After the Second World War, two Eastern and Western camps appeared ,the Western camp included Europe and the United States, along with other countries, most importantly Japan, Australia and Canada, and resulted in NATO, while the eastern camp included the republics of the Soviet Union and other countries in eastern Europe, most importantly East Germany, Poland and Bulgaria, resulting in the Warsaw Pact, which has now disappeared after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Russia, China and other countries, most importantly North Korea, Iran and Belarus in another anti-NATO camp.

NATO tried to expand eastward to approach the Russian borders until the latter sensed the danger and carried out the military operation in Ukraine, which then developed into the Russian-Ukrainian war, in light of European-Russian tension, Trump tried to resolve the conflict and gain economic gains at the expense of Ukraine and the interests of Europe, and this was rejected by the latter, which is still dominated by the phobia of World War II and the fear of Russian expansion after it, especially that Europe woke up late to find that NATO, led by the United States, will not protect it, as every country in Europe began to build a new weapons system for it, and this may take years to come, and that the United States lined up to the Russian side in the case The European shock will become double and Europe will recall with great concern the atmosphere of the Second World War and the fear of old ambitions and calculations that may destabilize many European countries, especially since most of them have placed their trust in NATO to protect them.
What are Europe's options if the United States occupies Greenland, in addition to Russia seizing Ukrainian territory with the blessing of the United States?
Europe will be looking for a strong ally in which it will find someone to line up with it against the United States, especially in the upcoming economic battle with a rapprochement between Russia and the United States, and both Europe will classify it as working against European interests, so Europe will turn to China to create a new global balance, as both converge in their balanced policy, and each will benefit from each other with economic integration, especially since both the United States and Russia have proven to the world that their interests are more important than any alliance they share, and they will not provide any support to their allies.
The final question is: How does China view the new global landscape and how does it assess the new conflict?
There are two options for China:
1) Will China make economic concessions and make a deal with the United States to control Taiwan while the United States and Russia share the wealth of weak countries?
2) Is China resorting to a new economic alliance and is it allied with Europe, especially since both China and Europe are walking on the same line with a less vicious policy than the United States and Russia?
