1. Holy crap, I’m not usually a fan of Borrell, but yeah, obvious is obvious, isn’t it?

   1. Yeah, not what we expect to hear from him.

      “Europe is a garden and the rest of the world is a jungle.” ~Borrell, 10/13/2023

      1. He is a dick, but he lets truth seep out occasionally. This was after genocide Joe claimed we were rescuing democracy, which the faithful ate up.
         Previously:

         The European Union’s top foreign-policy official Josep Borrell admitted the West’s new cold war on China and Russia is not a conflict of “democracies vs. authoritarians,” conceding, “On our side, there are a lot of authoritarian regimes.”
         The top EU diplomat instead recognized that the new cold war is a struggle in which economic “systems are in rivalry,” and that most of the Global South “do not want to be forced to take sides in this geopolitical competition,” because “they feel that the global system does not deliver,” and “because they blame us.”
         Borrell said the international political order is in a period of “messy multipolarity,” describing it as “a world of radical uncertainty,” where the “speed and scope of change is exceptional.”…In this same speech, Borrell confessed, “Our prosperity was based on China and Russia.” He acknowledged that the West’s neoliberal economic model was “based on cheap energy coming from Russia,” “access to the big China market,” and low-paid Chinese workers.

   2. He knows the ICJ judgement is imminent and doesn’t want the stain on his CV.

      1. I thought the same Robert, although I find it difficult to believe there is any teeth in the ruling.

         1. Still, to be enrolled in history with Himler & co. is not a distinction that sits well with N. Europe, nor his own children.

   3. Yes, but shouldn’t he concentrate on his own little garden gnomes selling horrific weapons to Israel? Perhaps send angry notes to Schultzi, Macrony, and others to make them stop?

      1. Of course. But saying shit outloud about the absolute duplicity of the US claiming its heart breaks over the slaughter of civilians, while providing the most to fund it unconditionally, helps in the land of propaganda. It puts a crack in the suspension of disbelief and I am posting it to the faithful whose daily novenas are “St. Joe is a decent man”.

      2. The lapdogs are secondary.

2. EU’s Top Diplomat Slams US for Continuing to Arm Israel

   That’s the first and hopefully not the last rebel statement of Borrell…!

3. If you believe a genocide is being committed you should not be discussing whether or not to arm the genocidal maniacs and deplore your inability to talk sense to them while doing so. You should (and are actually obliged to) intervene and stop it or if you can’t or won’t at a minimum arm the victims against the perpetrators. Borrell was, is and is expected to remain without any sort of defendable incertitude part of the problem. His only redeeming quality that as a European he is a largely irrelevant nuisance.

   1. Any Port in a storm and any help, when all turn away is a radical and courageous endeavor…!!!!!!!
      Thank You Josep Borrell for stepping forward when no one else had the insight or courage to out this genocide of women and children as the horrendous crime beyond ignorance & forgivenes

      1. I guess you have point there. It goes even for Josep Borrell in those extremely rare moments when his dim bulb lights up that it would be proper to commend him for it. I’m afraid though the faint flickering there is not of a lasting kind if past experience is to offer us some guidance.

4. Borrell will soon find himself out of a job the yanks don`t take criticism of their foreign policy lightly and as the EU Elite are nothing but American LACKEYS they will do as they are told .

5. Nice to see someone SOMEWHERE wake up and smell the scorched flesh and hear the cries of the children that Israel is “ERASING”. Too bad no one is doing anything to put a stop to it except the Yemenites. They certainly have shown moral superiority and true grit…!!!!!!! I think I should add that they have shown unparalleled. bravery admits a world of cowards and. moral midgets. Perhaps Imran Khan would have put an end to the slaughter, had the U.S. not arranged his demise. He has the the moral fiber, but is now serving a ten year sentence for leaking the cable of the U.S. plot to depose him. A Crime in Pakistan apparently.

