Makes the Oprah interview look like the Spanish Inquisition lol:
“BERLIN — For a politician under fire, Josep Borrell was a picture of calm last month as he peered down the cameras at a live global audience eager to hear Europe’s foreign policy chief explain himself.
But then Borrell, not long back from a Moscow trip widely described as a humiliation, knew he had little to fear from his questioners this time around.
Following a lengthy round of thank yous and declarations of admiration, Kempe’s colleague, Benjamin Haddad, got down to brass tacks and asked an actual question, of a sort:
“High Representative Borrell, you’ve been in the job now for 15 months, you’re the third high representative of the European Union. This is still, I would say, a new position and I would love first to hear your reflections about this mission you’re charged with…,” Haddad, director of the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center, said.
By the time the think-tankers dared address the elephant in the room — Russia — 20 minutes had gone by. “
Utterly pathetic
