Sputnik — US, EU Concerned Over Russia's Import Substitution Program

The United States and the European Union expressed their concern over Russia's import substitution policies during a session of Investment Measures (TRIMS) Committee of the World Trade Organization (WTO), a source familiar with the negotiations told RIA Novosti.
According to the source, the United States and the European Union were concerned over Moscow requiring priority for Russian-made products for state purchases.
Sour grapes. These people really are clueless. Did they think that Russia was just going to roll over?

What is really concerning is that they may so clueless as to stumble into provoking a war with Russia through stupidity and that war could go nuclear very easily.

During Putin's Q&A yesterday, there were Russian farmers begging Putin to make the sanctions permanent !!!

It's almost like the working class doesn't like free trade ? Who knew ?

Ha ha. Guess who the laugh is on.

And Schaeuble is talking about how the EU can hold on sanctions as long as the economy is strong enough — as the house is collapsing.
