After the United States fell out of favor, where did Europe go from here?
What will happen when the world is no longer afraid of the United States? The post-World War II international order, which lasted for more than 70 years, is gradually collapsing. NATO is experiencing its greatest challenge since its founding, with the strongest defense systems often collapsing internally.
The contradictions between the United States and its allies are becoming increasingly acute. Behind this, not only is the situation and potential hostile forces changing, but many things are hidden with thought-provoking worries, and we can't go deeper, otherwise the more you think about it, the more frightened you become.
We delve into the story behind the ** today.
There are two key factors in the origin and existence of NATO: first, the clear enemy, namely the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact; The second is U.S. assistance for post-war European reconstruction. However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, both of these factors ceased to exist.
At the same time, the EU is building up its own armed forces, and Europe is no longer so dependent on the protection of the United States. Moreover, the gratitude and reverence of a new generation of young people in Europe for the United States has disappeared.
Therefore, NATO's historic mission is over, and Europe in the new era will be dominated by Macrons, not the United States.
Dissatisfaction with the United States continues to rise in European countries, and not long ago we interpreted France, the first country to stand up against the United States, and France's anti-war rhetoric and policies further confirmed our **.
Le Pen, the leader of the French political party "League of Nations", clearly opposed the war, and she criticized EU diplomat Borrell, believing that if Borrell had made the decision, France would have gone to war with Russia long ago.
France** Macron has also publicly stated that France will not use nuclear ** and does not want a world war. Although France was liberated by the United States during World War II, it is morally imperative to oppose the United States now.
However, France still chooses to take an anti-American stance, which only shows that the benefits of opposing the United States far outweigh the moral risks. There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
As the war progressed, all the conspiracies and cards had been revealed, and all of Europe had seen the ill intentions of the United States and saw the opportunity. Macron then visited the United States on behalf of Europe, but received little to gain.
At the same time, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited China, which was seen as an open rebellion against the United States. The war made people realize that modern Europe lacks great men to lead it.
Who will dominate or even control Europe has become a more important question than the United States.
Revered as Europe's hope for the future, Macron is young and bold, daring to challenge pressure and contradict the United States, but German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak may not agree.
Macron and Scholz represent the East and the West, respectively, and they may have coordination in private, or they may have their own ambitions, but the truth is not yet clear. The emergence of European leaders shows that Europe's attitude towards the United States is different from that of the past, and that private political competition is becoming increasingly fierce.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has revealed the nature of the United States, which quickly gained global leadership with the support of its allies after World War II, waged dozens of wars and established the dollar as the only global currency.
However, the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022 has revealed the weakness of the United States, especially in the military confrontation with major powers, and the United States no longer has the courage of the past and only dares to launch a "human war".
What will happen when the world is no longer afraid of the United States?
After the world no longer fears the United States, the influence and control of the United States will gradually weaken until it loses some authority and territory. History has taught us that the Netherlands, once a maritime power, and Britain, the empire on which the sun never sets, have gone through such a journey.
