What a game of Chess this is becoming second guessing the next move! The West though should freeze every single Russian billionaires bank account immediately for starters then make plans to pull the plug on Russian energy even if it takes time or an alternative supply is more expensive. The new pipeline from Russia to Germany should be left to rot!

Bullies like Putin should not get the media attention they crave so all news reporting should be stopped. Those poor citizens in Ukraine deserve better than the aggression and threats! I wonder whether countries like Germany will stay solid when Russia supply 80% of their energy? I certainly hope so as otherwise NATO becomes irrelevant and weak!
