Look who's here!
Dmitry Medvedev (Дмитрий Медведев)
Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council

Look who's here! — A wonderful trio at NATO and the European Commission. Mark Rutte, Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas. New and old leaders, each more handsome than the other.
Number one. Mark Rutte, former prime minister of the Netherlands and now NATO secretary general. Quite a peculiar guy. In a relatively short time, this moderate figure, whom I once met at summits, has turned into an inveterate Russophobe and a staunch Atlanticist. We will not speculate on what substances from Amsterdam coffeeshops caused such an abrupt change in his mood. The Dutch are peculiar people even against the background of the rest of free Europe. Ostentatious modesty in everyday life is combined with fury on the political podium. He has been hating our country fiercely for some time. An advocate of ever tougher sanctions. He will faithfully follow the course of the classics of paranoid Atlanticism.
Number two. A familiar old, haggard face - Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen. 65 years old. Bad Belgian-German political grandmother. Looks like a medium-sized Volga roach. During the pandemic, she made a good profit on overpriced Pfizer vaccines. Even the usual liberal "kind sort of men" in the European Commission are wary of her. Especially since her record includes her tenure as German Defense Minister, where she also became the heroine of a corruption scandal involving millions of dollars in contracts with "outside consultants".
Already in line for a disgraceful resignation, but the dried roach does not sink. Since 2019, Ursula has risen to the head of the European Commission, where she manically torments her commissioners with non-binary gender identities. At the same time, she is masochistically devoted to her overseas masters and ready to receive any form of approval offered by the gerontological playboys from Washington. She constantly spews malicious nonsense about Russia, without choosing her words.
Number three. Kaya Kallas, 47 years old. She will become the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, replacing the flabby-faced Borrell. For now, she is the prime minister of a superpower - the formidable Estonia. Such a country has a president to match. Kaja perfectly combined the two most important characteristics of any successful European politician: nuclear Russophobia and endless thirst for profit. While she was screaming hysterically throughout the country about the Russian threat, her hubby Arvo Hallik, one of the owners of a transportation company, was doing business with Russian companies at considerable profit. And for 2022-2023, he made about 1.5 million Euros. By the way, at one time, she invested 350 thousand Euros in her husband's business (according to her version, "borrowed"). When all these facts came to light, and the furious Estonian society tried to call the clever lady to account, she cold-bloodedly lied to the respected public that she "knew nothing, and is very sorry", but she's not resigning anyway. She needs the money. Excellent in the defense of human rights. Author of the famous Nazi phrase "Visiting Europe is not a right, but a privilege".
She is also fearless - she did not hesitate to legalize same-sex marriage in the already demo-graphically failing Estonia. No wonder she is now Ursula von der Leyen's protégé and will soon become her right-hand woman. More seriously, the European freak show is getting steadily more entertaining: the further it goes, the uglier the participants become. We're still waiting for some Pennywise from overseas.
I wish the new appointees all the best. That is - in diplomatic terms - maximum failures and disastrous problems in the exercising of their high power! We will help you in every possible way!
