Josep Borrell, the European countries’ high-level representative for foreign affairs, made a comment that surprised everyone. His speech revealed the colonial mentality. He described Europe as a beautiful garden and the rest of the world as a dirty jungle.
Josep Borrell says that Europe is a beautiful garden where there is economic prosperity, social convergence, and political freedom. The rest of the world, except Europe, is a dirty jungle.
Josep Borrell also said that the rest of the world could attack Europe. Therefore, European leaders should increase exchanges with the rest of the world. As well as giving them a clear understanding of Europe’s policies.
Joseph’s comments show colonial mentality, racist behavior, and white supremacy. His comments show that the West is superior and the rest of the world inferior.
Of course, such behavior in Europe is not new. This can only be understood by analyzing the language used by the West to invade Afghanistan and Iraq. The West imposed a terrible war there in the name of establishing so-called democracy.
Britain has withdrawn from the European Union. Turkey was not allowed to join the European Union due to various reasons. EU leaders have failed to play a strong role in the Russia-Ukraine war.
The European Union wants to isolate Russia from the rest of the world. In doing so, they are putting themselves in danger. On the other hand, the European Union is not able to independently implement its policies due to the dominance of the United States.
Europe’s nationalist leaders want to implement their own policies instead of finding solutions through the European Union. On the other hand, people like Joseph Borrell want to see to it that European peace and democracy are not undermined by the rest of the world.
The European Union has yet to maintain a common position on the Russia issue. Analysts believe that they themselves are going to become chaotic gardens due to internal conflicts.
