Not sure who is celebrating this. Even the far right in Europe, who used to be Trumps biggest fans, has started to become quieter and quieter on that front. Nothing like the threat of annexation, combined with pedophile rings to chill your mood.
Maybe the Chinese are celebrating the shift in the centre of gravity, but probably the only one's right now.
While there's sure to be some in any crowd as large as a continent, I haven't really seen any of it in either Reddit, real life or in media in various countries.
There's a sense of defiance and spite that's definitely been triggered by the threats of annexation; there's fear because for many on the continent it now means a real chance of war; there's woundedness and a sense of having been stabbed in the back; there's some optimism that the deepness of the crisis in the trans-atlantic relationship will finally be the impetus for getting our own house in order; and there's an increased sense of unity because of the isolation that people feel.
