Is Mick Wallace really that bad?

    74% of MEPs voted, slaviishly, to increase, in fact fabricate, accusations against Russia.

    Wallace.....call him a scruffy, floppy haired fool, refused to acquiesce.

    The man would not vote in favour of this farce while all those around him did..

    Perhaps this belongs on CA.IMHO, but my talk is about the man. I respect his motives. And that is not political.

    Wallace:

    “The U.S. does have a vested interest in driving a wedge between the EU and Russia – a financial one. And sadly right now, the EU lacks the courage to stand up to the Americans and follow their own best interests,” commented Wallace.

    “The vote against Russia was no surprise,” he added. “The anti-Russia rhetoric has been growing for over two years now. It is primarily driven by the U.S. which has found it easy to persuade some EU members states to dance to their bidding. Obviously, the Baltic states are more than willing to comply, as is Poland, the Scandinavians and some Eastern European countries.”

    However, Wallace contended that the majority vote is largely meaningless in practical reality.

    He said: “It’s important to remember that while many of the German and French MEPs are voting with the Baltic states, Poland etcetera, it amounts to a bit of game-playing for them, rather than serious intent. Especially for the Germans who see the sense of having a good relationship with Russia, but with their own elections coming up, now is not the time to be making that argument.”
