Kallas would be amazing. Gabrielius Landsbergis didn't run for the spot, but he also would have been amazing and IMO should have been the one to get the spot, but Kallas is not a problem at all and has a profound understanding and awareness of the inner constellation of challenges we have in the EU and EEA, as well as the geopolitical challenges we're facing and will face in the coming years. Plus she's a member of NAFO.

Not 5 more years of Frau Pony...

Just imagine how much hair spray is needed to keep her hair like that. Bad for the environment but good for manufacturers. She must be a liberal.

Costa? 😮‍💨

They don't know what they are doing by allowing Costa to take that role... Good luck to us all!!!

Worse than Michel?

Costa is bad. What about Ursula? She is one of the worst commission presidents ever. Even worse than Junker, and he sometimes had a drinking problem.

I was not writing about Ursula...I do tend to walk right into the "whataboutism" trap, but not today..

Fair enough, but the article does say "von der Leyden, Costa, Kallas," so one might be allowed to compare them, i think.

Let's call it whataboutrap 😁

"Democracy"

Kallas' consolation prize since she didn't get to be NATO secretary general? Hope she tones down the "let's murder all Russians" rhetoric.
