Some Europeans, especially business people, are starting to freak that they are losing Russian markets to the emerging countries that Russia has turned to owing to sanctions and is not likely to turn back toward Europe when sanctions end.
The emerging world has also pretty much nixed sanctions against Iran and Europe is losing out there, too.
This is not affecting either the US or UK much economically, and many Europeans resent that they are being asked to foot the bill for Anglo-American policy.
Angela Merkel has taken it on herself to both hold the coalition together and also blunt the US rush to war, which is unpopular in Europe and Merkel herself fears more than the coalition falling apart.
The loner this situation lasts the more issues will bubble up, and no one expects the crisis to be resolved anytime soon, putting pressure on the Atlantic alliance itself.
