Si predstavljate, v kakšnem paralelnem svetu mentalne ustanove morajo živeti evropski politiki, da, prvič, verjamejo, da lahko premagajo  Rusijo v Ukrajini oziroma nasploh Rusijo vojaško premagajo in drugič, da težijo Kitajski, naj se postavi na njihovo stran v evropski politiki glede vojne v Ukrajini?! Kitajski zunanji minister Wang Yi je evropski nedonošeni predstavnici za zunanjo politiko Kaji Kallas ponovno dal diplomatsko lekcijo v realpolitičnem razumevanju sveta.

Si predstavljate, kaj bi pomenilo za Kitajsko, če bi Rusija po nekem čudežu res izgubila vojno v Ukrajini ter vojaško in gospodarsko kolapsirala? To pomeni, da bi se sprostili vojaški in finančni resursi za skupen ameriško-evropski pritisk ali celo sprovociran  napad na Kitajsko. Poraz Rusije v Ukrajini pomeni poln ameriški vojaški fokus na Kitajsko. Zato Wang Yi  pravi, da KiItajska ne more dovoliti ruskega poraza v Ukrajini.

Kako prismuknjen moraš biti, da sploh ne pomisliš na to in da greš kitajskemu zunanjemu ministru to celo predlagat?

Crazy to me that over 3 years into the Ukraine war the EU still lives in the same mental Lalaland where they seek to convince China to side with them to defeat Russia. And get surprised when they’re told that, no, China won’t commit geopolitical suicide on their behalf.

Funnily, according to the article, Wang Yi is said to have given Kaja Kallas – the extremely russophobic former Estonian PM who’s now the EU’s foreign affairs chief – several “history lessons and lectures”.

The conversation must have gone something like this: “Kaja, do you think we were born yesterday? Why the hell would we turn hostile to our biggest neighbor and principal partner? And then what, you give us a participation trophy and pat us on the head while you help the Americans contain us next?”

Wang Yi, still according to the article, told Kallas that China wasn’t “materially supporting Russia’s war effort, financially or militarily, insisting that if it was doing so, the conflict would have ended long ago,” which is something Chinese officials have now been repeating for a couple of months and which I suspect is a subtle way of saying “don’t treat us like we’re ‘helping’  Russia because if you do, we might as well help them and then you’ll discover the difference between normal trade and ‘here’s a million drones, unlimited missiles and 2 million PLA soldiers.'”

All of this illustrates once more the terrible strategic situation the EU is in; they’ve somehow achieved the impressive feat of digging a hole for themselves where they’re at odds with all 3 of the world’s great powers. They’re treated as a vassal by an increasingly aggressive Washington, they’re in open conflict with Moscow and they’re getting history lessons from a Chinese foreign minister who’s barely hiding his contempt for their naivety.

And their answer is apparently to vassalize themselves only further to Washington, double down on the war with Moscow and ask Beijing to kindly commit geopolitical suicide on their behalf. Peak EU diplomacy…
