These types of accusations are at most, a nuisance. But, which combined with all other nuisances, give the US no leverage when the time comes to deal with the economic blow Russia and China will hand out. Im not sure if Babylon still sees itself as a majorpower or superpower or bully or whatever you wanna call it....but its policies, especially in the spectrum of economics, are actions that lead others to show no respect.
Russia and China are close allies, getting closer by the day, in a possible alliance contra-US. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/05/17/russia-china-gas-idUSL6N0O30B420140517
Speaking of leverage...Amid tensions between the United States and Russia in recent months many
international analysts have warned of consequences that may include
everything from thermo-nuclear detonations to asymmetric warfare such as financial cyber attacks, weapons of mass destruction, or targeting of the national utility grid.
The Obama administration has already begun implementing sanctions
against Russian politicians and business interests, but rather than
leading to a compromise the controversial geo-political maneuvers may be
further fueling the fire. According to Marin Katusa, Chief Resource
Strategist at Casey Research, Russia’s control of valuable
domestic resources puts them in a unique strategic position against the
United States and gives them significant leverage should they choose to
implement sanctions of their own. The country is rich in oil and gas,
an advantage they have used time and again in negotiations with Europe
by simply threatening to shut down gas pipelines if their demands
weren’t met. But something most people don’t realize is that the
Russians also dominate the rare earth metals sector, namely the mining
of uranium.
If Russia were to restrict the export of that uranium, explains
Katusa, life as we know it in the United States could come to an abrupt
halt.
If that happened America’s lights would go out. It would be the greatest blackout in American history…
The irony is John Kerry is going out there with Obama and
talking about all these sanctions they’re going to put on the Russians.
If the Russians wanted they could pull the rug out from under the
American energy matrix and 20%, one out of every five homes in America,
would be in blackout.
