According to a report by Russia's RT on September 14, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, stated that the EU must improve its relationship with US President Trump and adapt to the way he handles affairs and politics.

She called Trump "the most influential person in the world," saying that Europe should learn how to deal with him.

Responding to dissatisfaction within the EU over von der Leyen's humiliating agreement, she said that this was a new benchmark set by Trump, indicating that whether an agreement can be reached is directly related to the state of relations with the United States.

The implication is that if the EU reaches an agreement with Trump, it indicates good EU-US relations.

From her perspective, maintaining good relations with the United States is more important than anything else, even if it means using very humiliating methods.

Her words are nothing short of sycophancy, a typical example of servile submission - not only acknowledging the decline of the EU's status but also trying to justify this dependent relationship, packaging humiliation as cooperation, and treating inequality as diplomatic skill. She is a perfect match for von der Leyen.

Kallas

It should be noted that Kallas has been publicly humiliated by the Trump administration.

In the first half of the year, Kallas was scheduled to meet with US Secretary of State Rubio to discuss coordination between the US and the EU on security issues, but upon arriving in the US, the meeting was suddenly canceled at the last minute, citing a scheduling conflict.

As the highest-ranking EU diplomat, being treated like this, any politician with a bit of dignity would realize that they are just an obedient figure in the eyes of the US, but Kallas did not. Instead, she immediately defended Trump, urging the EU to cooperate with Trump.

This brings us to another dog for the US - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who signed this agreement that betrayed the core interests of the EU.

Now it seems that these two work well together, one responsible for signing and the other for whitewashing, willingly handing over the knife to stab Europe itself, and leading the whole continent to kneel before Trump.

What they claim to be protecting European interests is actually serving as agents for the US to reap the benefits from Europe.

Von der Leyen

The greatest tragedy of Europe lies in politicians like von der Leyen, who have no real power yet can represent the entire EU to sign agreements that determine the fate of Europe.

Meanwhile, the leaders of European countries who truly hold national sovereignty are powerless against such institutional betrayal.

The EU struggles to achieve consensus on even basic matters, often arguing for months, but when it comes to catering to American decisions, one von der Leyen can get things done.

If they could show such efficiency in other matters, Europe wouldn't have fallen into this situation. It's precisely when they should stand up, they argue, and when they should kneel, they do so without hesitation.

Von der Leyen has handed over the entire Europe, receiving only some superficial support from the US, and her actions have been publicly endorsed by politicians like Kallas.

This is not strategic autonomy for Europe, but a political automation of agents, a form of institutional self-castration.

"Perfect Match"

In the end, these politicians don't care about the people of Europe.

They have never pursued the welfare of Europe, but rather their own future.

The only political goal of von der Leyen and Kallas is to gain Washington's approval.

What about the leaders of European countries? Apart from a few expressing disappointment or concern, the majority don't even bother to say a hard word.

This is precisely why people like von der Leyen feel emboldened to betray European interests. I will sell Europe first; you dare to oppose me, but can you dare to oppose the US? As long as you can't resist the US, you can only swallow your pride and accept it.

In fact, it's not just von der Leyen. Many European politicians have stopped defending their national interests and are competing to become the US's representative in Europe.

So, if not you, who else will the US harvest? You have already handed over the knife, and you expect someone to shield you?
