In March 1999, NATO started to bomb Serbia. In June, thanks to int. mediation Serb forces moved out of Kosovo. It was a mix of lies&dumping arms. I followed the war closely&was disgusted by the twisting of facts. btw Milosevic only left in Nov. 2000. Now old scars open up again

The Venezuelan crisis dominated EU foreign policy agenda in 2018. Then: Sanctions, sanctions and courting Mr. Guaido as a sort of "parallel president". Four years later: it is all about oil; the intimate "tu" instead of "usted" Mitterrand&Chirac would have been more sophisticated

Discretion & confidentiality are crucial for a genuine diplomatic conversation. But how to build trust if nearly everyone enjoys leaking confidential conversations to the press Macron does it, Trudeau does it... but others are not amused, and for good reasons.

Trudeau literally can’t even walk after Xi Jinping publicly FLOGS him over leaking their private meeting to the press

@RnaudBertrand Truly not a good idea to travel in tandem, France&EU. For VDL déjà-vu of ignorance of basic protocol Recalling childhood memories of her father’s visit to China might not suffice For Macron: His monologues reflected ignorance of how guests should act

@M_T_Franz Es ist zwar knallhart, täglicher Kampf, Wasser und Stromversorgung, Dauerstreik etc aber trotz aller Probleme bin ich fast erleichtert, im Libanon zu sein. Alles viel normaler, freier und auch sicherer. Verrückt! Europa wird wieder zum Kontinent der Emigration, war es fast immer

@Trollstoy88 Special respects to Elvira Nabiullina, head of the Russian Central Bank. Professional, calm and like many Russians these days with nerves of steel. Her unorthodox methods proved right.

„If contrary to Blinken’s denial, the US provided guidance for the missile attack, then Washington must be well aware that this brings NATO forces to brink of direct involvement in the Ukraine war and the Biden administration must be prepared to run that risk.“ A clear diagnosis
