Telegraph: Reports the following Moscow reaction to the Western sanctions, " Russia risks new Cold War, Western leaders warn, as Putin prepares to swallow Crimea ".
Lets Get Real:
It seems from the article that tomorrow is the start of the new cold war 2, Putin is to address the Russian Parliament tomorrow were it is expected he will formally take Crimea in to the Russian Federation. Thus the West will have to increase its sanctions on Russia, otherwise they will look weak and will be seen as following a policy of appeasing Putin, very much like the West did in the 1930s with Hitler. The BIG question is will Putin stop at the Crimea, or does plan to take over the Eastern Ukraine, that is a open question, the West has to man up and make it clear to Moscow that there are some red lines that can not be crossed no matter the results for the West. At the end of the day this is about freedom, if its ALL about money what is the point.
