‘Western dominance has ended’, EU foreign-policy chief admits, warning of ‘West against the Rest’ geopolitics
The European Union's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, admitted that the
I just want to be clear here....are the only positions he recognizes "Western dominance" vs "West against the rest?" Is equal standing really that alien to him?
From the article: "Borrell is known for sporadically making frank comments, admitting inconvenient truths that most European diplomats leave unsaid."
Ah yes, like the inconvenient truth that Europe is a garden and that the garden must be careful that the jungle not encroach upon it. I'm glad they're acknowledging that European diplomats at least think it even if they don't say it; we all knew this was the case but at least they're not pretending otherwise anymore.
Also from the article: "The wars in Ukraine and Gaza, along with the anti-colonial uprisings in Africa’s Sahel region, have “significantly increased this risk” of Europe becoming geopolitically irrelevant, Borrell said, lamenting that “Russia has managed to take advantage of the situation”."
Imagine that, treating other nations with dignity and respect being popular with them. These creatures that dwell in the global South are really enticed by respect and cooperation, it's so amazing how similar they are to the rest of us; do you think maybe they're secretly human beings? We have so much in common, we should really send some scientists to take samples of them and to study them deeply. And those pesky Russians, taking advantage of the fact that we treat (and think of) those in the global South like dirt; they're exploiting the fact that we're awful.
Also, here's a thought, perhaps if you put in your own efforts to oppose neocolonialism, you'd find more eager allies.
How has it become so strange to these people that treating countries in the global South as human beings would make them more amenable; are European governments really this divorced from the human race?
The Gardener has an inherently racist outlook that places the west above the rest of humanity and he sees it as an absolute tragedy that western dominance over the world is coming to an end.
Is equal standing really that alien to him?
White supremacy is baked so deeply into the institutions and elites of the west that they simply cannot fathom anything else.
Lmfao colonial attitudes never left Europe. They see Russia respecting countries' sovereignty and they cry "they're taking advantage!"
They can't think in terms other than subjugation, control, and consumption, all tenets of whiteness and capitalism. It's all a zero sum game where they have to change the rules to make things benefit them and only them.
Worst part is that there's no self reflection, no "okay we might be wrong", they just continue to drag everyone down with them instead.
Crackers really are the worst fucking kind of people lmao.
yeah, we pissed our pants and russia is laughing at us! they're just there, laughing!
I hope it means EU will now seek an equal relationship with AES countries and stop polishing US' boots.
That would require having sovereignty which EU does not have.
Nah, it will take time for this to sink in the population. Their racism and bigotry will still make them think they can tell others how to live, for many years to come. The media will also try to keep this mentality alive for as long as possible.
