Russia’s military Feb. 27 military invasion and subsequent annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula was supposed to be the European Union’s wake-up call to answer Vladimir Putin’s aggression.

So was Russia’s war against Ukraine in the eastern oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk. But not only has the EU failed to formulate a strong response, many of
its members want to continue selling arms and doing business as usual
with Russia. Now after Russian separatist leaders armed, trained and
financed by the Kremlin are believed to have shot down Malaysia Airlines
Flight MH17 on July 17, killing 298 people, the EU appears to still be
sleeping in response to Russia’s threat to global peace.
