The embargo has run out. The Russian are crying wolf. Poor lads. They only mean it so well.

They're crying wolf with S-300s. This can only end well...

Anyone else think this 'peace conference' with the US and Russia is going to be a complete waste of time and money?

Even if good intention lived for just one day, it nevertheless has lived.

Point is there are no good intentions involved at all.

Can any of the western countries (NATO) actually afford to send arms in the quantities that would be needed?
