This piling on of sanctions requires no reaction. They exist simply because the Empire is crumbling away- imperialism is dying. And the imperialists are desperately hoping that they can provoke Russia and China and the rapidly expanding BRICS to change course, even if doing so risks a war from which humanity will not soon recover.

Medvedev is right to note what the imperialists are doing and to make it clear that, in future, they will pay for their misdeeds but for Russia to change its course would be very dangerous. And exactly what the criminals, who are utterly oblivious to any public interests and regard their policies as moves in a game (their nature is revealed in the daily news from Gaza) are trying to achieve.

The course of history is set- after five centuries the Empire built by european states and now dominated by Europe's creole culture, the USA, is breaking up. What Medvedev needs to do is to find some popcorn and watch- these sanctions will only accelerate the Empire's demise.

You never really know with Medvedev exactly how serious he is. They’ve been playing things fairly cagey so far and it has been working. I feel like we’re coming to the part of the program now where things have the potential to go south. I feel at some point Russia will need to deal with some element of the provocation to stop it or force the issue. Don’t get backed into a corner.
