There will be a real challenge to the hegemony of the United States, as European countries are rearming themselves and forming a new coalition to aid Ukraine. This alliance plans to send **various** to Ukraine, and France has even announced that it will not rule out the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine. This suggests that European countries are reasserting their power and may upset the world power structure.
Not long ago, more than 20 European heads of state, heads of state and other Western leaders met in Paris, after which France's Macron announced the plan. This tension arose not because of a speech by the former Trump of the United States, but because of the divergence of core interests between the United States and Europe. Overcoming the weaknesses of democracy and reuniting with the highly developed industrial capabilities of old Europe would have a shocking impact on the world landscape.
Trump's remarks raised concerns about tensions between Europe and the United States, and he shocked European countries by claiming that the United States would abandon its defense commitments to Europe. In his latest article, Philip Logland points out that whether the next American** will be Biden or Trump, Europe must step up its pace to rearm. This tension stems from a contest of core interests between Europe and the United States, and Trump's rhetoric is only one manifestation of the tension.
At the same time, Europe is also feeling a strong crisis, which could present great opportunities. Under Lukashenko, people began to pay attention to the grand events that could take place in 2024, believing that it would be a turning point. In addition, Europe plans to rearm itself, including even with regard to nuclear weapons.
In addition, Trump's speech at the campaign rally increased tensions between the United States and Europe. His threats to abandon U.S. defense commitments to Europe have shocked Europe. Logeland pointed out that Trump's rhetoric poses a real and imminent danger to European security assurances. Therefore, Europe must re-examine its own security guarantees in the struggle between core interests.
Trump's speech was widely discussed, and he emphasized the primacy of American interests, which conflicted with Europe's core interests. America's First believes that a complete defeat of Russia would deprive Europe of the greatest security pressure since 1480, and thus make a strong rise possible. And for Europe, they see the liberal integrity of Ukraine as an important step towards ending a dark chapter in the history of the continent. Leaders have expressed their support for Ukraine and said that if Russia is allowed to win, it will have serious repercussions for all countries. They unanimously agreed that the security of the country should not be left to the hands of other countries, and that their core interests must be resolutely defended. This conflict of interest sparked a violent collision between the United States and Europe, and Trump's speech sparked widespread controversy.
Tensions between Europe and the United States have not eased. The conflict between the future maritime hegemony of the United States and the future land power of Europe is having a significant impact on the future of these two civilizational plates. In fact, not only old Europe, but also the afterglow of the empire on which the sun never sets, and the countries of the Commonwealth of Nations, etc., are providing support to Ukraine. U.S. hegemony is based on its cooperation with the European Union and other advanced economies, and deep rifts are emerging in this cooperation, and with the influence of factors such as China, the U.S. hegemony is showing signs of decline. France announced the creation of a new alliance to aid Ukraine, and Europe is taking action, but tensions with the United States have not eased. As the Russia-Ukraine war enters a critical phase, U.S. support for Ukraine will be the decisive factor.
Europe is rapidly arming, increasing military spending and capacity, as well as strengthening its nuclear deterrent. At the same time, Europe is stepping up its assistance to Ukraine, including increasing arms production and providing large amounts of drone support. In addition, European countries are also signing bilateral security mutual guarantee agreements with Ukraine to further strengthen support for Ukraine. In the process, Europe made a unified voice, and more than 20 European heads of state and ** representatives reached a consensus at a meeting held in Paris, expressing Europe's position and determination. France even said that it was ready to establish a new alliance to aid Ukraine, and said that it would not rule out the option of sending troops to Ukraine. In conclusion, European support for the situation in Ukraine will continue, and Russia's actions in the war in Ukraine will be met with a strong European response.
The United States faces a dilemma. Biden has pledged to provide aid to Ukraine, but at the same time fears that doing so will lead to Russia's defeat and thus free Europe from US control. At this time, both the U.S. Congress and ** are trying to balance the situation, but they know that any decision will have a significant impact on the future of the country. At the same time, France's Macron also said that France could send troops to Ukraine, and stressed that Paris "cannot accept" a Russian victory. In addition, Sweden is also preparing to send Gripen fighters to support Ukraine. This series of actions shows that Europe is gradually realizing security autonomy, which could pose a threat to US global hegemony.
The far-right in the United States is on the rise, and slogans like "America First" and "American interests First" are gaining popularity. The representative of the populist forces in the United States, Speaker Johnson and former ** Trump, has sent a disturbing signal to Europe: they will not deliver on their financial promises, not only will they not condemn Russia, but they will support Putin in doing whatever he wants.
Such rhetoric has further exacerbated the unease in Europe and other allies. They decided that they wanted to stand their own ground, which led to the emergence of ** in the Western world, led by the United States. It would also undermine the hegemonic position of the United States.
Whether the United States advances or retreats, since World War II, there have been cracks in the alliance between the two sides of the North Atlantic, the bond that maintains American hegemony. Based on core interests, this rift has become irreversible: Europe is ready to rearm, forming an autonomous defensive awareness and actions against the Russian-Ukrainian war. While this trend continues to grow, the hegemonic system of the United States is showing signs of disintegrating.
In his latest article, Philippe Logland, economic adviser to the former president of the European Union, noted that Europe cannot hope that Biden will continue to deliver on his promises, but should act immediately to rebuild its military.
Now it's time to talk about how Europe can achieve a strong alliance and resource allocation. If Europe had not acted on the Crimean crisis in 2014, or even had not pursued an "America First" policy during the Trump administration in 2016, Europe would have been alert enough to act. It's never too late to make amends. With a population of more than 500 million and highly developed industrial capacity, old Europe, if it could overcome the weaknesses of its democratic system and rearm itself, would surely change the balance of world power. If it truly unites and exerts its strength, it will surely shake the world and challenge the hegemony of the United States.
