Date: 2018-10-05 02:20 pm (UTC)The phrase "You can't have your cake and eat it too" is really annoying. To have some cake means to eat it. What do you say when you're about to eat some cake? "Yes, I'll have some cake." Have. HAVE. It means to eat the cake, not to save it for later.

It seems like the US, Russia and China all do a lot of very shady shit (and the uk does if it can), but it's hard to punish them. Iirc there were ALREADY sanctions against Russia, I can't even remember what for, just that trump was in favour of dropping them.

Putin makes calculated moves, and so far they haven't been wrong moves. China will buy from Russia, never mind India, so even the EU not buying their gas probably wouldn't do them much harm. And Putin knows the West will do all it can to avoid war with Russia.
Given that, the West's only real alternative is to support those within Russia who're fighting against Putin's gang. For all we know, Putin may already be losing control, and what's been bubbling to the surface of late may be a sign of that. Make your spies go on TV to claim they're not your spies? Really? And how will your other spies view that?
Russians are thoughtful people...
