Victimhood

“After all, we experienced first-hand in 1938 what it means to be abandoned," foreign minister Alexander Schallenberg said on Sunday night

Servus!

On Sunday night, foreign minister Alexander Schallenberg appeared on the late night news from Brussels, though as Colette M. Schmidt observed in the Standard, the combination of the evening rain and the street lighting behind him gave the scene a infernal orange glow, making it seem as if he was being beamed in from the pits of Hades. Appropriate, given the interview soon became the professional diplomat’s own personal hell. Reflecting on the Ukraine crisis, Schallenberg mused most unwisely: “After all, we experienced first-hand in 1938 what it means to be abandoned.”
