5. Currently any sanctions against Russia will strike back to who makes this sanctions. The world became small and interconnected. Even if West will stop buying our gas and oil (which will be a suicide for EU) - we can sell it to China and don't care.

 

Is that really a viable alternative?  While Russia's reaction to sanctions from the EU could prove devastating to those who participate (Natural Gas and Oil being in high demand from Russia), Russia is also very reliant on the EU for many other goods.  

If Russia does enact reactionary sanctions to the US and EU sanctions, I don't think anyone (especially Russia) would benefit from this.
