Looking for His glorious appearing! Titus 2:13

In a scathing attack on the transatlantic alliance, Mr.Millon poured scorn on Washington’s influence over Europe, claiming that abandoning Nato would prevent the EU from “bowing to US policy” which does not necessarily line up with its interests.

“It is as though we had returned to the calamitous times of the Warsaw Pact and Pershing missiles in 1979, when the frightened West – the ‘free world’ – took refuge under America’s wings,” he said.

“Political wrangling in Ukraine, for example, is playing out between Russia and the United States directly, completely bypassing the European Union which, in a sense, is actually the source of the turmoil, because of the EU’s desire to integrate Ukraine into its economic sphere.”

In a sop to Vladimir Putin, he added: “Europe’s desire for indefinite expansion and its methods of sizing up Ukraine for its economic area were, at the very least, tactless as well as making no geopolitical sense.”
