That's just how governments or even professionals functions. They all know it's bullshit but they still need to follow all protocols, use the correct terms etc. Civil servants being the worst examples of this.You're kidding right? People absolutely believe the US is some paragon of virtue. Not necessarily governments but the laypeople certainly need the hypocrisy pointed out to them. MOFA's condemnation would be forgotten about in a news cycle but mocking the US would be remembered and speak louder than platitudes.
Edit: Imagine this. The MOFA, instead of waffling on about morality, said "Hey Europe, nice treaty ally you got there. All this time, you helped Uncle Sam eat smaller powers and never once considered you yourselves might end up on the menu?"
Do you know one reason the so called establishment hates Trump so much? It's not necessarily his ideas are wrong (Biden seems to enjoy copying them). It's coz he doesn't follow government protocol and does things his way. This term he gets less resistance coz he hires only loyalists but now is more familiar with government protocol.
When you put put a formal statement, it's official and can be used against you. Just look at Japan.
Don't go on LinkedIn posts. Your head would explode.
