David Cameron is blackmailing Europe, Vladimir Putin claims

www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/17/vladimir-putin-accuses-david-cameron-blackmailing-europe-by-calling-referendum This article by the guardian is about the politician of Russia Vladimir Putin suggesting David Cameron initiated the vote to leave Europe named "Brexit" as a way to threaten the rest of Europe by weakening Europe. This response of Putin was likely made because David Cameron is now against leaving Europe. This article was made by the Guardian which is a UK based news outlet, this news may be covered by them to show UK viewers the opinions of the UK from outside sources of Europe, which makes it relevant to the UK, The Guardian responding to this statement made by Putin may be an attempt by the Guardian, a left wing news outlet, to shed some negativity on leaving Europe, as it suggests the intent to leave Europe came from a reason that does not concern the benefits of leaving Europe, In my opinion I do think that Brexit started as a way to Blackmail Europe, as the threat could bring some benefits to stay in Europe to give the incentive to let them stay.
