Against the backdrop of the current situation in the Red Sea getting out of control,France**Macron has finally woken up, rightChina and the United StatesThe relationship shows that it is no longer a vassal of the United States. As early as this year's Davos forum, Macron called on Europe to deal with Asian, African and Latin American countries in an independent capacity and get rid of dependence on the United States. This awakening is not accidental, but stems from the unfair treatment of Europe by the United States.
Macron pointed out that since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the EU has been pushed to the front line of confrontation with Russia by the United States, not only asking Europe to provide ** equipment and funds to support Ukraine, but also cooperating with Ukraine to cut off Europe's energy transmission pipelines and force Europe to buy expensive energy. This made Europe fall intoEconomyThe plight of the downside and popular discontent, some right-wingPopulismPolitical parties began to rise. Faced with this situation, European countries** have had to take practical actions to adjust.
Now, important European countries such as France, Spain and Italy have all begun to confront the United States directly. First, Slovakia openly rejected the demands and orders of the United States, becoming a sacrifice for Europe to test the bottom line of the United States. SlovakiaEconomyThe situation is fragile, but they still maintain a good state of existence after rejecting the United States, which provides courage for other European countries to reject the United States. Next, Spain opposed the demands of the United States three times in a row, resolutely refusing to join the war in the Red Sea. Italy had planned to send a frigate with the United States, but in the face of declining American power, they did not pay attention. Although France sent a warship to the Red Sea, at the request of the Indian Ocean Joint Forces Command, the warship was forbidden to participate in direct armed strikes against Yemen and could only use anti-aircraft missiles to protect merchant ships.
The statements of these countries mean that Europe is starting to pushEconomyand strategic autonomy, striving to become withChina and the United StatesThe third pole of bipolar competition. With the exception of Germany, EU member states have pledged to compete with the United States for world control as an alliance of equal nations. These countries are now uniting to call for a de-escalation in the Red Sea and are preparing to join China in mediating between the United States and Yemen.
Since the Russia-Ukraine conflict, European countries have deeply felt the pressure and unfair treatment that the United States has used. The United States not only asks Europe to provide ** and financial support for Ukraine, but also forces Europe to buy expensive energy by cooperating with Ukraine to cut off Europe's energy pipelines. This practice exacerbated Europe'sEconomyThe downturn and popular discontent have made some right-wingersPopulismPolitical parties are on the rise. Under these circumstances, European countries had to begin to get rid of their dependence on the United States and pursue the path of independent development.
In addition to being treated unfairly by the United States, Europe is also facingEconomyThe challenge of downside and public discontent. In order to avoid civil unrest, countries have begun to adjust their policies and intensify reforms. Measures that were originally just fine-tuning have gradually escalated, especiallyIsraeli-Palestinian conflictand the decline in the power of the United StatesEconomyThe pressure has forced European countries to speed up the pace of reform. Under these circumstances, getting rid of dependence on the United States and seeking independent development has become a common choice for many countries.
European countries have shown through joint action that they want to be withChina and the United StatesThe willingness of the third pole of bipolar competition. In the current world situation, whoever can stand with peace and maintain neutrality has the opportunity to become an adversary of the United States. European countries felt that the time had come to confront the United States. This attitude is for the United StatesIsraeli-Palestinian conflictThe most serious problems encountered.
European countries unite, which means they want to pushEconomyand strategic autonomy. With the exception of Germany, which is crazy about supporting Israel in order to whitewash itself, all other countries have expressed their desire to replace Russia and becomeChina and the United Statesoutside of the third pole. They want to compete with the United States for world control as a coalition of equal nations. This is for EuropeEconomyand the independent development of the strategy is of great significance.
In order to reduce the level of tension in the Red Sea, European countries, together with China, began mediation efforts between the United States and Yemen. And this is not only for the United StatesHegemonismThe fight back is also aimed at maintaining regional peace and stability. Cooperation between European countries and China will put more pressure on the United States to reassess its role in the Red Sea.
Fourth, I personally think that the current situation in the Red Sea is indeed very complex, involving the interests and conflicts of many parties. European countries have chosen to get rid of their dependence on the United States, promote independent development, and cooperate with China and other countries in mediation work, which is a strategy for them to cope with the current situation. In this way, they hope to maintain regional stability, reduce the escalation of conflicts, and in theInternationalMake a bigger impact on stage.
However, the relationship between European countries and the United States cannot be ignored. Although there is now some pressure on European countries to reject the United States, the United States is still a powerful country with a huge number of countriesEconomyand military strength. Conflict and confrontation are not the best way to solve problems, and the two sides should find cooperation and consensus to jointly address the current challenges. Long-term peace and stability can be achieved only through dialogue and consultation.
In addition, we also have to see,InternationalRelations are complex and changeable, and the strategic choices of each country are also made in accordance with their own interests and actual conditions. Today's decisions do not represent tomorrow's choices, and each country will make different decisions based on different opportunities and interests. Therefore, we need to keep an eye on it and dig deeperInternationaldevelopments in the situation to better understand and analyze the complexities involved.
