💣 Europes 210 Billion Kill Shot: The Day the EU Crushed the TrumpPutin Fantasy With One Financial Nuke
There are days in geopolitics when someone gives a speech, signs a treaty, or launches a missile, and history shifts by a few degrees.
And then there are days like this
When Europe walked into the global vault, turned the deadbolt on 210 billion of Russian sovereign assets, and effectively told Donald Trump: You dont run the world anymore, sunshine. And you definitely dont run our books.
While America wrestles with a president who thinks tariffs are math and MRI machines are optional, the EU just executed the kind of decisive economic warfare that actually changes outcomes. No tanks. No threats. No grandstanding.
Just money weaponized with a level of precision autocrats cant counter.
And thats the whole story:
Europe finally learned how to crush Trump and Putin where it hurts most in their wallets.
