Obama dictating European Union to isolate Russia: Analyst

“With a supine EU technocracy groveling for ever more privileges, Washington knows that it can dictate a set of policies that in the final analysis cannot be considered to benefit the Europeans' best interests,” Develay says.

US President Barack Obama’s warning to Britain over the consequences of leaving the European Union (EU) reveals Washington’s plan to dominate EU nations and isolate Russia, says an international human rights lawyer.

Obama on Friday warned London that leaving the EU would send it to the back of the “queue” in terms of trade deal with the US.

Speaking in a joint press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron on Friday, the US president said the “special relationship” between the two countries makes the Brexit “a matter of deep interest to the United States.”

In an interview with Press TV on Friday, Arno Develay, a human rights lawyer in Paris, said that EU leaders’ thirst for more privileges has allowed the US to dictate them what to do.

“With a supine EU technocracy groveling for ever more privileges, Washington knows that it can dictate a set of policies that in the final analysis cannot be considered to benefit the Europeans' best interests,” he noted.

“These injunctions coming from Washington aim to have their Brussels underling participate in the isolation of Russia,” he added.

“If this set of policies does not yield the desired result(s) fast enough, then Washington is perfectly willing to up the ante as is currently being done by massing troops at the western border of the Russian Federation,” Develay continued.

He further noted that in the eyes of “special interests,” only a military confrontation with Russia would pave the way for major investments that can be used to rebuild Europe.

That is why, he said, the US and its NATO allies have been deploying troops and weaponry to Russia's borders. 

“If the Europeans do not wake up from their slumber, they could very well become the proverbial sacrificial lambs on Washington's altar of global, full-spectrum dominance,” the analyst concluded.

Obama arrived in London on April 21 to tell Britons that issues such as terrorism, migration and economic slowdowns could be tackled more successfully with the UK in the EU.

His comments infuriated anti-EU campaigners who accused the US president of interfering in internal UK politics.

Britons will head to the polls on June 23 to decide on their country’s future in the European Union.
