Politico: Russia may not have invaded Ukraine but for Brexit, says EU’s Verhofstadt
Belgian MEP adds that ‘a united Europe, certainly on defense matters, would make an enormous difference’ in fight against Putin.
A “stronger and united Europe” — i.e., one with the United Kingdom still in the EU — could have been enough to dissuade Vladimir Putin from his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
That was the bold claim made by Guy Verhofstadt, the Belgian MEP and former European Parliament point man on Brexit, in a radio interview Tuesday.
Verhofstadt told LBC that the “brutal invasion” by Russia “has nothing to do with the extension of NATO, it has nothing to do with … the European Union. It’s really an attempt by Putin to restore the old Soviet Union.”

Trump: Putin Forced Into Invading Ukraine by Biden
"I think he was sort of forced in by the statements being made by Biden."
Bidumb the weakling displayed aggression and cowardice at the same time. Not a good combination.
He's a stinky poopoo head....
What does that say about the impotence of the rest of the EU if that were true?
That is a 3 year old's description of Biden, but it is accurate.
