The question is whether or not Brussels has the balls to do this.

They're currently too engrossed in trying to punish the UK and set an example to deter other member states who may be thinking of leaving.

That was Victoria lamenting over the E.U. dragging its feet over sanctions against the Ukraine. However that's not what really surprised us. What surprised us was Russian intelligence services taped and released the conversation.

Russia has its finger almost everywhere.

Well this thread implies that this is a bit of a more general sentiment within the US foreighn policy right now.

And the US exceptionalism in general.
