I am deeply disturbed at all of the "rule of law for thee, not for me" that the Russian sanctions have brought to the surface. It was bad enough when the UK, which has very strict laws on fighting for foreign nations and paramilitaries, said they'd ignore their own citizens going over to fight. This is a different league all together.
