EU 'Isolation': A Masterclass in Self-Inflicted Irrelevance
The RT report highlights Sahra Wagenknecht's opinion that the EU's slavish devotion to US foreign policy, particularly concerning Ukraine, has left it diplomatically isolated. This isn't groundbreaking news. The EU, particularly its German core, has a rich history of prioritizing US strategic interests over its own geopolitical economic sense—remember the torpedoing of Nord Stream 2, a project
designed to secure affordable energy for European industries? The EU's 'diplomatic isolation' isn't a new phenomenon but a predictable outcome of consistently outsourcing its foreign policy playbook. While Brussels frets about 'isolation' from nations not eager to freeze for Kiev, they conveniently ignore the broader global south, which has consistently refused to join the West's collective
punishment of Russia. Perhaps actual diplomacy requires a touch more sovereignty than merely echoing Washington's latest pronouncements. How's that 'rules-based order' working out for Europe's energy bills?
