I wonder if this was part of the Neocon plan all along, to damage and destroy Europe as a currency competitor and trading bloc? It seemed sheer idiocy to many to impose sanctions on Russia and to act they way the US and Europe did. But the US had nothing to lose with that strategy. Europe did. Common sense tells us that someone with a much needed and in demand commodity will always find a customer no matter what; whereas someone who is in desperate need of that commodity has extremely limited choices of supply and is in a junior position.

That's the thing really isn't it? There has been quiet dissent from some in Germany, as seen by the Der Speigel journalists, in France and Italy too. But Europe has been played by other interests.
