Is the European Union (EU) on a suicidal foreign policy path? Maybe. But the purpose is to gain domestic powers to erase the prefix of their proto-imperial project. Only the peasants will pay the price. And they'll damn well suffer in silence for holy ever closer union
While the trajectory of EU diplomacy was a train wreck long before Kallas failed upward, few would argue that it hasn’t been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad 14 months for the Union’s foreign affairs since she assumed her role. Incredibly, the EU now finds itself at loggerheads with essentially every major power in the world, drifting through the global game of geopolitics with no strategy, failing economies, deep resentment at home, and shaky access to crucial energy supplies from abroad.
I don't think this is a disaster from the EU's perspective:
Remember, the EU doesn't care about solving any particular problem. The EU just wants the authority to address the problem, as I noted before Russia invaded Ukraine (again). Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Empire[.]
That pictured EU troika dreams of a foreign policy success like the Soviet Russia achievement in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. The power to negotiate is more important to the EU than the provisions of any deal. That's the strategy. Who in Brussels cares how it affects the peasantry?
