With the world and its Mum attributing a good part of the recent German economic decline to the lack of business with Russia after the sanctions, Herr Seibert is either:

  • b) to be applauded for his sense of principle
  • c) just plain misguided/stubborn

Unclear whether this is a personal view or that of the German govt/Merkel who he represents.

Seibert - Crisis what crisis?
