Russian Security Council Secretary: “Europe is tired of being a vassal of the US”
French President Emmanuel Macron's proposal to amend the Schengen system shows that Europe is tired of being a vassal of the United States, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said.
Mr. Patrushev recalled that, in the post-war period, all of Western Europe lay in ruins, and its future largely depended on the United States.
"Today, the situation has changed dramatically. The United States not only does not want to invest in Europe, but also wants to extract everything possible from the continent. By threatening with trade wars and sanctions, they are gradually destroying European businesses for the sake of American prosperity," said the Russian Security Council Secretary.
"In the political sphere, the Americans are no less arrogant, lecturing European officials on how to ensure their national interests. At the same time, the whole of Europe is entangled in a network of foreign financial flows that feed various organizations and nerve centers that ensure the implementation of Washington's activities," Patrushev added.
“Therefore, it is not surprising that Europeans are tired of this vassal dependence and want more freedom to make decisions,” he concluded.
