Against the backdrop of growing tensions in the Red Sea, the United States asked European countries for moreNavyThe forces supported the bombing campaign against the Houthis. However, European heavyweights such as France, Spain and Italy have refused to participate in joint combat operations organized by the United States. As early as this year's Davos forum, Macron made it clear that Europe should engage with countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America as an independent state, rather than as a vassal state of the United States. Now, European countries are taking action to adjust to ensure the stability of their countries and the interests of their citizens.
In the face of the demands of the United States, France and Italy have taken a clear attitude of rejection, and even before the United States urgently needed to uniteNavyWhile escorting, the French sortedfor the U.S. platform. Other European countries are not officially dispatched, though, but also did not support the demands of the United States. This is not unexpected because since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States has pushed the European Union to the forefront of the fight against Russia, demanding its supplyEquipment and financial support. In addition, the United States has also worked with Ukraine to cut off Europe's energy pipelines, forcing it to buy energy from the United States. Europe facesEconomyProblems such as decline, popular discontent, and the rise to power of right-wing populism** urgently require a realignment of national policies to ensure the stability of the country. Due to the sharp decline of the United States' own power, European countries have stepped up the pace of reform, and France and Italy have even dared to confront the United States head-on.
Over the past year, major European countries such as France, Spain, and Italy have responded to U.S. interference and pressure. This series of actions demonstrates the determination of these countries to safeguard their interests and independence. For example,France**At this year's Davos forum, Macron made an important point: "Europeans should cooperate with Asian, African and Latin American countries as Europeans, not as vassals of the United States." This view has received positive responses and support from other European countries.
In addition, the EU countries are aware that some actions of the United States can pose a threat to their own interests. For example, the United States, in cooperation with Ukraine, cut off Europe's energy pipelines, forcing it to buy ** energy from the United States. This act exposes European countries to energy ** andEconomyThe dilemma of stability has sparked widespread dissatisfaction and resistance against the United States.
These events gradually aroused the alarm and dissatisfaction of European countries against the United States, prompting them to take action to protect their interests. This rejection of the U.S. demand shows that European countries are no longer willing to be vassals of the United States, but are willing to compete head-on with the United States for global control as an alliance of independent states.
Faced with the escalation of the situation in the Red Sea, European countries have united and called for reducing tensions and, together with China, pushing for mediation against the United States and Yemen. These countries recognize that in today's world, a peaceful stance and a neutral attitude are important ways to confront the United States. They believe that the time is ripe and that Europe has the strength to compete with the United States.
With the efforts of European countries, they called on the Red Sea parties to exercise restraint, seek a peaceful solution, and increase diplomatic efforts to promote dialogue and compromise. In addition, European countries are ready to join hands with China to play a mediating role and bring stability and peace to the Red Sea region.
The joint call of European countries for a de-escalation of the situation in the Red Sea is arguably their most serious rejection of the United States. This joint action is a testament to the role of European countries inInternationalAutonomy and independence in transactions. In particular, countries such as France, Spain and Italy, which could not cater to the demands of the United States, chose to act accordinglyInternationalA powerful voice came out of the stage.
Among the many EU countries, Slovakia was the first to openly reject US demands and orders. Despite the fact that Slovakia, as a small country, is inEconomyThere may have been some restrictions on things like the environment, but their refusal gave other European countries the courage to take action and no longer bow to the United States. Spain was the first country to explicitly oppose it, and they are confrontingIsraeli-Palestinian conflictHe stood up and opposed the U.S. demands three times in a row. Italy, on the other hand, had planned to participate in the U.S. operation, but after witnessing the decline of U.S. power, they also abandoned cooperation with the United States.
France sent itParticipate in the operation, but order they must not participate in direct force operations against Yemen and can only use air defenseMissilesProtecting passing merchant ships. This shows that France is willing to contribute to the maintenance of regional stability while protecting its own interests.
At this year's Davos forum, European countries led by Macron emphasized the promotion of EuropeEconomyand strategic autonomy. They want to become a third pole power in addition to China and the United States, competing with the United States on an equal footing. European countries are uniting by pushing furtherEconomyautonomy and strategic autonomy to achieve this.
At the same time, European countries are beginning to re-examine their relationship with China. Germany is one of the few countries that support Israel, while other EU countries are close to China and are trying to build closer ties with itEconomyand political partnerships. They want to use the power of China to confront the United States and realize their own existenceInternationalIndependence and influence in transactions.
The situation in the Red Sea is out of control, and European countries realize that they need to act to protect their interests and independence. They are rejecting US interference and pressure, and are uniting to call for de-escalation of tensions in the Red Sea. European countries are gradually showing their autonomyEconomyand strategic will, hoping to become an important force outside of China and the United States. At the same time, they are also reassessing their relationship with China and trying to build a closer relationship with China. Against this global backdrop, European countries are gradually becoming adversaries of the United States and working hard to safeguard their own interests.
