Seems that informational conflict arises, since, I suppose, no reasonable diplomat would say such word unconsciously.
Europeans spend most of their time negotiating and talking among themselves and with their “allies” like the US. They behave as though the world outside of the West doesn’t matter or even doesn’t exist. They pat each other on the back, tell each other how smart they are, they come to agreements among themselves about how the world should be, announce it to the world and are surprised and shocked when the rest of the world is not impressed or interested and does not want to go along with their “genius ideas”. In effect what they do is not diplomacy but a big circlejerk.
And they don’t understand why this behavior is alienating the world and because they don’t understand it they are getting more and more angry. They live in the ultimate self-absorbed bubble. At least the US due to the fact that it is an empire is forced to interact with and at least try and understand the rest of the world, if only to devise plans to better dominate it.
EU is so far in their “always the same map” bubble that they completely lost the plot now, and Germany is the prime example of it. Reminder that they didn’t said anything when US blown up their strategic pipeline and even now when the ostensibly accepted version is that Ukraine did it, they are STILL not saying anything but sending even more weapons and money.
And, if I remember correctly, US spied highest politicians, including A. Merkel? With no serious consequences? Germany has many analogies to Japan :)
You underestimate the sheer stupidity and lack of diplomatic acumen of Anna-Lena Baerbock.
Truly what the fuck is going on in Germany. The government is all over the place constantly, with one officially saying one thing, while someone se saying something entirely different.
Kindergarten diplomatic level
some incredible kindergarten takes from lemmy libs to go along with kindergarten level diplomacy from the west :) https://lemmy.ml/post/5167947
Their minds are not even a salad but a slop at this point.
I think this person may have heard of the term “dictatorship of the proletariat” and then fundamentally misunderstood it.
The part I’m curious to see is how far western collapse will have to progress before these people stop being smug.
They will just turn from smug fash into angry nazis.
Chen Weihua charging his laser as we speak.
Remind me again, how long was Merkel in power?
it’s different you see
