Russian former President Medvedev posted today (January 15): "The Gallic rooster (referring to France) has crowed. If Denmark's sovereignty is affected, the consequences will be unprecedented. Oh, what will they do? Kidnap the US president? Bomb America with nuclear weapons? Of course not. They will just be terrified and then abandon Greenland. And that would be an excellent precedent for Europe."
Comment: Medvedev's sharp and sarcastic remarks cut through the hypocritical facade of the US-Europe alliance: the Gallic rooster crows in vain, Europe talks about sovereignty empty words, and when facing American hegemony, it only dares to stay silent and compromise. The loss of Greenland would mark the beginning of the collapse of European sovereignty. This incisive comment not only exposes the rift between the US and Europe but also precisely strikes at the Western soft spot with a weapon of public opinion.