   1. “shown moral superiority” Yes, let’s fire on defenseless merchant ships regardless who owns them or where they are heading. That is your definition of moral superiority?

      1. It is indeed morally superior, by infinite infinities, to the West who are collectively supporting and facilitating genocide. And by an unbridgeable distance to the Israeli and their evil possessed Zionist supporters. But this is the fate of the morally superior: to stand against evil means you stand alone.
         And their actions are effective if only to be judged by the likes of you whining about it so pathetically.

         1. “And their actions are effective if only to be judged by the likes of you whining about it so pathetically” Wow, you judge the effectiveness of actions based on people “whining” about it? In that case, Israel counter offensive is extremely effective based on number of people like you who are whining about it.

            1. You’re tedious.

            2. “counter offensive”

               Cute description. You’d think there was a war going on.

            3. It is not a war. It is a genocide in process aided by the West with weapons and what passes for diplomacy these days punctuated with acts of resistance, equal in heroism to the Warsaw ghetto uprising against their genocidal occupier, answered much the same way the nazis used to there, by the Israeli by taking revenge on defenceless Palestinian women and children mostly.

            4. You can call it that, but I am not in any way embarrassed to be ‘whining’ about genocide. Though you should be much more than be embarrassed about cheering this ultimate evil on. You should be ashamed to the point of melting into a puddle of concentrated vileness. Though I would not wish upon you the same fate you so unencumberedly wish upon other humans you seem not to regard as such.

      2. Only ships going to the ethnic cleansers and/or ships owned by the USUK (who voluntarily painted a target on ourselves) are being targeted.

         1. How do you know that, especially given that even the Houthis make no such claim of restricted targeting?

            1. https://www.timesofisrael.com/houthis-claim-they-dont-seek-to-attack-ships-beyond-those-tied-to-israel/amp/

               This is from when they started… once the USUK started attacking them, they broadened the target list.

            2. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68218901.amp

               BBC story, same:

               “The Houthis – a Hamas ally – regard all Israeli, US and British ships as legitimate targets following Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza. They claim they are only targeting vessels with links to these countries.”

         2. Except that is not true. Multiple ships have been fired on that are not involved. For example the Zografia a Greek own ship going from Vietnam to Suez.

      3. Do you purposely ignore their stated intention?

         1. It does not matter what there intentions are, they have fired on ships that have nothing to do with the conflict.

            1. Target practice. Remember, practice makes perfect, something you should have learned from Mom.

            2. It matters to people that have a shred of empathy. Their crime is miniscule compared to the crime being perpetrated on the people of Gaza with a large majority of those people having nothing to do with the conflict.

            3. Hasn’t Israel fired on many Palestinians who have nothing to do with Hamas? Oh wait I forgot your a fascist and pro collective punishment…unless it comes to shipping????

            4. Civilians always suffer for the evils that politicians,leaders,and generals do. Gazans voted Hams into power,and rejoiced as the innocent Israeli captives were paraded before them.

            5. Less than half the Palestinians alive in Gaza today were around for that election. Of the rest a significant percentage didn’t vote for Hamas. Get out of here with your fascist collective punishment BS. You are a viscous human and should be ashamed of yourself.

            6. Hasn’t Israel fired on many Palestinians who have nothing to do with Hamas? Oh wait I forgot your a fascist and pro collective punishment…unless it comes to shipping????

      4. Those Palestinians can get bent, but will someone think of the cargo ships, amirite?

6. Borrell is worried about being tried for war crimes. Just a CYA on his part. By the way – Borrell spent a few summers in his youth on a kibbutz. Hmmmm

   ICJ report on Genocide scheduled for 26.Feb

   1. I don`t think anything will come of it once the yanks start threatening sanctions ect ect , threaten some ones financial stability and they will fold every time , self preservation wins every time and to hell with every one else.

      1. De-dollarization 😀

   2. Did the ICJ ever prosecute Arab terrorists-HA

      1. The ICJ doesn’t “prosecute.” It adjudicates complaints made by states against other states, or by the UN General Assembly against states. The ICC conducts “prosecutions.”

