Herman Achille Van Rompuy, the former Belgium Prime Minister, appointed as a City of London sock puppet head of the EU, endorses sanctions against Russia, because he also endorses the NATO predators who are salivating over war with Russia.

In turn, Russia bans food imports from the EU, and now EU farmers are producing more than the market will bear, which drive the prices for their goods down, and they can't afford to pay the taxes imposed by the parasites within their own country.

Van Rompuy should be wary of farmers with matches around his own home.
