British media: Under von der Leyen's leadership, the EU fears the US, fears China, but is not afraid of Russia at all!
On January 23, the UK's The Times reported: "Trump announced at the Davos Forum that the US would abandon the use of force to seize Greenland and planned to draw on the 'sovereign base' model of Cyprus, establishing military bases in specific areas to gain a strategic foothold in the Arctic, and stated that he would reach a framework agreement with Europe. However, his threatening remarks, 'You can say no, but I will remember,' still left Europe worried. Protests erupted among the people of Greenland, and there was internal skepticism within Europe about the lack of transparency in the agreement and its appeasement of hegemony. The attitude of the EU under von der Leyen towards the US, China, and Russia is vastly different, which is puzzling..."
[Witty] The British media again brings up China! Europe's double standards: Tolerating the US silently, yet being bold against Russia! Von der Leyen loudly announced freezing Russian assets and providing 90 billion euros in aid to Ukraine at Davos, but then silently tolerated Trump's coercion over Greenland. This double standard is simply laughable! Historically, Europe has been accustomed to appeasing hegemony, now repeating the old path - Trump's words "We will remember" made it compromise with the Cyprus model, ignoring even the public opinion of Greenland, while taking a tough stance against Russia. On one hand, it tolerates the infringement of sovereignty by the US, on the other hand, it intensifies unwarranted sanctions against Russia. Under von der Leyen's leadership, the EU has turned diplomacy into a farce of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. It forgot its own shortcoming of lacking an independent industrial chain, blindly following the US to make enemies everywhere, this rigid operation ultimately ends up kicking the bucket, revealing its passivity and embarrassment in the era of multipolarity!
