Quote: chissitt "Given that the European Union is made up of 27 different Countries it's hardly surprising they have taken the leading roll in sanctioning the Russians, also on the list is the second and third biggest countries in the world Canada and the USA, as well as Australia the 6th biggest
biggest country, do you genuinely believe we as a nation can compete with these countries, or is your chart in place specifically to make the country look bad.'"
Are you seriously suggesting that the size of a country makes any difference to whether you apply sanctions or not? Why are Australia and Canada, with much smaller populations, so high on the chart by this silly metric?
It's also incomprehensible to suggest that anyone is "competing" to impose sanctions. It's either something you do, because it's the right thing to do, or something you don't do.
And if you're a weak, compromised government of a country which has become reliant on Russian money and whose standing is already massively eroded then perhaps that explains the UK's embarrassing, and internationally ridiculed, lack of action.
I do note you acknowledge the power of the noticably united EU coming together as one of the leading voices in this. At least that bit, and how important the EU is in maintaining peace and stability and influence, finally seems to be sinking in.
