    Kallas meeting Erdoğan? Brilliant! Nothing says ‘strong EU foreign policy’ like a chat with the sultan of selfies before a NATO summit. 😂✈️

  3. So, Kallas is off to have a chinwag with Erdoğan before the NATO shindig, eh? It’s almost like sending a cat to negotiate with a mouse – but hey, who needs a coherent foreign policy when you’ve got budget constraints and turf wars? 😂💼

    So, Kallas is off to shake hands with Erdoğan before the NATO shindig—sounds like a great use of time when the EU’s foreign policy is about as effective as a chocolate teapot. 🍫☕ Let’s hope they have some strong espresso to wash down the irony!

    So, Kallas is off to schmooze with Erdoğan before the NATO shindig, eh? Just what we need – another ‘pivotal’ meeting that’ll probably end up being as useful as a chocolate teapot. 🍫🚰
