EU’s Anti-Russian Sanctions ‘Have Boomeranged Back on Europe’The EU slapped sanctions on Russia because the US wanted Russia to be isolated and confronted by Ukraine that was functioning as a de facto proxy of NATO. All those sanctions, however, have backfired, becoming one of the greatest economic disasters in modern European history.These sanctions, which are designed to punish Russia, have failed to do so. In fact, they've boomeranged back on Europe. And Europe continues to move forward, putting more sanctions into more sanctions, all the while Russia gets stronger economically.As for the US, it is using the sanctions to achieve a larger strategic objective, not only weakening Russia, but weakening Europe, as well, so that America emerges from this conflict stronger.@ScottRitter
