No, the Euros are dependent on Russian oil, gas, and natural gas, they will not do a single thing in the way of sanctions.

Of course there are.But today,unlike 20...or even 10...years ago,the USSR is an economic power and supplies Europe with much of the oil and gas that it needs.Given how power hungry and fond of the "good old days" of the Soviet Union Vlad Putin is,economic sanctions could set into motion a chain of events that would be very damaging indeed.

IMO.
