NATO Chief Admits Europe Can't Defend Itself, Hunter Biden Calls Daughter's Feelings "Irrelevant"

00:09
Hey Patriots, well NATO's boss just admitted out loud that Europe can't defend itself without us. Exactly what Trump's been saying for decades. Today is Friday, January 30th, and this is O'Connor's Quick Strike, I'm John O'Connor. Three stories the legacy media won't cover or will completely twist beyond recognition delivered in about 20 minutes. No fluff, no BS, no filler, just the unvarnished truth peppered with my own take on what's really going on. Here's what we're hitting today. First,

00:39
NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta admits Europe is helpless without American military might, telling them to keep dreaming if they think otherwise. Validates every Trump call out on NATO deadbeats and burden-sharing failures. Second, Hunter Biden's lawyers argue in court this week that his seven-year-old daughter's feelings are irrelevant in their child support battle. Biden family moral rot on full display, dodging any real relationship while the media

01:08
stay silent. Third, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer cozies up to Xi Jinping in Beijing yesterday with new strategic partnerships and visa handouts, right as Trump stands firm against the Chinese Communist Party and demands real accountability from allies. If you want the real state of the world, not the fantasy version from the networks, you're in the right place. So let's get into it. On Monday,

01:36
NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta stood in front of European Parliament lawmakers in Brussels and said something that would make every American first patriot smile from ear to ear. He told them and I quote, if anyone thinks here that the European Union or Europe as a whole can defend itself without the US, keep on dreaming. You can't, we can't, we need each other. There it is, Patriots.

02:02
The head of NATO just admitted that Europe is completely dependent on American military power. You know who's been saying this for decades? Donald J. Trump. Since the 1980s, Trump has been saying Europe is free-loading off American taxpayers. That NATO is obsolete unless our allies step up. And what did the legacy media call him? A fool. Putin's puppet. Well guess what? Ruda just proved Trump was right all along.

02:31
Ruda told EU lawmakers that if Europe wants to defend itself without America, they need to spend 10 % of GDP on defense. 10%. Right now NATO's goal is just 5 % and most countries aren't even hitting that. He said Europe would need to build up your own nuclear capability that costs billions and billions of euros. Then he dropped this. You would lose the ultimate guarantor of our freedom.

02:59
which is the US nuclear umbrella. So, hey, good luck. Good luck? He literally told them good luck trying to defend yourselves. Now think about the timing of this, Patriots. Ruda just gave this speech just days after Trump threatened tariffs on European countries that opposed his Greenland strategy. Trump is telling Europe, you wanna lecture me? You want to tell me how to run American foreign policy? Fine.

03:26
But don't come crying when I remind you that you can't even defend yourselves. And what was Europe's response? France, through their new defense commissioner, immediately pushed back. He posted on X. No, dear Mark Ruta, Europeans can and must take charge of their own security. Oh, really? Then do it. Stop talking about it and do it. Build your own nuclear arsenal. Fund your own military. Patrol your own seas. Defend your own borders.

03:56
But you won't, because it's expensive and you'd rather spend money on socialist welfare programs and green energy fantasies than on the military that actually protects you. For decades, since World War II, America has been Europe's bodyguard. We've stationed 100,000 troops there. We've protected them from the Soviet Union, then Russia. We have footed the bill so they didn't have to. And what did Europe do? They built bloated welfare states.

04:26
They lectured us about health care and climate change and gun control. They looked down their noses at America while living under the protection of American soldiers. Trump said, pay your fair share or we're reconsidering this arrangement. And they called him a Russian asset. But now NATO's own leader admits Trump was right. Let me ask you something, Patriots. Why should American taxpayers fund Europe's defense while they criticize our country?

04:54
Why should we pay for their protection while they spend money on things we can't even afford here at home? The answer is we shouldn't and Trump knows it. Trump isn't saying abandon NATO. He's saying make it fair and it's working. Since Trump started pushing more countries are hitting defense targets than ever before. Poland is spending over 4%. Why? Because Trump made it clear America won't be Europe's piggy bank forever.

05:24
This is called leadership patriots, standing up for American interests and demanding that our allies carry their weight. America has been the world's protector for too long while getting nothing but criticism in return. Trump is changing that, and even NATO's own leadership is finally admitting it. All right, next story. And patriots, this one makes my blood boil.

