I'll punish you by starving myself!

A quote from one of the news summaries found on Open Europe today:

"Russia also announced a ban on some fruit and vegetables imports from Poland, and is considering expanding the ban to the entire EU."

I doubt that Putin will do without his fruits and vegetables and cares little for the plight of the common Russian citizen.  He must make his point and apparently this is the way he wants to make it.  Of course the US has "punished Cuba" for decades by denying American cigar smokers the pleasure of imbibing in the world's finest cigars.
