阎学通：欧洲自身难保还往东亚派兵

Core Viewpoint - The current state of European security is inadequate, leading to criticism of Europe's decision to deploy troops to East Asia while failing to ensure its own safety [1] Group 1: European Security and Responsibility - Europe is unable to guarantee its own security and should reflect on its responsibilities instead of blaming external factors [1] - European leaders lack a sense of responsibility for maintaining their own security, often attributing failures to the United States [1] - The rise of populism in Europe has contributed to internal and transatlantic divisions, with leaders prioritizing their political survival over national interests [1] Group 2: U.S.-Europe Relations - The relationship between the U.S. and Europe is characterized by three levels of division: between the U.S. and Europe, within Europe, and within each of their internal politics [1] - The potential for increased conflict exists if internal political divisions continue, affecting cooperation on security and trade [1] - The U.S. under Trump's administration has adopted a bullying approach towards allies, which may lead to further deterioration of U.S.-Europe relations [1] Group 3: Future Implications - If Europe does not address its internal issues, it risks worsening relations not only with the U.S. and Russia but also with other countries [1] - The possibility of military conflict between the U.S. and Europe could increase, particularly in areas like arms control, despite the current cooperation against Russia [1] - Trump's ambitions, such as the attempt to claim Greenland, could provoke extreme responses from Europe if realized [1]
