EU 'Rethinks' Trade Deal, Not Its Own Bloody Hands
Deutsche Welle reports the EU is 'rethinking' a trade deal with the UAE over alleged arms sales to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces. The 'bloodshed' in Sudan is, by their account, a sudden revelation. This hand-wringing conveniently sidesteps the EU's own historical and ongoing role in fueling conflicts globally, often by arming the same regimes they later condemn, or simply by looking the other way
when it serves their interests. When did 'alleged' become the standard for moral outrage, especially when Europe's own fingerprints are usually smudged across regional conflicts? One might wonder if this 'rethinking' offers real introspection or just a convenient scapegoat. The EU's track record suggests a selective memory regarding the origins of regional instability, particularly when European
manufacturers have long profited from weaponizing the globe. It appears hypocrisy is a renewable resource in Brussels.
