It seems to me, and I hope this is the case, that the EU is now in the spiteful strident throes of understanding it has marginalized its own damn self. Perhaps getting a glimmer of the probable fact the the US is not going to let the EU and Zelensky Article 5 the US into war with Russia. Perhaps a hint of understanding that Putin was never going to be a pushover, that they are not going to be able to carve up Russia into five areas governed by EU-selected henchmen. Or whatever their plan was.

At least I hope so. My immediate takeaway from this excellent compilation - who cares what Macron says. Now, back to reading!

Nice broccoli. I like broccoli... and artichokes with lemon and butter. :-) We're having broccoli tonight with some salmon.

Vance made a heck of a speech. I liked it. I'm still skeptical about a serious peace being forged during the next 6 months. We'll see. This war is existential for Russia and she has the upper hand. Will ukraine collapse before a peace can be worked out? The Vance speech is at least a step toward acknowledging certain realities. Hammering out practicalities are always difficult.
