Irrelevant Europe Wants In

I would have thought the European “Powers” would be too busy trying to fight Russia to worry about events elsewhere in the world. But apparently defeating the world’s foremost military power and dealing with an ongoing foreign invasion isn’t sufficient occupation for Clown World’s puppet politicos.

Now that Donald Trump’s peace deal has the green light, European powers want a seat at the table. As the news broke that Israel and Hamas had agreed the first phase of a ceasefire plan, French President Emmanuel Macron sent a rapid call out to other European allies and Arab nations to meet in Paris.

British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul both broke away from a U.K.-hosted summit on the Western Balkans to meet fellow ministers in France.

[…] The trio of countries known as the “E3” is likely to argue for a representative on the “Board of Peace,” the body that will oversee the transitional governance of Gaza by a Palestinian committee.

Why would anyone in the Middle East give even a fraction of a quantum of a damn about what “the E3” has to say about the transitional governance of Gaza? What, precisely, have Britain, France, or Germany done to bring about peace, or war, or for that matter, anything at all in the Middle East for the last 30 years?

This is like Ecuador, The Maldives, and a flock of penguins from Antarctica demanding a seat at the table. And the demand should be taken about as seriously.
