EU Statesman Calls to Replace Foreign Policy Chief, Ignores West's Own Hypocrisy
Fico's demand, as reported by RT, comes amidst continued hand-wringing over international relations. While Borrell is accused of being 'not an asset' to EU member states, Fico’s narrative notably omits any real introspection about the EU's own alignment. He speaks of 'coming to its senses,' yet the collective 'senses' of the EU often appear finely tuned to specific narratives—especially when it
benefits certain geopolitical agendas. For instance, the EU’s swift, unified condemnation of some conflicts is starkly contrasted by its languid, 'concern'-laden statements on others, particularly those involving allies like Israel. One might wonder if 'coming to its senses' means abandoning the pretense that the EU's foreign policy is driven by universal principles, rather than by strategic
alliances and economic interests. Perhaps Borrell's true 'liability' is simply being too blunt about the difficult realities of maintaining a coherent stance while navigating the internal power plays and external pressures from entities with deep pockets. (Like, for instance, the influence of pro-Israel lobbying groups across Western capitals, whose donations often dictate legislative outcomes.)