05:50
On Tuesday, Hunter Biden's lawyers filed a motion in Arkansas court arguing that his seven year old daughter's feelings are irrelevant and immaterial, that he has no legal obligation to have a relationship with her, that the court can't hold him in contempt for ghosting a little girl. Let me back up and give you the full story because this is the Biden family in a nutshell. Hunter Biden has a daughter, Navy Joan Roberts, with London Roberts.

06:18
A woman he met at a strip club in Washington, D.C. back in 2018. Hunter denied she was even his daughter until a court forced him to take a DNA test in 2019. The test proved paternity. He lost. Fast forward to 2023, Hunter wanted his child support payments reduced. So he made a deal. He'd give Navy Joan paintings he created, paintings she could select, because supposedly his art was

06:47
valuable since his daddy was president. The idea was she'd pick paintings she liked, he'd give them to her, and they'd bond over their shared love of art. That's what the agreement said. And here's the heartbreaking part, Patriots. London showed up unannounced at one of Hunter's depositions and gave him artwork that Navy Joan had created for him. A simple, pure act of love from a little girl to her father. And it worked. Briefly.

07:16
Hunter started calling her. They had scheduled phone calls. They began to bond. The little girl was thrilled. She'd been telling people she desperately longed for, talked about, and dreamed of a relationship with her father. She'd even said, and this will break your heart, that she could not wait to get to heaven so she could be with dad because her dad lives far away and is really, really busy. A five-year-old child thinking she has to die to spend time with her father.

07:46
But then in 2024, London published a memoir about her relationship with Hunter. The book called Out of the Shadows, didn't trash him, didn't disparage him, just told her story. And Hunter's response? He ghosted Navy Joan, cut off all contact, stopped the phone calls, stopped everything, just vanished from her life. Suddenly and without warning or explanation, according to the court filing,

08:14
Hunter abandoned his five-year-old daughter. This caused Navy Joan emotional trauma, the filing says. She went to a family wedding and realized that her dad would not walk her down the aisle or dance with her at her own wedding reception. A little girl thinking about her future wedding and realizing her father won't be there. So on January 13th, London filed a motion to reopen the 2019 paternity case. She's asking the court to hold Hunter in contempt.

08:43
to jail him in the Independence County Detention Center as a civil penalty until he purges his contempt by complying with the court's orders. She wants the court to force Hunter to communicate with his child. And what was Hunter's response? Tuesday, this week, his lawyers filed a motion to dismiss everything. Their argument? The child's feelings don't matter. I'm not making this up, Patriots. Hunter's lawyer, Davis Langdon, wrote,

09:12
The averments regarding the child's emotional state, her relationship with the defendant, and their communications and bonding are not relevant to contempt or modification of child support. Not relevant? A seven-year-old girl's emotional trauma from being abandoned by her father, not relevant? The lawyer argues that because the court order doesn't explicitly say Hunter has to talk to or visit Navy Joan, his silence is not punishable by contempt.

09:42
In other words, sure, I ghosted my daughter. Sure, she's heartbroken, but the court didn't specifically order me to be a decent human being, so there's nothing you can do about it. That's the Biden family, Patriots. That's who they are. Now, here's what makes this even more disgusting. Hunter has four other children. They all live lifestyles above that of the average American, according to the filing. His son with his current wife, Hunter dotes on him, posts about him.

10:12
The whole Biden family treats him like royalty. But Navy Joan? She doesn't even exist to them. Joe Biden, when he was president, refused to even acknowledge her as his granddaughter. The White House had Christmas stockings for all the Biden grandchildren except Navy Joan. Think about that. The party of compassion, the family that preaches about empathy and caring for children, they pretended a little girl didn't exist because acknowledging her would be politically inconvenient.

10:42
And now Hunter, who was pardoned by his daddy for felony gun convictions and tax evasion, is in court arguing that his daughter's feelings are irrelevant. Here's another sick detail. The paintings Hunter was supposed to give her? He did send some, but not the ones she selected. He sent the ones he chose, which violates the agreement. Why? Because his paintings were only valuable when Joe was president. Now that Joe's out of office, they are worthless.

