In this case, the sarcasm is intended to confuse, and with some readers it achieves a little more confusion than intended. kamma could have written something like "the EU should solve <really difficult problems> before concerning itself with <simpler problenm>" but that would have made clear that the really difficult problems are really difficult. The sarcasm is rhetorical device to distract the readers so they won't pay attention to the different levels of difficulty. Handwaving, basically, and the handwaving was a little too strong and distracted some readers too much. |

That's why we want attention on the hard problems instead of million small insignificant non-problems.
