Re: Russia is currently under sanctions
I think this is why Putin will be pleased to see us quit.
We won't be able to afford to keep the sanctions, if we don't leave the 2 year negotiation period with an agreement. (And the period can only be extended with unanimous support, somewhat unlikely I think)
Anyone else reckon that all the old historical disagreements will come back to haunt us during this period?
My guess is Spain will block everything unless we give them Gibraltar.
Time to start learning Russian seriously, I think.
