France International Radio reported today (August 25): "von der Leyen defends the trade agreement: If there is a trade war between the EU and the US, the only ones who will celebrate will be Moscow and Beijing. von der Leyen said, 'Imagine if the two largest economic powers in the democratic world fail to reach an agreement and launch a trade war — then the only place that will celebrate will be Moscow and Beijing.'"
[Witty] Comment: So, fawning is to prevent China and Russia from being happy. Von der Leyen's defense is utterly absurd! Linking the EU-US trade agreement with China and Russia, as if they are the behind-the-scenes instigators, is actually baseless blame-shifting. To prevent China and Russia from "being happy," Europe voluntarily cuts its own meat for the US, becoming an economic vassal of the US. Trade should be a win-win, but it has been turned into a political game by people like von der Leyen. If Europe continues to fawn and sacrifice its own interests to please the US, it will eventually become a victim of US hegemony, and the so-called "democratic world" is nothing more than a puppet controlled by the US.
