News X World:  EU urges Asia to avoid Russian oil

In the past several days various position statements from the European Union and most particularly from its top Foreign Affairs commissioner Kaja Kallas demonstrate that EU leaders are ideologists not practicing politicians where the art of compromise is crucial and pragmatism is the best policy. The latest call by Kallas for Southeast Asian countries not to buy Russian oil at this very moment of the Mideast War, closing of Hormuz has cut off these nations in southeast Asia from their principal supplier and only Russian oil can save their economies.

Kallas, von der Leyen are Russia haters who can find no other unifying cause fot the EU than waging war on Russian. 

Statements such as Kalla’s advice on buying oil only serve to make the EU a geopolitical irrelevancy.

Meanwhile, as I say here in the interview, Europe tramples daily on its own supposed values.  The EU is said to be considering applying sanctions on Israel.  Not for the genocide in Gaza about which the EU is silent to its shame.  Not for the act of aggression in attacking Iran, for which the EU is split, with some applauding the attack and others criticizing it.  But for Israel’s plans to buy Russian wheat.

And there you have it:  the EU Commission has gone mad.

My apologies for the poor audio at the start of this interview, but that is what you get when the broadcaster finds you in a Belgian railway csar.
