STOCKHOLM, August 08. /ITAR-TASS/. Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said on Friday he was deeply concerned about the European Union’s security following Russia's ban on imports from the West.

“There is no doubt that the situation is extremely worrying,” Bildt told Radio Sweden. “This is the most worrying situation in European security policy I have ever had to face for quite a long period of time - 25 years.”

On Thursday, Russia announced suspension of food imports from Norway, Canada, Australia, the United States and the 28-nation European Union worth billions of dollars in retaliation for sanctions imposed by those nations in recent weeks over events in Ukraine.

The ban, targeting cheese, fish, beef, pork, fruit, vegetables and dairy products over the next 12 months, is expected to seriously affect Western economies.

Combined with other import bans imposed earlier this year, the new trade measures cover Western imports worth $9.1 billion in 2013, according to Russian customs data. Exports of sanctioned products from Europe to Russia were worth $6.5 billion last year.

So it was fine when Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt was calling for tougher sanctions on Russia, along with his Polish wannabe American buddy, Radoslaw Sikorski, but he's whining about sanctions imposed by Russia?

What a pack of hypocrites.  Bildt was among those calling for 'tougher' sanctions on Russia.

Take it like a man, Bildt.  Surely it's no more than expected.  Don't play coy now.

As for worried about 'security', get real.  What he's worried about is money.

Politics is always about the money.  Follow the money.

Check out the theatrics and the dishonesty of these politicians.
