I have been watching the news unfold in the Crimea, with a distinct feeling of unease, as Putins pirate army invokes a “soft annexation” of the Crimea. I would call it theft.
Meanwhile we in the west, in total impotence, watch on .
Does Putin seem bothered by threats of sanctions ?
I don’t think so, after all what can we do. We are powerless to intervene, and all that Obama, Cameron and the other politicians can do, is spout toothless rhetoric.
Who said piracy was restricted to the South China Sea ?
