Trump is really amazing, he understands human relationships very thoroughly! He knows that if you are too respectful to small countries, they will take themselves too seriously and even become overbearing.
Small countries should have their own place, just like the seating arrangement at a leader's table, which must follow rules. Being too respectful to small countries can be harmful instead.
To deal with small countries, one should use strategies and tactics, because other small countries cannot understand them, and it would be a waste of energy.
If we compare China, the US, and Russia to martial arts masters, we can see that the interactions between the three countries are like a master's duel, only these three countries can understand. If these advanced techniques are used on small countries, the small countries might think you are weak and incapable. To be honest, even the EU cannot understand, because although the EU is large in scale, it is not a single country, still having a small country mentality.
Therefore, the EU often doesn't understand the moves made by China, the US, and Russia, and appears confused, pretending to understand, getting taken advantage of, and even helping others count money.
From this perspective, many sophisticated moves are incomprehensible to the EU, how could small countries understand them? Therefore, releasing advanced techniques in front of small countries is simply a waste of energy.
Moreover, small countries themselves don't have much autonomy; they focus on immediate interests. A simple bun is better than anything else.
Therefore, we must never take small countries too seriously! Otherwise, it's a waste of resources and energy. They only need a meat bun, but if you give them a bunch of good things, they won't recognize or understand them, and they might even think they are not tasty!
