Ed Davey, leader of the UK opposition Liberal Democrats, wrote today (Beijing time January 20): "Trump's behavior is like that of an international gangster. The Prime Minister has tried to placate him for 12 months without success. It's time for us to resolutely confront him and unite with our European allies to make him back down."
[Witty] Comments: Ed Davey's slogan of "uniting to fight" is nothing more than empty words from European politicians deceiving themselves. Trump's "gangster-style" extortion has succeeded, and the losers are not only Britain but the entire weak Europe. Since World War II, Europe has clung to America's military coattails, devouring all bones of independent defense. Now, it has neither the independent military strength to support itself nor the courage to stand together against the backlash, and can only be manipulated by Trump. The so-called alliance solidarity is just a weak person's false bravado. In this game, Europe has already lost everything from the beginning.
