who is responsible for genocide against Ukrainians. But even on the traditional abortion issue, Trump’s position is not pro-life. The only thing he said is that abortion policy should be decided by individual states rather than at the federal level. That is the extent of it. When the issue was politically advantageous, he presented himself as strongly pro-life. When it became inconvenient, his stance shifted.
The warning signs were there all along.
After becoming president, Trump began portraying himself in monarchical terms, sharing images of himself wearing a crown, surrounded by gold statues, and embracing symbols of personal glorification. Yet his followers dismissed it.
“It’s just a joke,” they said.
But words shape reality. And eventually, actions followed. A pattern emerged that increasingly ignored limits, bypassed norms, and concentrated power. And still, the defense continued.
Then came something that should have been a breaking point.
Prominent religious figures, including Paula White and Franklin Graham, began drawing comparisons between Trump and Christ. That should have triggered outrage. Because for Christians, there is no higher comparison.
And yet, there was no widespread rejection. Just silence.
And now, when imagery appears depicting Trump as Christ Himself, that silence remains.
This is no longer about politics.
It is about what happens when faith is subordinated to power.
When loyalty replaces truth.
When identity replaces conviction.
When a man begins to occupy a space that belongs to God alone.
Christianity was never meant to serve power.
Are we still following Christ?
Or have we started following something else?
How do we arm Europe quickly and build up a massive European defence Industry so we can be safe from Russia?
The answer is: We cant. Not quickly.
Sputhern Europe is still sleeping but Northern and Baltic Europe is wide awake and armring like hell. Several countries are now spending significantly more of GDP on defence than the USA. Finland is already strong and Poland is very close to being ready. The rest are on their way.
But we need more time. Five-ten years from now, we will not need to fear Russia. They will be outmatched. But right now, Russia is a real danger.
So what do we do?
There are only two options:
1) Try to keep the USA as an ally for as long as possible until we are ready. That means keep stroking Trump’s ego and humiliate ourselves Marc Rutte style. Accept extortion, insults, threats and concessions while calling Trump “Daddy” and giving him made up peace prizes.
The problem is: Even that is not going to work. Regardless of what we do, Trump and his gang will want new humiliations every week. Giving in to a ridiculously unfair trade deal did not make the USA friendlier to Europe. Doubling defence spending has not made them less hostile to Europe either. Nothing will. They hate Europe, support Russia and cant be won over. They will not be there for us, and Russia knows it.
That leaves only one option:
2) Support Ukraine like our lives depend on it because they do.
As long as Ukraine stand between Europe and Russia, we are safe. Russia can not even take Donbas from Ukraine and would be in way over their heads if they also had to fight the Nordic countries, Poland, Germany, France, Britain and Canada in Eastern Europe.
We must demand that EVERYBODY in Europe contribute. No more free-riding from Italy, Spain and France. Not a eurocent in subsidies from the EU to traitors like Hungary and Slovakia before they also join.
It is real. This is not a drill. It is time to step up.
We can easily do it and I am confident, that we will.
Glory to Ukraine and glory to Europe.

@JonasHerby God pointe, den korrekte beregning bør gå på at du investerer differencen i månedlige omkostninger i aktier. Her tror jeg også at Brovst vinder 😀

"When we were in the caves, half of everyone born was dead by the age of 30..."
-@neiltyson
We didn't get to a 75 year lifespan by eating "organic" and drinking unpasteurized milk.
We did that for thousands of years, still died by 30.
We got here BECASUE OF SCIENCE!!!
