Farce is a regular feature of international relations. It can be gaudy and lurid, dressed up in all manner of outfits. It can adopt an absurd visage that renders the subject comical and lacking in credibility. That subject is the European Union, that curious collective of cobbled, sometimes erratic nation states that has pretensions of having a foreign policy, hints at having a security policy and yearns for a cohering enemy.With its pre-emptive attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities and much civilian infrastructure besides, Israel is being treated as a delicate matter. Condemnation of its attacks as a violation of Article…

Europe’s migration problem on its southern borders has been developing for decades. It has reached a crisis. In an effort to stem the flow of refugees, the EU is begun shifting responsibility to third countries – primarily African states which already face instability.The clearest example of what these policies have led to is Libya. Roughly 4 million African migrants live there with no legal status – more than half of the country’s official population of 7.5 million. Left in chaos after Western/NATO military intervention, Libya has become a launching platform for millions hoping to reach European shores.Yet, Libya is not…

The United States, under the reckless leadership of President Donald Trump, and the Zionist regime in Israel have once again exposed their imperialist and racist agenda through unprovoked military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities on June 22, 2025. These attacks, launched without Congressional approval or UN Security Council authorization, violate the UN Charter, international law, and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The European Union’s shameful silence in failing to condemn Israel’s surprise attack on Iran further reveals the colonialist double standards that underpin Western foreign policy, treating non-Western nations like Iran as inferior and expendable.
