Re: It's official - Russian enter Crimea
You and I can see that it is in Europe's interest to act quickly and decisively, but invariably, a few European countries tend to see it differently for any number of reasons.
In my experience, getting NATO &/or the EU to act quickly and decisively is like herding cats.If the US and Europe stand firm with sanctions, this seems a reasonable prediction. A concern is that some nations (aka, France) might provide under the table support to the Russian economy.
Even though these are just economic and diplomatic sanctions, it's in the west's/NATO's/Europe's best interests to act quickly and decisively.
