That’s the logic we’ve followed. However we rushed like little kids, making the same mistake putin did with ukraine: we thought by putting enough pressure, russia would explode in a few weeks.
It seems obvious now that the people in charge in EU lacked serious strategical skills. We followed our emotions, did a lot of communication, we made ourselves look good, but ultimately we could end up with the worst of all options: ukraine split in two, and an economical disaster for the whole EU.
Only the US will exit from the crisis with a fantastic improvement (like every time europe starts an internal war).

Well no, the worst option was going to happen, Russia takes over Ukraine, then takes over Transnistra/Modova, solidifies its hold over Belarus, then why not take over Eastern Europe again. Splitting Ukraine and having expensive gas and a recession isn't so bad. Of course taking back Crimea is what we should be aiming for.
