An election poster for Socialdemokratiet hangs in the metro in Copenhagen on 21 March 2026.

Politicians are concerned with securing re-election by pleasing the voters, whereas statesmen are concerned with the future of the country.

In Denmark today, we can choose between a multitude of parties that ingratiate themselves with different groups of voters. Enhedslisten and De Radikale have long courted the Islamic ghettos. The other parties are envious and try to echo the imams as best they can. No one should believe that they do not respect and honour Allah.

All parties are concerned with pleasing the 400,000 Mohammedans, of whom 77 per cent support sharia – Islamic law.

At the same time, hatred of Trump and Jews is celebrating new triumphs in large parts of the Western world.

In London, masked men have recently set fire to some Jewish-owned ambulances as a kind of culmination of two and a half years of numerous antisemitic and pro-Hamas demonstrations, and the government has done nothing to stem this repugnant extremism. Just as successive governments have not lifted a finger to put an end to decades of Muslim rape gangs, even though it is assumed that tens of thousands of English girls, as young as 12, have been «groomed» and abused.

At the same time, a multitude of Muslims, under the leadership of London’s Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan, are staging a demonstration of power, which they call prayer, in the iconic Trafalgar Square, in the centre of London. Prime Minister Keir Starmer was asked in the House of Commons whether he approved of such expressions of anti-British extremism, and he had no answer other than that he regarded such a manifestation as entirely normal and a welcome proof of Britain’s tolerance.

In France, antisemitism has become the offer of the week. The far-left presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who is assumed to have a real chance of becoming the country’s next president, harasses Jews and Israel and expresses sympathy for Islamic extremists.

The Democratic Party in the United States has largely been taken over by Israel-haters and apologists for Islam, and should the party win the midterm elections to the Senate and the House of Representatives in November, it will probably mean the end of the close relationship between the United States and Israel, just as one must assume that the party will do everything to reopen the border to illegal immigrants.

Amid Europe’s deplorable situation, the world suddenly discovers that the mullahs in Tehran possess ballistic missiles with a range of 4,000 kilometres. It is unclear how many they have, but they had at least two, which they attempted to use to strike the British-American base on Diego Garcia. But if the Islamic madmen still have such missiles in stock, they will be able to strike London, Paris, Berlin and Rome in addition to Copenhagen and Oslo. It is also known that the Iranian regime has experimented with intercontinental missiles that will be able to strike the American east coast.

While the internal and external threats to Europe are accumulating, the leading European media continue their years-long campaign against Donald Trump, whom they simply hate. All his statements and actions are flayed and presented in the worst conceivable light.

When the history of these years is one day written, however, President Trump will appear as a statesman on a par with Winston Churchill.

What primarily characterises a statesman, as opposed to a politician, is that he thinks long-term and concentrates on averting a future that few desire.

A statesman is also prepared to fight for his objectives, regardless of what it may cost here and now. Trump’s offensive against the Iranian mullahs and the subsequent increase in the oil price may very well lead to the Democrats winning the midterm elections in November. Trump has undoubtedly realised this, but he has also understood that a missile-armed and nuclear-armed Islamic regime in Iran constitutes a mortal threat to the West – including the Europe that hates and despises him.

It is far from certain that Trump will achieve all his objectives. Neither did Winston Churchill, but he achieved the most important, namely to defeat the evil Nazi ideology.

Regardless of what happens to the United States’ 47th president, our descendants will appreciate that the European capitals are still there.
