Sly attempts to rope EU into a war with Russia on Ukraine’s behalf
Speaking about the situation in Ukraine, Ms Grybauskaite said: “It is the fact that Russia is in a war state against Ukraine. That means it is in a state of war against a country which would like to be closely integrated with the EU. Practically, Russia is in a state of war against Europe.”
Leave aside, for a moment, the fact that the Ukrainian government only sought closer ties after Europe and the US supported the overthrow of the previous government, which was democratically elected.
Ms Grybauskaite’s attempt to rope Europe into a war with Russia by tenuously connecting Ukraine and the EU is dangerous and inflammatory.
Having fomented the overthrow of an ‘uncooperative’ Ukrainian government through insidious means, we now have EU leaders attempting to whip up support for military action in a country that is not an EU member state.
Is this the sort of Europe that citizens want? I would suggest not, based on the record-low percentage of voters who turned out for the recent EU elections.
Yet we get one arrogant and hypocritical statement after another emanating from EU politicians, demonising Russia, while lauding its own actions in supporting the overthrow of a democratically elected Ukrainian government.
The fact that leaders throughout Europe appear willing to risk all-out war in order to expand the EU’s sphere of influence gives an indication of just what the EU is now. One of the arguments that is often put forward by advocates of a united Europe is that closer integration has stopped wars in Europe.
However, we see now that since the EU has evolved from a community of countries into a self-perpetuating, power-hungry organisation, the risk of war on an even greater scale has increased.
