The EU's Javier Solana: Representing Us All

by Michael G. Mickey

As most of my readers know, the European Union's de facto foreign minister, Dr.Javier Solana, is presently in talks with Iran concerning its nuclear weapons program - this being one of three issues I pointed out may be indicating a historic shift in EU foreign policy is underway that has the EU stepping from beneath the United States' shadow, quietly emerging as a new global superpower, which is its intention to be sure.

What is interesting, however, is to see how the EU is approaching doing things its own way, as exemplified by the words of Solana himself, as seen in a Yahoo News article on the EU's talks with Iran. In the article, he says, concerning the likelihood the United States, which favors sanctions being taken against Iran, will lose patience with the EU's approach to dealing with the Iranian regime, "I don't think our American friends will be losing their patience. We are in the same boat. I am representing them. I am representing all the members of the Security Council. I am representing also the European Union, and I don't have a sense of losing patience."

Once again, we see the European Union's foreign policy chief implying that when the European Union speaks, it is representing us all, even when what the European Union wants has little to nothing to do with what we actually want.

I believe it's safe to say we can expect that pattern to continue, as well as become increasingly obvious, as we near the advent of Antichrist and the Rapture of the Church.
