When flight ML17 suddenly crashed over Ukraine, 295 innocent passengers lost their lives. No country accepts any responsibility for this crash even though pro-Russian rebels have made sure that no evidence lingers which could incriminate them or Russia !
Now, more than a week later, EU politicians are bickering amongst themselves of what should or should not be done to punish Russia and Putin, the prime suspects !
The bickering has revealed that no EU leader wants to stop his country's bi-lateral trade with Russia ! Germany, France and Great Britain all import Gas from Russia, some even sell armaments to Russia, and several other countries also have a healthy balance of trade with Russia, particularly Germany.
The basic fear is that Sanctions could lead to another World War in Europe, particularly if Russia then decides to invade Ukraine. Russia would have a direct frontier with the EU if ultimately Ukraine joins the EU, which is the avowed aim of Ukraine !
This saga will lengthen. Putin will wait his time and analyse the bickering and cold bloodedly act when the snow falls in mid-winter !
