It is the US and its recent actions, including its rhetoric, that are driving people towards China.

Also, only reacting to US aggression after Greenland is attacked? Not prepare at all and then write a strongly worded letter after the fact?

If, after everything Trump has done, you still think he isn't serious about annexing Greenland then you and people like you, including the eurocrats, are truly hopeless.

Or to put it another way - is the binary US/China choice as top dog a false one?

I suspect most countries would prefer a multi-polar world where the majority is dominant ( democratic ), not one particular country ( autocratic ).

ie why do we have to choose to be under the heel of the US or under the heel of China?

The US has been playing the benevolent dictator role for the last 70 years, but when faced with losing the dictator role, the benevolent facade is dropping.

The US is mistaken to think that countries not wanting US dominance is the same as wanting Chinese dominance - they, in fact, want neither.

The global south would argue that there’s been nothing benevolent about pax americana.
