(725 posts)have had a negative impact but not enough to destroy Russia, which is the goal. Hence the next weapon in the economic warfare toolkit, driving down oil prices which the US has EVERYTHING to do with. What do you think John Kerry was discussing with with the Saudis? BTW, when Syria was about to blow up in the most dangerous way, Prince Bandar went to Moscow to see Putin. He told Putin that if Russia would cease it's support for Syria, he (Bandar) would guarantee there would be no terrorist attacks at the Sochi Olympics, following with "because we (the Saudis) control them (Chechen terrorists)". A week or two ago I read an article where Strobe Talbott made a veiled threat to Russia that they could be expecting trouble from Chechnya in the near future.
This is serious economic warfare intended to destroy the Russian Federation and return them to the Yeltsin free-for-all when billionaire oligarchs were made by looting all of the public assets. THAT is why there is so much shilling going on demonizing Russians and Putin, who Russians overwhelmingly support. Economic warfare of this magnitude has a very high likelihood of becoming a full blown world war (good for business, bad for living things). The OP is nothing short of disgusting with it's gloating tone over something so serious and immoral. Sounds like Sean Hannity. YooEssAy! Uhrah, kick some ass, it's the American way, we'll fuck you up if you refuse to capitulate to The Hegemon. Only this is not Iraq or Libya or Syria. This is a nuclear power. It is TOTALLY fucked up and nothing to be happy about it. You think a lot of people died in Iraq, well how about a world war because that's what's coming if certain factions have their way. The same people who wanted war in the middle east are the same ones behind this.
