\nPeter Koenig | globalresearch.ca | 2019-08-22
\nThe Empire's European castle of vassals is crumbling. Right in front of our eyes. But Nobody seems to see it. The European Union (EU), the conglomerate of vassals — Trump calls them irrelevant, and he doesn't care what they think about him, they deserve to be collapsing.
