The REAL Plan - Make Europe and NATO Vulnerable to Russian Hybrid Attack!

Silicon Bites Ep326 | 2026-04-26 | This is Trump’s real plan. Suck weapons out of Europe, leaving it vulnerable to Russia. If you were Vladimir Putin, and you could design the ideal American foreign policy — not overtly pro-Russian, but functionally pro-Russian — what would it look like? If Trump were a Russian asset, what would he be doing differently than he is already doing? Very little, I’d wager. He would start multiple wars that drain American weapons stockpiles and wreck their reputation internationally – among allies and adversaries. He would burn through Patriot interceptors — the one system that both Ukraine and NATO's eastern flank depend on to survive. He would delay weapons deliveries to the Baltic states and Scandinavia — the countries that border Russia. He would pressure European allies to send their own air defences to the Middle East, and maritime military resources, leaving the continent exposed. He would halt new military aid to Ukraine. He would lift sanctions on Russian oil. He would threaten to leave NATO and eject other members from the alliance. He would invite Putin to a summit at a luxury resort and try to normalise Russia’s genocidal regime on the world stage. He would punish any ally that refused to cooperate and stir up conflict around the world between allies and adversaries. He would do all of this while calling NATO "useless" and European allies "cowards." Confused and distracted, depleted and disoriented, Europe would be rendered incapable of defending itself when Russia does, finally, choose to strike. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.
