Since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the outside world has seen how loyal Europe is to the United States. Even if you sacrifice your own interests, you must fulfill the interests of the United States. As the United States imposes extreme sanctions on Russia and energy bans, Europe has lost its cheap energy supply source and further penetrated into the energy crisis . The culprit is the United States. But the United States still holds the banner of values and lets Europe follow itself.
At present, even if it is deeply in the energy crisis, "anti-Russia" in Europe is still the number one political correctness, and if it is not completely anti-Russia, it can be labeled as "connecting with Russia". The United States and Britain provoked this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, intensifying the conflict between Europe and Russia in order to tie EU to its own tank. It is not that easy for Europe to "get out" now. Not only anti-Russia, the United States also encouraged the EU to "economic decoupling" with China and reduce its dependence on China's supply chain. It seems to be dealing with China and Russia, but in fact Europe is the biggest victim. The United States has made Europe lose its cheap energy and is now trying to instigate Europe to offend its largest trading partner. This largest trading partner has a huge market and also occupies an important position in the global supply chain.
And the United States is the biggest profiter. If Europe loses Russia's cheap energy, it can only buy expensive natural gas and oil from the United States. Moreover, the energy crisis has led to an increase in electricity costs, and many companies can only be forced to move out. The United States has introduced preferential policies to attract these European companies at this time; and Europe is calling for decoupling from China's economy, which is difficult to do at present, but Germany, the United Kingdom and others take the lead in destroying the business environment. For example, the British government recently asked Chinese companies to withdraw shares and . This behavior will inevitably affect Chinese investment.
It has been so long since Europe realized it. It turns out that the United States is not only dealing with China and Russia, but its goal is actually itself. Recently, the British " Financial Times " reported that the Biden subsidy sends a red flag. Subsidy measures surrounding the US Inflation Cut Act are causing complaints from European countries. According to reports, European investment is flowing to the United States under subsidy measures under the US inflation cut bill, as well as factors such as falling energy costs in the United States and high energy costs in Europe.
In fact, Biden signed this bill in August. At that time, we analyzed that the subsidy measures in it will have an impact on companies such as Japan, South Korea, the EU, etc., but it took more than three months for Europe to react to this "danger signal". Is reflective arc really that long? French President Macron and German Chancellor Scholz had previously reached a consensus on planning to retaliate against the United States, but it has not yet been seen. Faced with the exploitation and plundering of the United States, Europe has only the only mouth left. European Union Competition Commissioner Westagher said that in principle, the United States should not use this to fight against friends; German Economic Minister Habeck also accused "the United States' support policy is too excessive" and even scolded the United States, he dared not speak loudly.
Although Europe's current dilemma has a lot to do with the United States' interlocking trap, Europe is also suffering from it. Blindly advocating the United States' "common values" and after the momentum of public opinion is created, even if the actual interests are sold, the policy will not change. It’s really enough to live a few hundred years of good life, I have to do it. (A Dream)
