In the past decade, although Europe is also the world's largest economic power, it has also been overwhelmed by the United States.
The allies of Europe and the United States have grown tired of seeing this illogical thing during the Trump era, sanctioning today, withdrawing tomorrow, and smiling the day after tomorrow, and the relationship between the United States and Europe has never been more tense. Merkel is also the current chancellor of Germany, and she took the opportunity to promote Europe's relations with Russia, and carried out extensive cooperation in various aspects such as energy, which pushed it onto the track of high-speed development.
The game between Trump and Biden).
After Biden came to power, he showed his political skills, inciting Ukraine to launch an offensive in the Donbass, causing Russia to start the battle in the first place; Under the exaggeration of the "Russian threat theory", Europe is forced to issue ** procurement orders to the United States; Europe was forced to prematurely halt industrialization due to the energy crisis; Legislation was passed to attract European capital back to the U.S. and stimulate local manufacturing companies.
Although Biden's military operation in Afghanistan has been criticized by the United States**, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has played a huge role in striking the EU and Russia.
It is already a miracle that in just four years, Europe has gone from booming to declining and has maintained its intact structure. But this does not mean that they do not have a chance to turn over, the predicament is a challenge, but also an opportunity.
According to press reports, Josep Borrell, the European Union's top head for external and security affairs, recently expressed his views on the elections in the United States, Russia and the situation in Europe.
He candidly said that the days of either Trump or Putin were completely over, signaling a bleak future for Europe and the need to wake up.
European Union *** Governor Borrell).
Now, Trump is likely to return to the White House, and he has previously said that within 24 hours of taking office, he will stop the war in Ukraine and have expressed his friendliness to Russia.
If Putin is re-elected and the United States launches a war between Russia and Ukraine, Putin will not turn his face with the United States, and he will also profit from it. But for Europe, it's a different story, and unless they are compensated, their good days will come to an end.
Putin vs. Trump).
After all, Europe is frightened by Russia's strength and Trump's meaningless nonsense.
However, Murphy's Law also has its logic, the more fearful things are, the more likely they are to come, and as long as the leaders of European countries cannot overcome their fears, then they will never be able to get out of the predicament.
Borrell also said that the current danger facing the European Union is not limited to the United States and Russia, but a new wave of Middle East crises caused by Palestinian-Israeli contradictions, and due to the instability of the geographical environment, Europe will lose the initiative; The Russia-Ukraine war has triggered a large number of refugees to flow into Europe, triggering the problem of population mobility in European countries; Inflation is rising due to oil shortages, and at the same time, economic problems have become the most intractable issue.
It can be said that the current EU is under pressure from all sides, and if it cannot find a way out of the crisis, then European integration will become a void, and the survival of the EU will become worthless, and even the entire architecture may collapse.
Putin has previously mocked that Russia will fall apart without taking any action at all in its confrontation with Europe, and that Russia can only take care of its own affairs.
Now it seems that what he said is not without reason.
Europe has long had the idea of "integration", but the developed countries of the West have such a habit of arguing over trivial things, and as their degree of integration increases, there are more and more contradictions.
If the 27 countries unite to fight against a common enemy, I am afraid that even the United States will be afraid of three points. When the European Union was first established, it was a rabble, but it was able to compete with the United States.
China has long pointed out a clear path for the situation in Europe, and that is "strategic independence".
Central Europe) – This strategic autonomy is not as Macron claims, it is more like China itself choosing its own path of development.
Is China worried about the new U.S. nominee? Never. First, the rise of China is regarded as the "greatest threat" by the United States, so no matter which one is in power, they will not adopt an anti-China policy, and no matter which one is in power, it makes no difference to them;
China, on the other hand, is a comprehensive development path from the inside out, solving problems by oneself when encountering difficulties, and not seeking help from others when encountering difficulties. The United States wants to deal with us, the United States wants to deal with us, and we must also fight back, and when we are under pressure, we will continue to strengthen ourselves, and this is our strategic autonomy, not like a "leather ball", constantly kicked around by the United States and Russia.
In general, the European Union system is a mess, its board of directors is held by Americans, how can there be autonomy at all? If you want to awaken, you must dare to face death head-on, and with the momentum of thunder, go to its dross, and remove its dross, so that you can be reborn. Top Writers
