I don't agree with AP on the negotiation side; I doubt that negotiation would achieve much without the deployment of significant carrots and sticks.

What I'm missing from you, despite your efforts to position yourself as an omniscient authority, is any hint of a practical policy suggestion. What, specifically, do you think the US and EU should do at this point? Surely your self appointed authority puts you in a position to make a suggestion, and if it doesn't, what good is it?

If you're talking of "red lines", what exactly should they be and what should be done if (when) they are tested? If we're talking of prices, what specific price do you suggest and how is that price to be imposed?
