Europe needs an “emergency mindset” on deterrence and defence if it is to survive a global disorder where strength matters above all, Denmark’s prime minister has warned.
丹麦首相警告称,欧洲如果想要在一个强权至上的全球无序格局中生存下去,就需要在威慑和国防问题上抱有“紧迫的心态”。
Mette Frederiksen, who has been thrust by the Greenland crisis to the centre of a rupturing transatlantic alliance, told the FT that “a Europe that is not able and willing to protect itself is going to die at some point”.
格陵兰危机将梅特•弗雷泽里克森(Mette Frederiksen)推向濒临破裂的跨大西洋联盟的舞台中央。她告诉英国《金融时报》:“一个没有能力也没有意愿保护自己的欧洲,最终将会走向灭亡。”
“The old world will not come back. I am pretty sure about that,” she added. “Unfortunately, strength is one of the weapons that is useful in this new world disorder and therefore Europe has to be strong enough.”
“旧世界不会回来了。我对此相当肯定。”她还说,“遗憾的是,强权在这个新的无序世界中是有用的武器之一,因此欧洲必须足够强大。”