11:12
Nobody wants to buy Hunter Biden's scam art anymore. So Hunter picked the worst paintings, the ones nobody would want to buy, and sent those instead of letting his daughter pick the ones she wanted. Even in keeping the letter of the agreement, he violated the spirit of it. And you know what the most heartbreaking part is? According to the court filing, Navy Joan defends the reputation of her grandfather, former President Joe Biden, against bullies.

11:41
She defends Joe Biden, the man who won't acknowledge she exists, the man who excluded her from family Christmas, the man who pardoned her father for felonies, but won't even say her name. And she defends him against bullies. That little girl has more character and grace than the entire Biden family combined. London's lawyers wrote, it is axiomatic that no one can force Mr. Biden into being a good dad, but this court...

12:09
can make it so that Navy Joan has at least the same level of support as her younger half-brother. They are not even asking for him to be a father, just to give her the same financial support as the other kids. And Hunter's fighting that. Let me ask you something, Patriots. What kind of man abandons his daughter? What kind of man argues in court that her emotional pain is irrelevant?

12:36
What kind of family pretends a seven-year-old doesn't exist? The Bidens are always talking about values, about compassion, about caring for children. Joe Biden campaigned on restoring the soul of America, but they can't even acknowledge their own granddaughter. Hunter Biden is a deadbeat. He denied Navy Joan existed until forced by DNA tests. He briefly pretended to care to get his child support reduced.

13:05
Then he ghosted her the moment it was convenient. And now he's in court saying her feelings don't matter. This is the left, patriots. This is who they are when the cameras are off. All the talk about compassion and empathy, it's lies, it's performance. They will lecture you about morality while treating their own children like garbage. Hunter Biden should be ashamed. Joe Biden should be ashamed. The entire Biden family should be ashamed. But they are not.

13:35
because shame requires a conscience and they don't have one. One. All right, final story. Yesterday UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer flew to Beijing and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. First visit by a British Prime Minister to China in eight years. And what did Starmer do? He groveled, talked about building a strategic partnership with China, brought 50 business executives to chase Chinese money.

14:05
Meanwhile, what's Trump doing? He's slapping 50 % tariffs on China. He's sending an armada to the Middle East. He's putting America first. Starmer, a leftist labor prime minister, goes to Beijing and acts like China is just another friendly trading partner. Like they are not committing genocide against the Uyghurs. Like they are not crushing freedom in Hong Kong. Like they are not threatening Taiwan. He stood next to Xi and talked about a sophisticated relationship.

14:35
You know what's not sophisticated? Bowing to a communist dictatorship running concentration camps. Now here's what Starmor got out of this meeting. China agreed to allow British citizens to visit for 30 days without a visa, something 50 other countries already have. They agreed to cut tariffs on Scottish whiskey from 10 % to 5%. Wow, what a victory.

15:00
Oh, and they signed an agreement to cooperate on stopping Chinese boat engines from being smuggled to people traffickers crossing the English Channel. So China creates the problem. Their engines are used by smugglers and then gets credit for cooperating to fix it. Brilliant. And what disease did he get? Legitimacy. He got a Western leader flying to Beijing, shaking his hand, smiling for the cameras.

15:26
treating the Chinese Communist Party like a normal government instead of the authoritarian regime it is. Now, patriots, let's talk timing. Stormer's visit comes right after the EU and India signed a massive trade deal designed to counter Trump's tariffs and reduce dependency on American trade. Trump is using America's economic power to pressure China. He's saying, stop cheating, stop stealing, play fair. And what are our allies doing?

15:54
They are running to Beijing to make their own deal so they don't have to stand with us. Stammer is the fourth Western leader to visit Beijing this month. Canada, Finland, South Korea, Germany next month. Why? Because Trump is disrupting the old order where China got to cheat and everyone accepted it. Trump said no, and now our allies are scrambling to keep doing business with China without angering us. Here's the thing, Patriots. Stammer claims he raised human rights with Xi.

16:24
Says he mentioned Jimmy Lai, the Hong Kong media owner imprisoned under China's national security law. Mentioned the Uyghurs. But what actions? None. He didn't condition trade deals on human rights. Just mentioned it. Had a respectful discussion. Then went back to talking about money. That's not leadership. That's weakness. Compare that to Trump. Trump hits China with tariffs. Sends the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier to the Middle East.

