The Gist
Trump should dump Britain and Spain as allies because they wouldn't help fight Iran, and instead team up with Argentina and Morocco who are more willing to work with America. The author argues this makes sense because Britain and Spain have weak militaries now and are run by leftist governments that oppose Trump anyway.
Conclusion
President Trump should realign U.S. foreign policy by supporting Argentina over the UK in the Falklands dispute and Morocco over Spain in North African territorial disputes, abandoning these unreliable NATO allies
Premises
- Britain and Spain refused to support U.S. and Israeli air strikes on Iran and failed to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, proving their unreliability as allies
- Argentina's President Milei is democratically elected, pro-Trump, and has been building military capabilities with U.S. equipment, making Argentina a more valuable partner
- Britain's military has severely deteriorated since 1982, with the Royal Navy shrinking from 70+ vessels to about two dozen and the army reduced by half
- Spain's leftist Prime Minister Sánchez has backed Hamas against Israel and shut down U.S. access to Spanish bases for operations against Iran
- Morocco's King Mohammed is aligned with Saudi Arabia's pro-U.S. stance against Iran and could offer alternative base locations to replace Spanish facilities
- Supporting Argentina would align all of Latin America behind Trump and gain continental backing for his bid on Greenland under his 'Donroe' doctrine
- Both Britain and Spain are now ruled by 'delusional leftist cabals' that prioritize green policies and woke ideology over strategic national interests
Assumptions
- Military alliance value should be measured primarily by willingness to support U.S. military operations
- Realpolitik considerations should override historical alliance relationships
- Democratic legitimacy (Milei's elections) makes Argentina more reliable than parliamentary allies
- Military capability determines alliance value more than shared democratic values or institutions
- Regional alignment in the Western Hemisphere is more strategically valuable than transatlantic partnerships
- Ideological opposition to Trump's policies makes allies fundamentally unreliable
