Nord Stream 2 being cancelled sounded far fetched. Until suddenly it wasn’t. Sanctioning too Ru heads of state was also unexpected but happened today. Banning Russia from SWIFT was called a “nuclear option” and seemed impossible due to Italy and Germany being against it. That was this morning and this evening it’s already decided. There was talk about the Refugee crisis once again showing division and lack of solidarity in the EU. Instead states have opened their borders completely. If anything, the EU leadership I think looks like it’s showing a very uncharacteristic decisiveness and speed.
