Fw: The political Eurovision

Imagine a conversation between the new EU president and the US president. The US leader proposes to his European colleague the adoption of a common position on the situation in ... say, DR Congo (also recently discussed here). Or if you like, Afghanistan (LOL, very chewed lately), or Somalia, Iran, Belarus, you name it. "Sure thing", the new EU leader says, "but let me have a few consultations first". Then he hangs up and goes on a phone spree, making at least 27 other phone calls, possibly in several languages. An apocalyptic effort, isn't it?
