Do
the various sanctions being levied against the Russian Federation by the United
States and its European Union allies not qualify as acts of war?
Will
Russia be justified in taking drastic actions to protect itself and its peoples
from economic, social and political strangulation?
Is
there a duty on Russia to ensure that its retaliation is commensurate with the
sanctions levied? Or will it be justified in taking any and all measures its
leadership deems fit?
Should
it not suffice as a cause of worry for those imposing these sanctions that each new set of sanctions,
increases President Vladimir Putin’s popularity and approval rating with the
Russian population?
Where
does sub-Saharan Africa fit in this entire fast developing scenario. What can we get from it (presuming most of those foisted over the continent as rulers have a thinking cap to put on).
We
sure do live in interesting and perilous times.
