On October 20, British Prime Minister Elizabeth Tras announced on the same day that he would resign as the head of the British Prime Minister and the ruling Conservative Party and remain until the new prime minister is appointed. The Conservative Party will hold a new party leader election next week. She herself issued a brief statement at No. 10 Downing Street, the British Prime Minister's residence, admitting that she could not complete the task of leading the UK out of the current dilemma. It was only 45 days from his appointment to his resignation, and Tras became the shortest-lived prime minister in British history. After she issued a statement, the opposition parties Labour Party , Liberal Democratic Party and other political parties immediately spoke out and demanded that the general election be held in advance.
47-year-old Elizabeth Trass is the third female prime minister in British history. The first two are the famous Iron Lady Thatcher and Theresa May known as "Auntie Mei". On September 5, Tras replaced the scandal-ridden former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and became the 56th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. After taking office for only three days, Queen Elizabeth II of the UK, who is loved by the British people, died of a series of complications caused by infection with the new crown , which cast a shadow on her career as a prime minister.
But what really caused Tras to step down in any month and a half was not the death of the queen, but her wrong economic policies. Before taking office, Tras quickly won a group of supporters by hyping populist sentiment and promoting tax cuts. At the same time, another prime minister candidate who competed with him was also the former Indian-born British Chancellor Sunak, who had forced Boris to depose the emperor and forced the two prime ministers to step down, criticized Tras' tax cut plan for being too radical in public, which would only lead to turmoil in the UK's economic and financial markets. As an elite who studied economy and business administration at Oxford and Stanford , Sunak's speech was unexpectedly impressed, or any more rational person can see that Tras's economic policy is simply a mess and is completely useless to solve the current dilemma in the UK.
There is another major event in Europe at the same time as Trass' resignation. On October 19, the French and German governments made a decision to postpone the ministerial meeting originally scheduled to be held next week until January 2023. According to sources, the conflict between the two countries has begun to emerge recently, especially in the military field, namely the Russian-Ukrainian conflict; and the energy field, the degree of intensification of the contradiction is far beyond the outside world's imagination.
On October 16, in an interview with French Echo, Macron called on Germany to carefully consider its own energy policy and oppose the 200 billion euro energy price subsidy plan currently being brewed by Germany, saying that this plan may distort the European market. Macron said France and Germany should unite in the energy field, rather than doing their own thing.
Earlier, France and Germany reached an agreement that France would send more natural gas to Germany, and Germany would give back electricity to France. However, the introduction of the 200 billion euro subsidy plan has made France feel very excited. France believes that this plan will maintain the competitiveness of German companies and maintain it at the European leading level. But the French treasury does not have enough money to subsidize. In other words, compared with German companies, French companies that are already at a competitive disadvantage will be widened by the former. Similar situations also occur between other countries and Germany. In the face of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the resulting energy crisis , Germany only cares about saving its own enterprises and wants to sell off other enterprises, which has been criticized by many European countries.
It should be noted that has only one basis for the establishment and existence of EU , that is, the reconciliation of France and Germany. Historically, France and Germany have many conflicts, and the outbreak of Both World Wars was related to this. After the end of World War II , taking advantage of this rare historical opportunity, France and Germany began the reconciliation process, and finally successfully created the predecessor of the EU, European Community and the EU. If there is a gap between France and Germany, then the collapse of the EU will not be far away.
Judging from the current situation, France and Germany are far from being in trouble or even living to the death. Both sides are still actuarizing various interests based on extremely realistic political interests, and using this as a basis to play with each other, which can still be called being in a relatively benign range. But the problem is that the energy problem is a deadlock that neither France nor Germany can solve. Germany has abandoned its martial arts due to environmental protection issues. Not only has it given up on coal, but also nuclear power. Restarting nuclear power in the short term is not realistic for Germany, and there is a realistic possibility to restart coal mining. However, in the absence of Germany's coal industry, if Germany wants to restart its own coal industry, it must seek China's help, because China is currently the most developed country in the world with the world's coal industry, no doubt about it.
As we all know, because China does not clearly support the Western world in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and even dares to tell the truth, pointing out a series of mistakes in the Western world before and after the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, for the Western world, China is now an object of total denial, and all things related to China have innate political incorrectness. Against this background, the indecisive German Chancellor Scholz has no environment and no courage to carry out in-depth government-level cooperation with China under pressure. Even if it has an absolutely positive and positive effect on its national interests, it should also take ideological as the top priority, which is the so-called "starving to death is small, and losing one's fortune is big."
France is in a slightly better situation, after all, France is the most developed country in Europe with nuclear power. But the situation in France is not good either. Due to the Fukushima nuclear accident , the development of France's nuclear power in recent years is highly bound to China. In-depth cooperation with China in the field of nuclear power is a true portrayal of France's nuclear power industry today. Based on the above reasons and some other reasons, the bad situation in France should be more of a bad political environment. The Yellow Vest Movement, which has not yet been completed, is essentially a color revolution. However, since France is a Western country, it is just a riot. The Yellow Vest Movement has not developed to the extent of messing up France, chaotic France, and splitting France.
As for the trader behind all this, it is actually self-evident. Whether it is Tras becoming the shortest-lived prime minister in British history, or the gap between France and Germany and the European energy crisis, there are Americans. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict was originally a war initiated by the United States to disrupt Europe and prevent Europe's development. Now it looks amazing. In the traditional sense, France and Germany, France and Germany, are in a state of chaos. In the traditional sense, Britain, the last of the three European Union troops, has also begun to experience political chaos. Europe's decline is a visible thing, which will be more conducive to the United States' control of Europe, ensuring that Europe will not achieve revival, and thus challenge its own hegemony.
Moreover, Ukraine and Russia have also become a state of undying death. No matter what the result is, Russia's national strength will surely be greatly damaged, and Ukraine will completely become a vassal of the United States. In this case where Europe, Ukraine and Russia all lost, the United States became the only winner.
