Europe Must Relearn Diplomacy
Evarist Bartolo and Glenn Diesen
Evarist Bartolo is Malta's former Minister for European & Foreign Affairs. Bartolo discusses how European leaders do not address other countries as equals and have forgotten how to do diplomacy.
Right, and the European, actually the Norwegian opinion must also relearn diplomacy - and peace responsibility. Having read Diesen´s article in Aftenposten, I looked at the comments, 50, 60, until enough was enough. Everyone simply seemed to be russophobically indoctrinated. "Diesen was an Russian agent" etc. How stupid, ignorant and unvarnished can a politically correct streamlined mob mass be!
But it also struck me: Can their 100 pct loyality to their imperialists also be explained by the fact that they expect to share in their war booty, currently in Ukraine - well, that is - as long as they themselves are protected in their comfort zones?
Why?, Europe is the pinacle of diplomatic relations savour faire in the persons of Kaya Kallas and Baerbock, Why should it change?
These two grotesque things each time they open their mouths, they breach 300 years of Westphalian painstakingly learned diplomatic langue and manners. They are just plain rude.
Diplomacy once was a state corps, nowadays any animal may pose as ambassador or foreign minister. Moreover we see today that sense is no more, what counts is the number of sound bites you may produce to the public.
