It is also very interesting that this recent sanction imposed on Russia has occurred almost right after the launching of a $100 billion New Development Bank (NDB) operated by the BRICS states (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) in July 15, 2014. And I think that the new BRICS bank is very likely a hidden catalyst (or at least one of the reasons) for the imposing of the sanction against Russia by the US. Why, you ask?
At a time when we seek to contain China's rising military power, It would be totally idiotic to drive Russia to seek a bailout from China when Russian still has a array of superior military technology to sell to China, and Russia could make good any resource shortfall China might experience if the US seeks to disrupt Chinese trade.
The degree of idiocy required to do such a thing is so vast that its magnitude constitute proof that this is exactly what we would do.
