So far Russia's low key response to NATO provocations has been ideal and pure genius. NATO leaders were banking on Russia getting angry and
crazy. Instead they get nothing. Nothing in terms of real impact of their sanctions and no response to their provocations. But Russia makes them
look like total losers. Russia orchestrated the massive shootdown of NATO cruise missiles over Syria. American generals are left spewing retarded
lies that they sent 73 missiles to destroy one facility. The world is laughing.
As for economy you're right answer must be smart. But sanctions will impact money flow from abroad. Especially if clients of Russia will be threatened by US. Thsi is the real challenge to me.Подробнее на ТАСС:According to the department, in January this amount was $ 96.9 billion
TASS, April 16. Russia in February this year, reduced the amount of investments in securities of the US government to $ 93.8 billion in January this amount was $ 96.9 billion, according to the data released by the US Treasury on Monday.
According to the information of the department, for the whole of 2017, Russia made the most of all investments in May - $ 108.7 billion.
At the moment, Russia is on the 16th place among the countries on investments in US government bonds. The first place is occupied by China, which invested $ 1.178 trillion in these assets. In second place is Japan - $ 1.060 trillion. On the third position is Ireland - $ 314 billion.
Foreign states owned in February 2018 US securities for a total of $ 6.292 trillion, while in February 2017 the same figure was $ 6.013 trillion.
Unfortunately, they managed to gain full control of WTO and international trade. Like it or not. So Rusal and all Russian companies will need to take extra measures and develop plan out of this mess by moving away from US. But that is hard when the rest of the world relies on US. I wish it wasn't true but it is, and hence why so few nations back up Russia over this ordeals. They are afraid of being sanctioned too.

The US only has control where the world lets it have control... and that wont change if Russia keeps being their bitch.
Time for change.
Russia should not react to sanctions, they should lead with sanctions against those countries that impose sanctions on Russia... Russia is better off ignoring such countries and looking elsewhere for trade partners... there are plenty. They are not the richest countries in the world but there is plenty of potential.
Keeping sucking up to the US means they keep control and they stay rich... developing with other countries means Russia cannot be controlled by the west and the countries they trade with wont be held back the way the west is trying to hold back Russia... a win win... for everyone except the west.

So even my country India is in the esteemed list of US Treasury
Russia does not devaluate its currency , its currency is not tightly pegged against USD/Euro but is free floating and depending on Oil Price its either strengthens or weakens hope Donald knows that !

So this is a great opportinity to replace these Western back door driven Western Software and Hardware with Russian ones.
I wonder why they did this since 2014 and waited till 2018

With limited resources you need to set priorities. Development office or niche SW takes time, money and people. PErhaps they could move perhaps not. I hope now small companies will receive grants to develop Linux based SW.
