You know, the Saudis, after decades of animosity towards Tehran, opened an embassy in Tehran.
And that was done with the Chinese working their diplomatic magic behind the scenes.
It was a source of major, major discontentment from Washington, D.C., both under the Biden administration and now under Trump.
But, you know, China has been playing this game very cleverly.
Having said that, let's not give them too much credit for it because, you know, it is as if Washington, D.C.
is doing its best to lose every diplomatic brownie point America has ever won since 1944.
Sadly, I'm saying sadly as a European and a Europeanist who has been observing this European Union of ours sliding steadfastly into an unethical irrelevance.
The moment we...
not we as persons, but as the European Union, went all out to support Israel's genocide in Gaza, we lost every kind of opportunity that ever presented itself to occupy the high moral ground, to open lines of communication with Arab countries, with Israel itself.
Because, you know, Netanyahu looks at the European leaders and sees Lilliputians, that he can do whatever, he can wipe the floor clean with them.
And they may say a few things here and there, but then they will fall into line.
And the moment Israel starts bombarding Iran illegally and criminally, the Europeans, you know, either whistle in the wind or allow the Americans to use their bases, like the British base on Cyprus in Akrotiri,
that Keir Starmer, whatever he might have said against the Donald Trump campaign in Iran, essentially provided to the United States Air Force to launch a sorties against Iran.
So the Europeans have rendered themselves unethically irrelevant yet again.
And, you know, it's...
I have a theory because I was involved in the great euro crisis 10 years ago and beyond that.
It's the euro crisis, the way we misunderstood it.
The powers that be crushed our populations with austerity for the many while printing trillions and trillions of euros for the very few.
We don't have a government.
We have many different governments.
