“美国得不到的支持无异于背叛,”奈尔·加德纳说道

随着唐纳德·特朗普总统持续对北约欧洲盟友在伊朗战争中未提供协助表达愤怒,他明确表示,这些国家的行为需要付出代价。
在战争期间及停火后的数周内,总统不仅以言辞回击,还对其中几个国家采取了明确的行动。
德国
周六,特朗普表示,在德国领导人诋毁美国阻止伊朗政权发展核武器的努力后,他将从德国撤出的美军人数将超过五角大楼最初宣布的5000人。

一天前,他在谈及德国时表示:“我们会大幅削减驻军,削减幅度将远超5000人。”此前,在德国总理弗里德里希·默茨称伊朗政权“羞辱”了特朗普后,特朗普政府已宣布将在德国裁减5000名驻军。
显然是陷入了恐慌,默茨在周日收回了他对特朗普及其伊朗战略的抨击。这位总理在X平台上写道:“美国过去是、未来也将仍是德国在北大西洋联盟中最重要的合作伙伴。我们有着共同的目标:绝不能让伊朗获得核武器。”
特朗普在上调针对德国的撤军规模之际,还表态将缩减美军在西班牙和意大利的地面驻军,因为这两个国家未能在对伊朗战争中协助美国。总统对西欧国家的愤怒已酝酿数周,可能会导致北大西洋公约组织(北约)发生深刻变革。

传统基金会玛格丽特·撒切尔自由中心主任奈尔·加德纳对福克斯新闻数字频道表示:“美国得不到的支持无异于背叛。我认为,面对主要欧洲盟友的这种缺位,总统有权利感到愤怒。”
他说道:“欧洲对伊朗政权存在根深蒂固的文化绥靖倾向,这可以追溯到数十年前,而且他们完全不愿承认伊朗拥有核武器会带来的巨大危险。欧洲领导人正沿着这条危险的道路梦游般走向毁灭。”
特朗普对北约的弱点判断正确——真正的问题是美国该如何补救
“美国得不到的支持恰恰反映出欧洲已经丧失了道德指南针。伊朗是一个种族灭绝政权,扬言要将以色列从地图上抹去。”他指出,这个伊斯兰共和国已杀害了大量本国民众。
曾担任玛格丽特·撒切尔夫人顾问的加德纳说道:“如果你听听欧洲领导人的言论,会觉得美国才是这里的反派。”
默茨上周在马尔斯贝格发表讲话时批评美国对伊朗的政策,称华盛顿正被“伊朗领导层羞辱”,并希望冲突“尽快结束”。
针对默茨的言论,加德纳表示:“这类言论实际上助长了伊朗独裁政权的宣传。在战争时期,一位德国总理竟会发表此类言论,这令人震惊……德国总理正在给伊朗政权打气,这太令人作呕了。”
福克斯新闻数字频道向默茨的发言人斯特凡·科内利乌斯发送的多条媒体问询均未得到回复。

西班牙与意大利
在宣布从德国撤军之前,在被问及是否会削减美军在西班牙和意大利的驻军时,特朗普回应道:“我的意思是,他们根本就没站在我们这边。没错,大概率会这么做……是的,我可能会这么做……意大利对我们没有任何帮助。西班牙的表现糟透了,绝对糟透了。”
西班牙社会党首相佩德罗·桑切斯对美国和以色列针对伊朗政权的军事行动持强硬反对立场,禁止美国使用其境内的军事基地为飞机加油或进行军事行动准备。他谴责该军事行动非法,却对伊朗政权杀害数千名抗议者以及加速研发弹道导弹、获取武器级高浓缩铀的行径保持沉默。
加德纳说道:“西班牙的表现无疑是最差的。至少德国和意大利还允许使用本国基地。西班牙却完全拒绝配合这场战争。”
特朗普上月在接受《晚邮报》采访时谈及意大利总理焦尔吉娅·梅洛尼:“我对她感到震惊。我原以为她有勇气,但我错了。”
作为欧洲问题专家,加德纳认为,主要西欧国家与美国在维护西方文明、自由、民主和价值观的理念上存在巨大鸿沟。

“欧洲已经丧失了战斗的能力和意愿。美国显然愿意为捍卫西方文明和自由世界而战。欧洲大部分地区已经放弃了这一目标,尤其是西欧。这是一种绥靖心态,与软弱、和平主义交织在一起,而且欧洲领导人越来越接受大规模移民和伊斯兰化。”
他补充道:“过去20年里,欧洲已经发生了翻天覆地的变化,面目全非,但欧洲的执政精英们似乎对此习以为常,只有少数例外。”
法国与英国
特朗普在3月抨击了英国和法国在对伊朗战争中的立场。
“法国不会让载有军事补给、飞往以色列的飞机飞越其领空,”特朗普在Truth Social平台上写道。
“在‘伊朗屠夫’被成功消灭这件事上,法国一直非常不配合!美国会记住这一点!”他写道。

特朗普还写道:“所有因霍尔木兹海峡问题无法获得航空燃油的国家,比如英国,拒绝参与对伊朗的定点清除行动,我给你们一个建议。”
“第一,从美国购买,我们储量充足;第二,鼓起迟来的勇气,前往海峡,直接‘夺取’燃油。”
“你们得开始学习如何自保了,美国不会再帮你们了,就像你们当初没有帮我们一样。伊朗已经基本上被打垮了,最难的部分已经完成。去你们自己拿石油吧!”

