I..the world..knew that Putin held the currency 'dumping' card.
but I certainly never expected him to play it. but play it he has: sanction us and we will dump your currency, triggering a world wide dump of the currency.
the real looooonacy in the mix is the behaviour of Obama/Kerry. they have no power at all yet look at their behaviour in the world..bullying everyone, dropping bombs, killing by the thousands every friggin' day.
they literally pushed the rest of the world into this kind of action...put the back of the rest of the world up against the last wall with no option but to fight back with the card available..the destruction of the american economy

Russia is unlikely to pull back its military forces in Ukraine's Crimean peninsula, analysts and former Obama administration officials say, forcing the United States and Europe into a more limited strategy of trying to prevent President Vladimir Putin from making advances elsewhere in the former Soviet republic.

It's an unsettling scenario for President Barack Obama, who is under pressure to show he has leverage over Putin in a deepening conflict between East and West. The threat of economic sanctions, along with a series of modest measures that include canceling trade talks with Moscow and suspending plans to attend an international summit in Russia, have so far done little to persuade the Russian leader to pull his forces back from Crimea.
"I'm not optimistic they're going to leave," said Michael McFaul, who served as Obama's ambassador to Russia until just last week.

Putin's fast and defiant dismissal of Obama's threats sparked a new round of criticism from the White House's Republican opponents. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., accused Obama of having "a feckless foreign policy in which nobody believes in America's strength anymore."
Obama and his advisers insist they still have an array of options at their disposal, the most stringent being economic sanctions that could go into effect as early as this week. The European Union appears to be treading more cautiously, but the bloc's 28 leaders are set to decide on initial sanctions at an emergency meeting in Brussels on Thursday.
But even with tough economic penalties, some regional analysts say it may already be too late to reverse course in Crimea.
