EU's foreign policy apparatus is being dangerously dominated by a coterie of deranged Baltic hawks (unherd.com)

real leopard ate my face moment. For decades europe and usa pushed anti communism in the baltics by supporting fascists and now they are surprised that the crypto fascists want a war with russia.

I don't think that either the European or the US elites are in any way upset or surprised by this.

Von der Leyen, Rutte, Kallas, they were picked for leadership positions in NATO and the EU precisely because they are the most unhinged warmongering fascists who will push Europe into open war with Russia, and drag us into the coming war on China too. Giving disproportionate power to these chihuahua states is a great way to give the impression that the tail is wagging the dog.

In that sense it's not really a "leopards ate my face" moment, more a "feature not a bug" situation.
