Add to that fact that 40 different countries are now the targets of US
sanctions and there is a powerful constituency to oppose the thuggish
economic tactics of the U.S.
Finally, at the recent G-20 Summit a walkout led by the US when the Russia
delegate spoke was joined by the representatives of only 3 other G-20
countries, with 80% of these leading financial nations refusing to join!
Similarly, a US attempt to bar a Russian delegate from a G-20 meeting later
in the year in Bali was rebuffed by Indonesia which currently holds the
G-20 Presidency.
