The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

"The 2016 decision to exit the European Union has been nothing short of an economic disaster... It’s a bigger hit than if every bank, brokerage firm and hedge fund in London were suddenly to disappear." ~AA
👏🏽"The President and the Brexiteers share a fear of strangers... Trade, in [Trump's] view, is other countries draining our wallets. Immigration is other people stealing our jobs. International treaties are handcuffs limiting sovereignty." 🎯~AA

Farage had to come out hiding early because Tice tried to defend him earlier & libelled the target of Farage’s vicious anti-semitism. Rarely have two people deserved each other more.

Here Farage is leveraging his LBC slot to give that message a big fat boost.
That’s in 2018 and AFTER Russia had unlawfully and by force annexed 🇺🇦’s Crimea …and had been continuing to deploy Wagner troops in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.
Utterly risible.

Nigel Farage using his LBC studio access to appear on Alex Jones Infowars in 2018 + claim EU response to Syria was because "the globalists have wanted to have some form of conflict with Russia as an argument from Brussels to surrender our national sovereignty and give it up to a higher global level"
