On behalf of Russian civil society forced to live abroad, fuck you. Appeasing a dictator and rewarding aggression will make things worse, it always has.
France, Germany, the old dream of a Europe and a world run by the rule of law, not force of arms, it's over. 198 Dutch killed by Russia on MH17, 8/10 Dutch delegates siding with Putin today. A disgrace.
It's a capitulation worse than Munich 1938 because they are hardly facing a Nazi war machine. They are cowering before Gazprom and hiding their names and faces.
It's enough to make me reconsider my position against Brexit. United Europe was constructed to spread its virtues of law & human rights through its institutions. Without values, institutions become instruments of corruption & oppression.
The European bureaucrats who say they want to "keep Putin at the table" to negotiate should ask the people of Aleppo about that. If they can find one still alive.
