DISINFO: Since Napoleon and Hitler, EU has attempted to attack Russia

SUMMARY

The 19th and 20th centuries have shown clearly that as soon as the European Union was under one leadership – whether Napoleon or Hitler – it launched a “Drang nach Osten” – the first thing that comes to mind is an attack against Russia.

RESPONSE

The European Union did not exist during neither Napoleon's or Hitler's rule."Drang nach Osten" (German: thrust towards the East) was a term coined in the 19th century to designate German expansion into Slavic lands. The EU never attacked Russia nor have any of its Member States signalled any intentions to do so.
