The EU has been far too weak, much stronger sanctions are required.
Merkel needs to grow a pair, the one European leader Putin might listen to.

Which is exactly why Merkel is sitting on her hands, and doing bugger all.
So much for a strong and united EU response.

Who can blame him, he is having to dealing with a political schizophrenic on his doorstep.

Don't worry, David Cameron has banned the export of a wide range of sanitaryware, bathroom fixtures and plumbing supplies in response to Russian sanctions.

Then his economy will simply collapse in a quivering heap,..... why do you think he hasn't done that so far? He needs the EU market, remember, the EU can buy its gas from elsewhere ( maybe a few quid more expensive),... whereas Russia will find it much harder to find new buyers to pick up the slack and keep his economy going.

The UK are only imposing sanctions because the US told us to .
Hope Huilo does that. In fact we really need to sanction Gazprom now, and do it for him.
His economy will dissolve, and he'll be left fleeing to Zimbabwe with as much gold as his plane will carry.
Nonsense. The US wanted us involved in Syria and we declined.

Russia has signed a multi billion dollar order for Gazprom with China for the next 30 years .

Cameroon and Haig wanted to , but it got declined in parliament , a good old democratic result
He He. It's a political deal. The Chinese drove such a hard bargain that they are getting it for pretty much cost of production price. Still, it 'looks good' for Putin to have this 'success'.
The World cup in Russia won't happen if sanctions prevent the global sponsorship deals.

Which is heavily weighted in China's favour.
