so Russian expert mirhond---what is your expert opinion on this Interfax release from today?

Interfax 10:54
RUSSIA WILL NOT TOLERATE U.S. SANCTION BLACKMAIL, RESERVES RIGHT TO RETALIATORY MEASURES - FOREIGN MINISTRY

Actually has not the Russian FM been saying this exact wording on all the other sanctions---so when are they finally going to do something about it---oh but wait they cannot without hurting an economy that took a massive hit this morning of over 3% loss in both the Rubel and the Russian stock market.

A lot of oligarchs plus Putin's personal wealth "disappeared" this morning and this is only the beginning.

so mirhond --what was exactly your opinion again on how great the Russian win is in the Crimea?
