Trump Unleashes Full Force Against Europe: China and Russia Are Just "Monsters," NATO Is the Number One Threat

One sentence from Trump made Europe's hearts jump to their throats.

The incident started when he shared a post on a social media platform, which stated that China and Russia are merely "monsters," and the real threat to the United States is the United Nations and NATO.

The term "monsters" is a Western expression used to scare children, and this tactic is universal around the world. Trump's meaning is that the threats posed by China and Russia to the United States are only in the realm of imagination, while the threats from NATO and the United Nations are very real.

This is also why Trump wants to set up his own alternative to the United Nations. He needs an international organization completely controlled by the United States, so that the US does not have to share power with other permanent members, and can achieve dominance alone.

What truly makes Europe anxious is Trump's designation of NATO as the top threat, which has a direct connection to NATO's recent actions regarding the Greenland issue.

It should be noted that although NATO is led by the United States, European countries have a significant numerical advantage, and other member states outside of Europe also oppose the US annexation of Greenland, such as Canada.

Moreover, Trump has long been dissatisfied with the proportion of defense costs borne by NATO member states, and has even considered dissolving NATO, threatening Europe multiple times on this basis.

Compared to the annexation of Greenland, what Europe fears most is losing American protection. Therefore, they dare not take a tough stance on the Greenland issue, to avoid angering Trump completely.

Trump has precisely seized on Europe's weakness, thus unleashing full force against Europe. The success of the invasion of Venezuela has given him more confidence. However, since Europe's resistance is not as strong as that of Venezuela, he has not yet taken any actual action, but is still at the stage of psychological warfare.

After all, he just needs to move his fingers, post some images or statements about the annexation of Greenland on social media, and Europe would already be in disarray.
