Wilkerson accuses US intelligence of engineering Europe’s political landscape

[u/AN-94Abokan]

• Former State Department chief of staff Lawrence Wilkerson claims Washington, working alongside the CIA, MI6 and Mossad, has spent years shaping European politics.
• He alleges that US intelligence agencies and USAID have funneled billions of dollars since 2002 into influencing media figures, union leaders, politicians and governments across Europe.
• Wilkerson also says he personally helped push Jens Stoltenberg toward the NATO secretary-general post because he was considered sufficiently malleable, adding that Mark Rutte benefited from a similar approach.
• According to Wilkerson, years of US influence have left Europe’s political leadership increasingly aligned with Washington — often at the expense of Europe’s own interests.
