Personally I find it very worrying that the UK government/politicians (probably other govts too, but the article refers only about London/UK) are trying to protect the short term economic interest of an exile elite over the sovereignty of Ukraine. Without wanting to jump to conclusions from a one-page document, this shows how convoluted and undemocratic "democratic" governments are.
- vixen99 13y agoWhat about the extensive British investment interests in Russia? They have little to do with an exile elite. Reading around, a number of sources point out that sanctions in general are highly unlikely to influence Russia. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance/jeremywarner/100026745/so-russia-is-going-to-abandon-the-dollar-as-a-reserve-currency-good-luck-with-that-one/ http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance/jeremywarner/100026745/... in which what would be the point and who pays?
- antr 13y ago"What about the extensive British investment interests in Russia?" Well, Britain is one country in a trading block of +28 countries, so the photographed agenda is a position of one EU member state, not all. In this type of situations, not everybody is a winner. In government and finance this is called "political risk", and investments in Russia are priced accordingly.
