French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday said it would be unrealistic to launch a military operation to force open the Strait of Hormuz after US President Donald Trump challenged allies to work towards reopening it. In unusually strong criticism, Macron accused Trump of constantly contradicting himself on the Iran war and of undermining faith in the NATO military alliance.
Europe has to become independent of Trump. Europe is like a wife who husband abuses her but is afraid to leave because she doesn’t think she can survive on her own. Europe can survive without Trump. Europe cannot do anything to help Greenland if the US invades it. The reason is that Greenland is very close to the US unless Russia and China help, which is very possible. Russia and China do not want the US to control Greenland.
Yes, it’s exactly like a domestic violence situation, but only because trump is an abusive husband and doesn’t practice statecraft. Europe is waking up to the new reality. I don’t think Americans are yet, as they are more insulat but it’s coming.