      2. Guess no one thinks there is enough evidence to bring a lawsuit against ‘Arab Terror’ at the ICJ.

         Seems your narrative just fell apart

         1. The state of Israel could presumably bring an ICJ suit against the state of Palestine. But doing that would entail acknowledging that the state of Palestine exists.

            1. A state called Palestine does not currently exist.

            2. 135 states that recognize the state of Palestine disagree with you. So does the UN, of which the state of Palestine is an observer state, as well as Interpol and the International Criminal Court, of which Palestine is a member state.

            3. Where’s the capitol? Where is the governing body located? What type of government does it have? Who is the leader? Who chooses the leader? Does this state have a military? Does it have a civil service?

               Yes, I understand that people want there to be a state of Palestine (I am one of them), but that doesn’t change the fact the it does not currently exist specifically because Israel doesn’t want it to exist.

            4. I don’t know where it’s capitol is. Its proclaimed capital is Jerusalem, but that conflicts with its borders as set in UNR 181. Its actual administrative center is in Ramallah. Its government is a “unitary semi-presidential republic.” Its president is Mahmoud Abbas, its prime minister is Mohammad Shtayyeh, and its parliamentary speaker is Aziz Dweik. Its civil service numbers about 160,000 employees. Its military (the Palestinian Security Services), excluding civilian employees and Hamas troops in Gaza, numbers about 30,000, about the size of Belgium’s.

            5. Those are all leaders of the Palestinian authority not the government of a contiguous Palestinian state. I guess that might be a distinction without a difference.

            6. I’m not sure what being “contiguous” has to do with it. The Russian Federation isn’t contiguous (ever heard of Kaliningrad?). Does that mean it’s not a real state?

               The officials and organs of the Palestinian Authority are also the officials and organs of the state of Palestine. Which, IMO, is not necessarily a good thing. But it’s still a fact.

            7. You are right that exclaves are a thing, but then what is Gaza? An exclave with a completely different government than the West Bank? Also, the PA doesn’t have meaningful control of any territory as Israel can operate with impunity in the West Bank. Doesn’t seem like much of a state other other than in name only. At best we could say it as an occupied state with a puppet government.

            8. Good point – the Likud would by recognizing the state of Palestine would violate its own 1977 charter.

               Can‘t have that

7. Has the EU changed their policies? How many EU Nations are sending money/weapons to Israel? How many EU Nations, are making speech criticizing Israel, a Crime? When is the EU going to send food, energy, water, medical supplies to GAZA?

8. Wait to Trump becomes President and cuts funding to NATO. These same clowns attacking the US will be begging for the USA to continue to protect them.

   1. Protect them from us?

      1. LOL. Yea, sure. There is a big country headed by a dictator for life who would loved to break up the EU and control directly or indirectly a dozen of those countries.

         1. Must be the same country we mock for being a gas station with nukes with an incompetent army that can’t subdue tiny Ukraine. Of course, when we want to feed the MIC, then he is another Hitler with intentions of reconstructing the USSR and taking over the entirety of Europe.

            1. Two sides to the same coin.

            2. Can’t fix the Stupid…

            3. Can’t fix the Stupid…

9. The political class is made up of those people who were class presidents an the like in high school. In my case they were mediocre smiley idiots unable to see the obvious.

10. Oh look, this fool who called Europe a garden and brown people a jungle and armed the notsees in Ukraine is trying to burnish his image.

11. Since before the creation of the State of Israel,Europe’s policy was mainly to disarm Israel, and arm her enemies.Britain armed the Egyptian and Jordanian armies;the RAF flew recons for the Egyptian army while they attacked Israel. The British turned over forts to the Jordanian army.During the days when the USSR sent mega weapons to the Arabs,so one said boo. Don’t; give squat for what Europe thinks.
