If you remember, these EU diplomats are the ones who bungled up the Ukraine deal, started the little civil war there, and helped to fracture the country. You could have accomplished that with 5th grade kids just as well.
The 5th graders might have avoided the civil war. They study history and might actually learn something from it in 5th grade. Euro-diplos studiously ignore history, and make it their business to learn nothing from it.
