The EU s disunity leaves it impotent and weak The EU s blend of arrogance and incompetence invites predatory behaviour from the enemies of the West. 9 April 2021 • 6:00am One of his frustrations at dealing with international crises, former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger once remarked, was that he knew who was making the decisions in Moscow or Beijing, but “who should I call if I want to call Europe?” The EU believes that it has answered his question. Brussels now has an embryonic common security and foreign policy. It has a foreign affairs chief, Josep Borrell, and its own diplomatic service and network of embassies. It even poses as a power equivalent to the United States or China, worthy of its own representation in international forums. But the humiliation of EU Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, at the hands of Turkey’s President Erdogan exposes the EU’s claims to foreign policy unity to be a sham.
