Well, yeah. The EU is trying to inflict pain on Russia. Russia is trying to inflict pain on the EU. That’s how adversaries behave. No one should surprised by this.
But the EU is surprised, and oh-so-offended. It’s a childlike response. They fail to understand that punches lead to counterpunches. Trump warned them, but they did not listen.
And I say this with no love of Putin. He’s the one who sent tanks across a sovereign border. He’s a bad guy. But of course he’s not the only one here.

Amazing, isn’t it?
