The widening fractures inside the Western alliance came into sharp focus this week, after leaked communications revealed European leaders working behind the scenes to obstruct a U.S.-backed peace proposal for Ukraine. The plan—commissioned directly by President Donald Trump and authored by geopolitical forecaster Martin Armstrong—has reportedly generated interest from Russia. Yet major European governments appear unwilling to end the conflict, even as their economies buckle under historic debt pressure.

A Peace Plan Europe Doesn’t Want
In September 2025, President Trump requested that Martin Armstrong draft a comprehensive proposal capable of bringing Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table. Armstrong later confirmed the request was “sanctioned” by the White House and that the President was fully committed to stopping the war. The resulting 200-page document, Peace Proposal to Prevent World War III, offered a path forward based on jurisdictional restructuring, neutrality guarantees, and long-term economic stabilization.
According to Armstrong, Russian officials signaled openness. European leaders did not.
A leaked call published December 7—headlined globally as “We Must Protect Volodymyr”—revealed senior EU officials strategizing on how to block Trump’s initiative. What they fear, Armstrong argues, is not geopolitical fallout but financial collapse.
Why Europe “Needs” the War
Armstrong has warned for years that Europe is positioned for a catastrophic sovereign debt implosion. With pension systems legally required to hold up to 70% government bonds, a wave of defaults would threaten both political stability and the survival of the EU itself.
“They have a choice,” Armstrong said. “They default, and then you will see people with pitchforks storming parliaments.”
Thus, war becomes the distraction—an external crisis to justify extraordinary controls, emergency measures, and the preservation of political power.
Europe, he argues, needs the conflict with Russia far more than the United States does. And if Europe refuses the peace plan, Armstrong advised the White House that America should threaten to exit NATO entirely.
A NATO Rift—and the Risk of a False Flag
This recommendation was not symbolic. Trump officials reportedly told Armstrong directly that the U.S. would not enter a war with Russia. The real long-term threat, they emphasized, comes from China.
But Armstrong also cautioned Trump about another danger: that NATO itself could attempt to trigger a wider conflict.
He referenced recent comments by an Italian admiral endorsing pre-emptive hybrid strikes on Russia—an escalation that could easily be used to sabotage peace efforts.
“This is why we must consider getting the hell out of NATO,” Armstrong warned.
China’s Quiet Preparation for World War III
While Europe resists peace, China is quietly preparing for the great-power conflict that Armstrong believes will define the next decade.
China now holds the world’s largest wheat reserve and has aggressively stockpiled food, commodities, and essential materials—moves consistent with wartime readiness. Armstrong has repeatedly argued that Beijing’s long-term economic strategy reflects expectations of a global conflict.
This is why Trump officials told him:
The United States will not go to war with Russia—the real danger is China.
Prophetic Analysis: Nations in Turmoil
The Bible describes an era in which global alliances fracture and nations rage against one another, often for reasons rooted in pride, power, and economic desperation. Europe’s internal crisis—and its willingness to risk broader conflict—resembles this prophetic landscape.
Jesus warned:
“You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars… For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.”
(Matthew 24:6–7, NASB 1977)
Armstrong’s warning of sovereign collapse echoes the prophecy of economic shaking described in James 5, where corrupt systems crumble under their own weight.
“Your gold and your silver have rusted… It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure!”
(James 5:3, NASB 1977)
If Europe is indeed suppressing peace to avoid internal collapse, the prophetic implications are impossible to ignore.
Strategic Implications
• NATO fracture is now a real possibility.
If Europe refuses Trump’s peace deal, the U.S. exit threat gains credibility.
• Russia may see diplomatic opportunity.
Moscow reportedly wants a negotiated end—something Europe appears determined to prevent.
• Europe’s economic crisis accelerates.
A sovereign debt implosion would reshape the political landscape overnight.
• China prepares for the long war.
Its stockpiling reflects strategic planning, not panic.
• 2026 Will Be Volatile.
Armstrong’s forecast from the World Economic Conference is clear: sovereign defaults, war risk, and civil unrest.

Conclusion
The Ukraine conflict may now hinge less on Russia or the United States—and more on Europe’s financial desperation. If Armstrong’s warnings are correct, the continent may be prolonging a war it cannot afford to end. The question now is whether the United States will force a change, walk away from NATO, or watch Europe slide into the crisis Armstrong has predicted for years.
