DISINFO: Almost all European countries are subordinate to Washington's interests
SUMMARY
Almost all European countries today are subordinate to the interests of Washington, doomed to complicity in a proxy war with Russia and economic degradation. The national armies have been assigned the role of disenfranchised puppets of the Pentagon.
The reckless expansion of an aggressive military bloc to the east is a strategic and tragic mistake by the West, which will take a long time to manoeuvre and for which it will pay dearly.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the alleged lost sovereignty of the EU and its member states (more examples). Pro-Kremlin outlets often portray European states as vassals, puppet states or colonies of the US and NATO. The article also contains a recurring disinformation narrative portraying NATO as an aggressive organisation, aiming to encircle Russia.
Contrary to the claim, the European Union is a sovereign entity created by the voluntary initiative of European nations.
EU Member States are sovereign countries and make sovereign decisions about their own internal, economic, foreign and security policies. The European Union is explicit on the subject of national sovereignty: “the Member States all remain sovereign and independent states, they have decided to pool some of their 'sovereignty' in areas where it makes sense to work together.” The US is an important ally to the EU but EU policy is not determined by the US.
Read similar disinformation cases claiming that EU and NATO member states are subordinate to the US, while the US has long regarded the EU as a kind of protectorate, that lined up with the US, the EU never took independent decisions, that Europe is a colony of the United States, that When the US orders, the EU complies.
