The EU has received another embarrassing lesson in international power broking.The Russians said
Russia praised the European Union on Tuesday for taking a "responsible approach" to its conflict with Georgia by declining to impose sanctions on Moscow but said the EU had failed to understand its reasons for intervening.
Translated this means:
Good boy, glad you decided to see sense and keep your insignificant noses out of our business, in future don't mess in things you don't understand.
they also said
Ahead of a visit by U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney to U.S. allies in the region, a Kremlin aide said he expected Washington would also opt against imposing sanctions.
Translated this means:
Just to show you how strong a hand we hold over all of you with all those energy supplies, we are prepared to let the yanks (The only really big players on the world stage) know we wont be pushed around by them either.
In short this is nothing less than a declaration that the Russians are not going to take any notice at all of the EU showing the world what a totally insignificant sham it really is.
Our guess is the EU will hang the UK out to dry with gormless Gordon carry on playing the international strongman , whilst they all pretend its all OK with the Russians and quietly forget all about those silly old sanctions.
Just wait and see.
