The problem with Putin ideology is that he won't just hurt US, but Russia itself. 200 Billion. It will tank other economies like the Chinese. The Chinese won't be happy at that point.

Russia needs to sell that oil and gas. What are you going to do with stock pile of it? for what? The United States has enough reserves to last them more than Putin's lifetime. So then what?