16:54
stands up to them on trade, Taiwan, Hong Kong. Trump understands China is not our friend. They are our competitor, our adversary. They want to replace America as the world's superpower. You don't counter that by appeasing them. You counter it with strength. Stalmers UK just approved plans for a massive Chinese embassy in London after it stalled for years over security concerns. Security experts warned it would make it

17:23
easier for China to conduct espionage. But Starmor approved it anyway. For Chinese investment, for Chinese trade, willing to compromise British security for economic ties. What does that tell Xi? The West is weak. That we will sell out our values for trade deals. Let me ask you something, Patriots. What do think China thinks when they see a British Prime Minister flying to Beijing, praising Xi and signing trade deals? Do you think they see strength?

17:53
Or do you think they see an opportunity to exploit? They see weakness. They see division. They see America's allies deserting the tough stance Trump is taking. And that makes us all less safe. Because when the West is divided, China wins. When Europe is making side deals with Beijing, when the UK is cozying up to Xi, when our allies are undercutting our pressure campaign, China doesn't have to change. They just wait us out.

18:24
Trump gets this. He knows that the only way to counter China is through American strength and an allied unity. But our allies keep choosing short-term economic gain over long-term security. The UK's trade deficit with China ballooned by 18 % last year to £42 billion. They are losing money. But they keep going back for more. Why? Because business leaders want Chinese markets. Politicians don't want tough choices.

18:53
It's easy to appease and stand up. But China won't change because Stahmer asked nicely. They will only change when they face real consequences. Economic pressure, diplomatic isolation, military deterrence. That's what Trump is doing and Stahmer is undermining him. This is the difference between America first leadership and globalist appeasement. Trump puts our interests first. Stahmer puts China's feelings first.

19:23
Which works better, Patriots? So there you have it, Patriots. Three stories showing exactly what's happening right now. First story, NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta told European Parliament Monday that Europe is helpless without American military power. Said they need to double defense spending to 10 % of GDP and build their own nuclear capability. Told them, good luck defending themselves. Trump has been saying this for decades.

19:51
Ruta just proved Trump was right. Story two, Hunter Biden's lawyers filed a motion Tuesday, arguing his seven-year-old daughter's feelings are irrelevant. Hunter denied Navy Joan existed until forced by DNA test, briefly bonded with her to get child support reduced, then ghosted her after her mother published a memoir. Little girl said she can't wait to get to heaven to be with her dad. She experienced emotional trauma, realizing dad won't walk her down the aisle.

20:21
She defends Joe Biden against bullies despite the entire Biden family pretending she doesn't exist. Hunter was pardoned by daddy for felonies. Now argues in court her pain doesn't matter. The Biden's family's complete moral bankruptcy is on full display. And the final story. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with Xi Jinping in Beijing yesterday. First visit in eight years.

20:47
Talked strategic partnership with a dictatorship running concentration camps. Brought 50 business executives chasing Chinese money. Got basically nothing. Visa-free travel 50 countries already have. Tiny whiskey tariff cut. Trump is hitting China with 50 % tariffs. Sending an armada. Standing up for America. Starmer is appeasing. Trump is leading. NATO admits Europe needs us.

21:15
The Biden family treats their own granddaughter like she doesn't exist. Our allies bow to China while Trump stands firm. But Trump is fighting back. He's demanding allies pay their fair share. He's standing up to China. He's showing what real leadership looks like. This is real leadership. Not apologies, not appeasement, not weakness. Strength, clarity, America first. For years, we were told Trump's approach was wrong.

21:43
That we needed sophisticated relationships. That we had to be multilateral. Well, look where that got us. Europe dependent on us while criticizing everything we do. China stealing jobs while allies cut side deals. The Biden family lecturing about compassion while abandoning a seven-year-old. Trump is fixing this, one tough decision at a time. And we're part of it. By staying informed. By rejecting the legacy media's lies.

22:12
by supporting leaders who put our country first. And this is O'Connor's Quick Strike. I'm John O'Connor. Continue to hold the line, Patriots, and I will see you on Monday.
