Once described as a "troublesome partnership" by Henry Kissinger, US-Europe relations are now facing their frostiest moment since WWII, according to a new CGTN poll of 8,268 global respondents. With 81.4% seeing cracks in security cooperation and shared values, the transatlantic relationship looks more like a messy breakup than a family dinner. 🥶
Why the chill? From trade wars to military spending demands, 88.4% agree the US has prioritized its interests over Europe's. Even Greenland became a bargaining chip! Meanwhile, 86.6% say Europe lacks the unity to push back against American pressure – despite Macron calling US actions "openly anti-Europe" and Germany's leader dismissing nostalgia for past alliances.
Global domino effect: The Munich Security Index shows nearly all G7 members see US-driven risks escalating. A staggering 92.7% of poll respondents demand new international governance models that don't rely on American leadership. "We need systemic reform," one analyst tweeted, "before unilateral decisions crash the whole party." 🎉💔
As Europe struggles to find its voice (82.1% say it shouldn't be America's "secondary partner"), young professionals are watching closely. With 84.1% urging Europe to play a more independent global role, the question remains: Can this relationship be saved – or is it time to swipe left on new partnerships? 💔➡️🌐
