DISINFO: EU is subordinate to Washington
SUMMARY
The [European] Union is a vassal and a subordinate of Washington.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives, accusing the EU of being subordinate to the US and serving Washington’s interests instead of its own.
The European Union is actually a sovereign entity which follows its own foreign policy.
The US is an important ally to the EU but the latter's policy is not determined by the US, as explained by the EU High Representative.
Similar disinformation narratives claim that EU and NATO member states are subordinate to the US, while the US has long regarded the EU as a kind of protectorate, and that lined up with the US, the EU never took independent decisions.
The same article contained another claim that the EU supports terrorists and not the sovereignty of Syria.
