THE KAMIKAZE IMPACT OF SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA

Today, sanctions against Russia are probably the most counterproductive ever launched, in view of the perilous state of the Eurozone and the globalised nature of the world economy. In 2015 the EU and its core component the Eurozone desperately need as much economic expansion as they can contrive. Instead, they are using their fragile economy as a weapon of war – at the behest of politicians. It is estimated that the EU has lost € 21 billion in exports because of sanctions against Russia.
