couldnt agree more, to me the EU's inaction is due to financial issues.
War or action against Russia would basically mean a massive world recession - Britain doesnt want to act because Russian companies are now listing in London to gain world acceptance and Germany (under Schroeder i believe?) has pipeline and diplomatic links with Russia that limits Merkel to words...
To me the best the EU/NATO could do here is commit itself to utterly cutting off Russian oil/gas within 20 years.
