"Do as I say, not as I do" David Cameron. -Yahoo/AFP
Britain is still selling weapons to Russia despite promises to stop selling arms to the country. Yahoo/AFP The items being sold include sniper rifles, body armor, small arms ammunition, communications equipment and cryptography equipment. This comes after Prime Minster David Cameron criticized France for not canceling the sale of a Minstral-class aircraft carrier to Russia.
My Comment:
Fairly hypocritical of the UK government. You can't criticize France for doing the same thing that they are doing themselves. It's just another example of money trumping ideology. Canceling these contracts would cost British companies money, so nothing will happen. It also shows me that neither France or Britain are all that concerned about those weapons being turned against NATO.
These sanctions are a joke anyways. Europe and Russia are dependent on each other and any sanctions that did major damage to Russia would hurt Europe just as much, if not more.
