The European Union is run by idiots and scoundrels. They’re actually thinking about putting sanctions on Asian countries over their business ties to Russia.

The EU may introduce trade restrictions on some Central Asian countries over what officials believe is assistance in helping Russia circumvent Western sanctions imposed over its military operation in Ukraine, The Telegraph reported on Friday, citing a confidential paper.
Officials in Brussels who monitor trade flows to Moscow have reportedly detected an increase of up to 80% in turnover of consumer goods between EU member states and Central Asian countries.
The upsurge is reportedly related to EU exports of goods that contain so-called “dual-use” technologies, which have both military and civilian applications. Items of this kind, which include washing machines, used cars, and cameras, are among those the EU has prohibited exporting to Russia.
The bloc will restrict access to its market for Asian nations that are seen as Russia’s traditional allies if evidence that goods are being re-exported to the sanction-hit country is found.
Considering how badly sanctions on Russia blew up in their face, you’d think they’d chill out for a bit, but there is no chill with these people.
All they’re doing is isolating themselves from the rest of the world which is rapidly moving towards doing business deals with Russia and China. It’s only going to bring more financial ruin and destruction to Europe.
