Actually I knew that from the very beginning. The USA is not a major, second or even third trading partner for Russia (about 3-4% only which is nothing). You have no power to affect Russian economy somehow, and course your sanctions work against Putin-friendly oligarchs only. But why Obama has told that "the Russian economy is torn to pieces"? Now his speech works for Putin's propaganda here. Is he an idiot? Why don't you impeach that stupid chatterer already? He can't do a single thing w/o a public fackup. Even Bush Jr. was a way smarter than him.
