“See how Mr. Putin today is taking us with his propaganda, which can blow (up) the EU from inside,” said Plevneliev. “Whichever crisis you observe, it is related with breaking the rules. The EU is a project for peace. But peace is not only the absence of war, but also human rights and the rule of law. Every crisis begins with breaking the rules,” Plevneliev said. …

Unfortunately, the Bulgarian Presidency is mostly a ceremonial position. But at least he’s been the voice of reason there. As far as Poland goes, you are right, we should thank dear leader obozo. Part of his whole plan of doing the most possible damage to the US.

“Keep repeating them talking points”

Maybe so, but I DO NOT take my orders from the president (any president) regarding who is today’s bad guy.

Should probably wait for warmer weather to get all outraged.

accused Vladimir Putin of planning to destroy the EU from the inside.

They seem to be doing a pretty good job of that themselves.

Except from Vladimir Vladimirovich or may be not directly from him but from FSB/KGB. Another typical tactic from the Stalin era that has filtered down to today’s left here and to Putin’s murzylki. Accuse the others of what you are doing. A word of advice, most posters here, except the occasional dumbocrap plants and Putin’s army of murzylki, do not take orders from anyone. You are making a mistake, projecting the Russian state of mind to the Freepers that don’t think Putin’s the greatest guy in the world. Check out his high heels, for starters.
