> Not to mention the fact that these sanctions are going to make poor people starve. This seems a very likely outcome. The EU obviously has no other "weapon" than sanctions. In my view, it has become a social media popularity contest. Let's punish everyone in Russia financially so maybe there will be an uprising. And, let's top it up with a free for all hunt on the assets of oligarchs. Is it anything else than the popularity contest playing out? Maybe it's ultimately like you say: about control of the oil and gas coming from Russia. |

No one focuses on this, but that's what WW1 and WW2 were always about. The eastern theatre was the most active one and it still is.
The EU should just increase its defensive capabilities and call it a day.
Make Poland and the Baltics the new red-line/frontier.
