Not McCain if he continues to support NATO, W, Condi and all the neocons in DC, on whats' gone on in the Balkans and now in Russias near abroad. They are playing with fire.

We need a foreign policy review pronto.

From article: "Such action would be seen as economic warfare but Russia has been infuriated by Nato meddling in its "backyard". Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov yesterday accused EU diplomats of a "sick imagination".

Hmm. The whole article is a worthy read. Sounds like this measure is in retaliation to foreign investments leaving Russia. Like, um, Russia is holding Europe hostage until/unless foreign investments resume in Russia. Russia's capital markets are entering the freak-out zone.

And, it sounds like Russia government is attempting to dictate to private companies. Not good.

"As Europe, we're 10 times richer than Russia and along with the United States 20 times. I'd prefer if Russia worked together and integrated itself with the wider-known West, but if it comes to confrontation, then it will lose again."

Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski laying out the EU position. He's right.
