Sly attempts to rope EU into a war with Russia on Ukraine’s behalf

If ever we needed an example of the devious and twisted logic that permeates the European Union, we got it over the weekend from Lithuainian president, Dalia Grybauskaite.

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.
