Many Western European countries are dying out and overrun by migrants. This increases the probability that the politics of these countries can turn against Americans, endangering American investments in Greenland. How could Western Europeans counter this thinking?
Countering the "dying out" narrative with stability: The argument that European countries' internal political dynamics make them unreliable is implicitly countered by presenting a united front and emphasizing that, despite internal political debates, their commitment to democratic principles and alliances is stable. They argue that it is the U.S.'s unilateral actions, not European internal politics, that introduce instability to the transatlantic relationship.
Leveraging economic leverage: European nations are considering using their significant economic power, such as freezing the EU-U.S. trade deal or activating anti-coercion instruments, as a deterrent against any unilateral U.S. actions. This signals that there would be tangible economic costs for a breach of trust.
Both of these arguments are weak. Flood of migrants, low birth rates, draconian measures against freedom of speech, toying with an absurd idea of starting a nuclear war, low popularity of governments in Western Europe show anything, not stability. Western Europe going under in a deep economic crisis and freezing the EU-U.S. trade deal sounds funny. Any more ideas?
