The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is too involved, and the negative impact caused is like a "domino" sweeping the world. As the center of the whirlpool where the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out, Europe suffered the most heavy losses.
In terms of energy, Europe has a scarce energy endowment. Because the relationship with Russia has not been properly handled, Europe has encountered a lot of trouble with energy issues. Russian President Putin once said that Europe relies too much on new energy and has cut off the precious road of Russian energy. If they encounter a long and cold winter, they will be finished. In terms of security, European military aid has been severely outflowed, and they will face security challenges in the next decades. In terms of trade, the United States promulgated the Inflation Reduction Act, which seriously damaged the development of European industries. When the situation woke up, the situation changed suddenly. Nine Europeans joined forces to fire the "first anti-US shot". Medvedev prediction is correct.
9 European countries "declare war" on the United States
Some time ago, in order to alleviate the growing inflation rate, US President Biden signed the "2022 Inflation Cut Act ", with a total expenditure of approximately US$430 billion. Once the bill was introduced, media and experts sent signals of concern. Foreign media analyzed that the bill is openly under the banner of reducing inflation and promoting the development of local new energy industries, but in fact it is a "conspiracy" to harm the interests of other countries and gain advantages for itself. Experts explained that the bill was full of trade protectionism and Europe became the first victim.
Faced with such a situation, Europe is unwilling to sit still and wait for death. They actively communicate and formulate countermeasures to make the "declaration of war on the United States" resound throughout the world. Recently, nine countries including France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal held a meeting in Spain to respond to the US Inflation Reduction Act.
According to reports, European countries generally believe that the US bill is an protectionist policy, which seriously damages the interests of European companies. EU Mediterranean head of state declared in the announcement that it would respond to the challenges of the US bill in a "European way". French President Macron once said that all countries must make a "strong response" to the US move. The impact of
on Europe
Experts have analyzed that the damage to Europe by the United States is unprecedented and undoubtedly "cutting off the fire." At the economic level, the bill forces European manufacturing giants to make a choice, either choose the U.S. market or stay in Europe. Based on many factors, most companies will choose the United States without hesitation, and Europe will become an "empty shelves".
At the political level, the bill may intensify conflicts in Europe, and the two European giants, France and Germany, have differences in their treatment of the bill. France believes that it should strive to resist the crisis and enact the "Buy European Goods Act". But Germany is not interested. They just want to promote industrial transformation and eliminate "backward production capacity". At the industrial structure level, the United States and Europe will start a "new struggle", and a "trans-ocean" trade struggle is about to begin.
It is worth noting that Medvedev, vice chairman of the Russian Federal Security Council, once predicted that the United States and Europe are heading for an ugly breakup. Former US Secretary of State Kissinger once said: "Being an enemy of the United States is terrible, while being an allies of the United States is fatal."
