LONDON
European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen warned on Sunday that “we urgently have to rearm Europe” as leaders from the continent met in London for crisis talks over Ukraine.

Von der Leyen said she would present a “comprehensive plan” at an EU summit on Thursday, adding that “we have to have a surge in defence” and “step up massively”.

“It’s now of utmost importance we increase spending … it’s important we prepare for the worst,” she added.

The leaders had a “good and frank discussion” and talked about the need for security guarantees, said the EU chief.

Addressing US President Donald Trump, she said: “We’re ready together with you to defend democracy, to defend the principle that there’s a rule of law, that you cannot invade your neighbour and bully your neighbour, or you cannot change borders with force”.

“It’s in our common interest that we prevent future wars,” she added.

von der Leyen tok-kok when she said: "... 
the principle that there’s a rule of law, that you cannot invade your neighbour and bully your neighbour, or you cannot change borders with force ...", without even mentioning Israel and its illegal intrusions into Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, Syria etc. What more, what about the Wankees and its misadventures in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria (including stealing oil), etc etc etc?


She makes me sick with her hypocritical sanctimonious kerbau.
