E.U. Responds to Russia’s Ukraine Aggression: ‘Harshest Package’ of Sanctions are Coming

The European Union (E.U.) sought to place itself in front of Russia’s territorial ambitions Thursday as it announced the “strongest, the harshest package” of sanctions to punish Moscow for the invasion of Ukraine.

No E.U. military action was promised to bolster the threats of sanctions and trade boycotts after the E.U.’s leading nation Germany only sent 5,000 helmets to Ukraine when they asked for military hardware and ammunition in the face of earlier Russian threats.

Putin is so scared!

[Col Frank Slade]

OH NO MORE SANCTIONS

[VTenigma]

Don’t forget the strongly worded rebuke.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Did Russia do anything while Obama was bombing the snot out of Libya, or trying to take over Egypt, or taking sides in a civil war in Syria? Democrats wanted to be enemies with Russia, and they want it even more now.

Actually, Putin has a problem and the actual invasion might be the result

Germany closed off the pipeline. That is the most important event to date.

[jimmygrace]

Double secret probation! That will cause troops and tanks to be repelled!

[JonPreston]

the harshest package

Package!

[1Old Pro]

Sanctions don’t work. We need to suspend environmental restrictions and gear up our domestic energy programs at every level.

[Sirius Lee]

EU: "Ooooo! I'll give you such a pinch!"

[Vigilanteman]

Next up: Strong condemnation in the United Nations and a request for a resolution on the same. Which Russia will promptly veto if China doesn’t do it first.

[EEGator]

Someone get Hans Blix on the phone!…

[Caipirabob]

Ukraine: So - Another superspreader event where no one is wearing masks?

[joethedrummer]

Oh NO!!!

Sounds like somebody at NATO is about to issue a STRONGLY WORDED LETTER!!!

THAT’LL get Putin quaking in his loafers!

[Leaning Right]

My prediction: The EU will impose sanctions, and some them will be harsh. But over time these sanctions will be lifted as Putin shows progress in protecting human rights.

Of course Putin will not be showing any progress in protecting human rights. But the EU needs Russian energy. So the EU will simply see what it wants to see. Gotta get that Russian gas flowing again before next winter!

They might even use......sarcasm!

[Huskrrrr]

Bringing a peashooter to a gun fight.

[rktman]

If I was in charge, I’d threaten him with justine trueDOH’s emergencies act and freeze rooski bank accounts. That would send a clear message. Then, failing that a trip behind the gym by golly. Meanwhile in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and caulifourneeuh......the invasion continues unabated with nary a mention.

[bert]

Drivel

Putin is not known for human rights violations that I know of.

Germany closed the pipeline already. That is likely more harmful than extra sanctions

[MercyFlush]

Anything less than a total trade embargo is pointless and meaningless.

[wny]

Russia is now on double secret probation
