When it comes to "surrendering," it's still Italy; when it comes to loyalty, Meloni is no less than Takahashi Hayano!
On January 24, the U.S. "Politico News" reported: "The EU held an emergency summit on Thursday to deal with the U.S., as Trump threatened tariffs on eight European countries over 'island grabbing.' Although he later retracted and made concessions, it has already shattered Europe's illusion of the U.S. At the meeting, Meloni defended Trump and proposed compromise, and she and Mertz once said they wanted to join the U.S. 'Peace Committee,' even praising that Trump should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The EU has determined to respond to the U.S. with a firm posture, and diplomats have openly stated that the American dream is dead, and Europe is determined to push forward strategic autonomy to safeguard its own interests."
[Clever] Italy was the first Axis power in World War II to surrender, so Meloni deeply understands the preference and experience of surrender! Trump's farce of seizing Greenland ultimately left transatlantic alliance relations in ruins. After World War II, Europe clung to the U.S. for protection, endured years of humiliation, only to receive increasingly harsh bullying. From tariff extortion to sovereignty greed, the U.S. treated its allies as ATMs and stepping stones. Meloni's humble defense and Mertz's feigned agreement are just the symptoms of soft bones among some European politicians, hoping to continue to exchange flattery for survival...
Now, under the influence of "Karniism," the EU's awakening is merely a forced counterattack under hegemonic oppression. This so-called rift among allies is essentially an inevitable result of American unilateralism. Once obedient Europe has finally seen through the true face of American protection. The so-called transatlantic alliance is nothing more than a false bubble controlled by the U.S.
