Now we know who really
pulls those big ropes behind the scenes, and also on the stage of the UN
Security Council: Luxembourg is reshaping the world map. In concert of course
with the other indispensable nation, Qatar.
So Russia annexes Crimea,
but we won’t recognize the annexation. However we proclaim in the strongest
terms that Crimea is de facto not part of the Ukraine? Oh, I understand the playbook
from 1939: Peace has been saved until 2024. Then we discuss maybe if Crimea as
a part of Russia is a part of Russia. From here on we could use the unparalleled
negotiation skills of our new-found good friends in Iran to bring the US and
Russia together. And by the way, the invasion of Irak and Tony Blair: Bad. The
invasion of Crimea: must be good by contrast.
Now there are many more
international problems to tackle. My suggested to-do list (without wanting to
start a WW III) for Luxembourg’s Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn:
- The Falklands are part of Argentina
- The Malvinas are part of the UK
- China is part of Tibet
- Tibet owns the Spratly Islands
- Kashmir I don’t know, let me check the map, but there is something
- Cyprus is … let’s ask an Ayatollah
- Québec is only de facto part of Canada
- Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Salvador, and Nicaragua are de facto part of the US
- Thionville, Arlon, and Bitburg are de facto part of Luxembourg.
- Let’s talk a bit more about Flanders, Wallonia, Corsica, South Soudan, East Prussia, Macedonia, Gaza, Trieste, and the Pitcairn Island.
