We have all witnessed how Donald Trump’s administration, the self-proclaimed authoritarian unleashing violence, racism, abuse and imperialism, has gone berserk. Even if it is clear what type of an accused convict president we are dealing with, the saddest matter to watch is how EU politicians are bending the knee to Trump.
One of the first leaders I would purchase kneepads is French President Emmanuel Macron. After criticizing Trump about tariffs, the US president leaked a letter by him where he wrote that he agrees with what he is doing in Syria and “we can do great things in Iran.”
Let’s not forget kneepads for NATO chief Mark Rutte, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, her vice president, Kaja Kallas, and a long list of other EU leaders who have turned a blind eye on the atrocities and war crimes in Gaza. Since I live in Finland, I would purchase kneepads for President Alexander Stubb and Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen.
The most Trumpian party in Finland is the Perussuomalaiset (PS)*. PS MP Laura Huhtasaari, who has openly supported Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán, openly said that the US is the only country that can guarantee Greenland’s security.
Apart from the PS, the National Coalition Party led by Stubb, Valtonen and Prime Minister Petteri Orpo are the most subervient to Trump, who could slap them in the face and then Stubb would ask if he wants to play golf.
Good advice for the EU: The best way to deal with the Russian threat is to negotiate directly with Moscow. Sabre-rattling and threatening with a crumbling NATO will not do it. Where is Finland’s foreign policy heading after NATO?
California Governor Gavin Newsom is one of Donald Trump’s biggest critics. “He is a T.rex. If you don’t mate with him you’ll be devoured.”
