The statement by the Danish Prime Minister has disappointed the people of Greenland, and European countries are worried!
Yesterday, Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen again told the media: "If the United States chooses to launch a military attack on another NATO country, everything will stop!" This statement sounds like a warning, but in fact, it is more like a lament. Her point is not that we will retaliate, nor that Denmark will take action, or even that Denmark will call on the EU to act. She only said that things will passively stop. A senior European country's prime minister, when facing a threat to its territory, is unable or too afraid to say a word about retaliation. This in itself is the answer. The real meaning of "everything will stop" is: I don't know what will happen, but I am powerless to control any outcome; I can only wait for others' choices to decide our fate. This helplessness and weakness are pitiful. Obviously, Europe is no longer what it used to be!
[Cunning] The Danish Prime Minister's phrase "everything will stop" reveals the humiliation of Europe being a vassal of hegemony! It sounds like a warning to the US, but it is actually a lament of inability to resist. There is no boldness to retaliate, no confidence to unite, only the despondency of passively waiting. The backbone of this old European power has been lost completely! Looking back at the Cold War, Europe relied on NATO to seek security. Now, the leader of the alliance swings the sword against us, and the collective defense clause of NATO has become a paper tiger. How ironic! From Trump's crude seizure of Greenland to Germany and Britain urgently seeking to station troops but unwilling to stand up, Europe is no longer a force that can rival the US. The confidence to colonize the world a century ago, the sharpness to balance between the US and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, have all been eroded by relying on the US. The so-called allies are merely pawns of US hegemony. Europe loudly calls for strategic autonomy, but its military equipment is in disarray and its divisions are rampant. Even defending its territory depends on others. This weak appearance is the harshest mockery of its willingness to be a US vassal!
