Canadian Prime Minister Kani's anti-American remarks have already spread from person to person.

Previously, Kani had delivered a direct hit on the United States at the Davos Forum, stating that the old order dominated by major powers is gone for good, and middle-sized countries should unite to build a new order together.

Kani was forced into a corner by Trump and became the first to take the initiative. However, Western countries have long been frustrated with the United States. Seeing Kani raise his arm in call, Europe responded enthusiastically, all clamoring to be the founders of the new order, including Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen.

Compared to Canada, Denmark faces more urgent threats. Trump's blatant desire for Greenland is well known. Moreover, since the start of the new year, the US has accelerated its pace, employing various means, using pressure first and then incentives. Now, Trump tends to reach some kind of agreement with Greenland.

The specific details of the agreement are not yet clear, but there is only a rough framework so far, which is to obtain part of Greenland's sovereignty through negotiations, especially in the areas of resources and defense.

While NATO Secretary General Rutte, seen as "a good son" by Trump, agreed, no other European country shares his view. The position of Denmark and Greenland is clear: they are willing to negotiate, but not including sovereignty.

Faced with continuous threats from Trump, the Danish Prime Minister decided to follow Kani's example and join the anti-American movement. She warned the United States that the current situation proves that if Europe unites, it is possible to resist Trump. The old order has collapsed and will never return.

French President Macron, who was also present, agreed with this view and eagerly promoted the so-called "China-Russia threat", trying to bring Trump back to the Western camp to jointly resist China and Russia. It can only be said that this man is really beyond help. As an observer, one can only give up the desire to help and respect the fate of Europe.

What unsettles Europe is not only Trump's territorial ambitions, but also his denial of the contributions of Western allies in the Afghanistan war, which also involves Denmark.

According to the ratio of casualties and population, Denmark was the NATO country with the highest sacrifice in the Afghanistan war. Now, Trump simply dismissed it with a single sentence, which naturally cannot be accepted.

Trump ignores Europe

The way the Danes chose to protest was to plant Danish flags in the flower beds outside the American embassy, totaling 44 flags, representing the 44 soldiers who died.

As soon as they were planted, the staff at the American embassy pulled them out immediately. This made the Danes even more angry, so they bought another batch of flags and planted them again.

Feeling the anger of the Danes, the American embassy did not pull the flags this time and gave an explanation for their previous actions, saying it was a "mistake," but this explanation could not convince the Danes who were still angry.

Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen was indignant, stating that planting the flag was full of peace and love, but the American embassy brutally pulled down the flag, which was trampling on Danish dignity. Local city officials even bluntly stated that what the US did was like urinating on Danish veterans, which was highly insulting.

To be honest, the Danes can only express their protests in a peaceful way. If they really had to join the military and fight against the US forces directly, their anger would surely be suppressed.

It is worth noting that after the American embassy stopped pulling down the flags, more people began to plant flags, and now there are over a hundred Danish flags in the flowerbed. But what does it matter? Besides providing some entertainment, it has no practical effect.
