He said the EU would be discussing "appropriate measures" with its partners.

Where do you suppose they'll hold the discussions? I do so hope they'll at least give them decent accommodations at the finest luxury hotels. And of course only the finest food for the hard members of the UN Security Counsel. And of course they'll all need hazard pay. And limousine service to and from the chartered jets.

#3 SAME > IIUC CHINA ANTAGONIST VIETNAM SIMILARLY RECOGNIZES THE NEED FOR HAVING A STRONG AND MODERN ARMED FORCES, ESPEC AS PER NAVAL POWER TO BE THE TIP OF NATIONAL ECONOMIC STRENGTH.

#6 Wasn't it Einstein who said
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results?"

So let's hear that the UN will impose stricter sanctions, and write a new resolution.

Result? NOTHING
