Russia has spent the past seven years building up formidable financial defences, yet in the long run, its economy is unlikely to withstand the onslaught of coordinated sanctions from the West.

Europe and the United States are raining down reprisals after President Vladimir Putin sent tanks into Ukraine, adding to sanctions already pledged in response to his decision to recognise the independence of two breakaway Ukrainian provinces.

And this is the very reason why the power of Veto is Fucken Bullshit... especially if it bill is about you and you have the power to veto it. There should not be any Veto power if the bill is about you you shouldn't be able veto  it. This also one of the reasons the UN has no teeth and is a fail.

History repeating it self...
