Another case of the USA accusing Russia of something which it’s guilty of themselves, weakening the EU

Another case of the USA accusing Russia of something which it’s guilty of themselves. It wasn’t Russia that created millions of refugees from the Middle East & North Africa or destabilised Ukraine by installing a neo-fascist right wing government.

But the most serious affect the USA has made on the EU are the sanctions against Russia which the EU foolishly followed. Hitting EU exports/trade in a highly detrimental manner. Bear in mind the USA’s trade with Russia was negligible and despite the sanctions, the USA continued to buy Russian rockets which they were incapable of manufacturing themselves. There was also an intention to replace Russian gas/oil exports with more expensive USA shale gas/oil before the drop in oil price made that impossible

US to investigate Russian efforts to weaken EU

US intelligence agencies are to conduct a major investigation into how the Kremlin is trying to divide and weaken the EU, The Telegraph reported.

On Saturday (16 January) the British newspaper published an exclusive report according to which James Clapper, the US Director of National Intelligence, was instructed by the US Congress to conduct a major investigation of clandestine Russian funding of European parties over the last decade.

Washington is reported to be concerned about Moscow’s determination to exploit European disunity in order to undermine NATO, block US missile defence programmes and revoke the EU sanctions on Russia imposed after the annexation of Crimea.

A dossier of “Russian influence activity” identified Russian influence operations running in France, the Netherlands, Hungary as well as Austria and the Czech Republic.

The US intelligence review will examine whether Russian security services are funding parties and charities with the intent of “undermining political cohesion”. Officials declined to name such parties, but it is thought likely to include far-right groups including Jobbik in Hungary, Golden Dawn in Greece, the Northern League in Italy, and France’s Front National which received a €9 million loan from a Russian bank in 2014.
