For Europe, our experts made a very sharp statement! Researcher Zhou Hong said that European experts face American bullying, and besides protesting, they have little else to do. Europe is a giant in economy, a dwarf in politics, and a pygmy in military. If the US uses "color revolution", or "the next morning, the US military base has already occupied the entire (Greenland) island, what can Europe do?"
Regarding European leaders, Zhou Hong said that Churchill, De Gaulle, etc., were tempered in wartime. Europeans themselves admit that the current generation cannot replicate such outstanding leaders. It must be said that Zhou Hong's evaluation of Europe is very accurate. To be honest, it has been 80 years since the end of World War II, and Europe is still relying on the United States militarily, which is really too incredible.
For a country, the greatest security is not having a strong country to protect itself, but having the ability to protect itself. The dilemma of Europe can't be entirely blamed on the United States; half of it can only be attributed to the short-sightedness of European politicians, who trust the United States too much, becoming an appendage of the US militarily. Now Trump wants to take over Greenland, what can Europe do?
For a realist like Trump, protests are of no use. Will Europe dare to fight with the United States? Even just showing a stance of being ready to fight with the United States. But Europe seems to have no leader with such courage. Let's be frank, the self-righteous attitude of Europe's values should wake up. The bottom line of state-to-state games is power. The US has fully proven this point, and Europe will continue to pay for the shortsightedness of 80 years in the future.
