CLASSICAL GREECE OR POSTMODERN STRASSBURG?
Yesterday we were presented a tale of two cities, two events that represent the past, the present and the future. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave a historical and inspirational speech from Pnyx Hill, the site of the classical Athens Assembly, against the backdrop of the Acropolis. At the EU's second headquarters in Strassburg (an issue by itself we won't get into) a less uplifting image was on display. One image painted a picture of a bright future based on past greatness and heroics based on national sovereignty, the other was one of the most based examples of what nihilism has to offer. The contrast could not be starker. You can watch Rubio's entire speech here .
