    > “The masks are off,” Dmitriev wrote. “U.K. and EU warmongers are showing how deeply anti-Trump they really are. They tried to hide it for a long time, but now everyone can see it.”

    So…what are they really saying here? This war is about being loyal to Trump? That other countries are either for this war or against Trump? Are they speaking to Trump when they say this, so he frames it this way? Since when do leaders from other countries need to show deference to Trump? Since when is he leader of Earth that requires compliance?

      Probably trying to drive a wedge between Trump amd the EU, wormtongue-style, in the hopes of having Trump lift more sanctions or punishing Ukraine through some other means in retaliation.
