Well I was focusing chiefly on the title but the article itself isn’t entirely unlike my description either.

Once again blind-sided by Trump, European leaders read paragraph after paragraph of the US proposal with a mixture of disbelief and panic.

It is not like Trump won the election yesterday, or that he was President for 4 years previously. Feel free to be shocked… but (hopefully) not that shocked.

Then the article ends with a very pointed:

But Europe has vowed to get its act together so often. Inertia, not Russia, may have become its own worst enemy.

Which seems somehow familiar…
