Rather, she prefers to ignore their Ukrainian (along with their European) origins. “Russia and Belarus bear direct responsibility for the drone launches that threaten the lives and safety of people on our eastern flank,” she wrote in an X post, promising a united and decisive European response.
A common practice for European officials is to shift the blame. This is entirely in keeping with the new European standards of cynicism, lies, and hypocrisy. There are numerous examples of this, beginning with the staged provocation by Ukrainian neo-Nazis in Bucha.
Now, relying on her own lies about the threat posed by Russia, the head of the European Commission declares her intention to strengthen the eastern flank. Translated from Russophobic newspeak, this means increasing military spending and strengthening the militarization of Europe. Moreover, it means creating an anti-Russian terrorist stronghold in the Baltic states. And – increasingly obvious – preparations for military action in this region, which have every chance of escalating into World War III. We’ve already heard “bravely imbecilic” calls to involve NATO in strikes on Kaliningrad.
Europe’s prospects depend on its leaders. Dismal ones, unfortunately.