加德纳表示,这场伊朗战争危机表明欧洲已经投降。西欧大国已经接受了“失败主义”,并且“他们不在乎,就是这么简单。后代将不得不为欧洲目前选择的道路付出代价”,他说道。

Trump ‘right to be outraged’ by Europe’s betrayal on Iran, says former Thatcher advisor
May 6, 2026 2:49pm EDT / Fox News
‘The lack of support for the United States has been nothing less than treacherous,’ says Nile Gardiner
By Benjamin Weinthal
As President Donald Trump continues to express anger at NATO European allies for their lack of help in the war with Iran, he’s making clear their behavior comes at a cost.
In the weeks during the war and since the ceasefire, the president has hit back not just with words but with definitive actions against several of those countries.
Germany
On Saturday, Trump said that he would withdraw more than the initial 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany as stated by the Pentagon, after Berlin’s leader denigrated the American effort to stop Iran’s regime from building a nuclear weapon.

A day earlier he said about Germany that “We’re gonna cut way down. We’re cutting a lot further than 5,000.” The Trump administration previously announced a contraction of 5,000 troops in Germany after the country’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Iran’s regime “humiliated” Trump.
In an apparent state of panic, Merz walked back his attack on Trump and his Iran strategy on Sunday. The chancellor wrote on X: “The United States is and will remain Germany‘s most important partner in the North Atlantic Alliance. We share a common goal: Iran must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons.”
Trump ratcheted up his troop reduction number against Germany amid his comments about downsizing U.S. boots on the ground in Spain and Italy because they failed to aid America in the war against Iran. The president’s anger at Western European countries has been simmering for weeks and could lead to profound changes in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
TRUMP CRITICIZES SPAIN AMID IRAN, NATO RIFT AS PM SANCHEZ FACES QUESTIONS OVER POLITICAL MOTIVES
Nile Gardiner, the director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital, “The lack of support for the United States has been nothing less than treacherous. I think the president has the right to be outraged by the lack of support from key European allies.”

He said, “There is a very deep-seated cultural appeasement in Europe toward the Iranian regime that goes back many decades, and a flat-out refusal to accept the reality of the immense dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran. European leaders are sleepwalking toward destruction with this perilous path they have taken.
TRUMP IS RIGHT ABOUT NATO’S WEAKNESS — THE REAL QUESTION IS HOW DOES AMERICA FIX IT
“The lack of support for the United States is how far Europe has gone toward losing its moral compass. Iran is a genocidal regime that threatens to wipe Israel off the map.” He noted that the Islamic Republic has killed huge numbers of its population.
Gardiner, a former advisor to Lady Margaret Thatcher said, “If you listen to European leaders, it’s as if the U.S. is the villain here.”
Merz, speaking last week in Marsberg, criticized the U.S. approach to Iran, saying Washington was being “humiliated by the Iranian leadership” and expressing hope the conflict would end “as quickly as possible.”
Gardiner said of Merz’s remarks, “Comments like these actually help the propaganda of the Iranian dictatorship. It is astonishing that a German chancellor would make these kinds of remarks at a time of war… and the German chancellor is giving comfort to the Iranian regime. It is disgusting.”
Numerous Fox News Digital press queries sent to Merz’s spokesman Stefan Kornelius were not returned.

Spain and Italy
Before his announcement on the troop withdrawal from Germany, and in response to a question about reducing U.S. troops in Spain and Italy, Trump responded, “I mean, they haven’t been exactly on board. Yeah, probably. Yeah, I probably will… Italy has not been of any help to us. And Spain has been horrible. Absolutely horrible.”
Spain’s socialist prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has taken a belligerent stand toward the U.S. and Israeli military campaign against the Iranian regime, forbidding the U.S. from using its military bases in Spain to refuel aircraft or prepare for military action. He has decried the campaign as illegal while staying quiet on the regime’s murder of thousands of protesters and its increased drive to produce ballistic missiles and acquire nuclear weapons-grade enriched uranium.
Gardiner said, “The Spanish have been the worst by a long way. At least the Germans and Italy have allowed the use of its own bases. The Spanish have refused to cooperate in any way with the war.”
Trump told the Italian daily Corriere della Sera last month about the country’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, “I’m shocked at her. I thought she had courage, but I was wrong.”
The Europe expert, Gardiner, sees a wide gulf between how mainly Western European countries and the United States view the preservation of Western civilization, freedom, democracy and liberty.

“Europe has lost both its ability and its will to fight. The United States is clearly willing to fight to defend Western civilization and the free world. Much of Europe has given up on this, especially Western Europe. It is an appeasement mindset cojoined with weakness and pacifism and also a growing acceptance by European leaders of mass migration and Islamification.”
He added, “Europe has fundamentally changed over the last 20 years beyond recognition, and yet Europe’s ruling elites accept it seemingly as a fact, with some notable exceptions.”
France and the U.K.
Trump took the United Kingdom and France in March to task for their postion on the war against Iran.
“The Country of France wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“France has been VERY UNHELPFUL with respect to the ‘Butcher of Iran,’ who has been successfully eliminated! The U.S.A. will REMEMBER!!!,” he wrote.

Trump also wrote, “All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you.”
“Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.”
“You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil!”

Gardiner said the crisis over the Iran war shows that Europe has surrendered. The big Western Europeans have embraced “defeatism,” and “they do not care. It is as simple as that. And future generations will have to pay the price for the course Europe is taking now,” he said.
