Back to the OP's (plagiarized) post about sanctions against Russia actually hurting the US more than they hurt Russia, a much stronger case can be (and has been) made that the $hit going on in Ukraine will actually help our securities markets (and in particular our Treasury Bonds) because our economy, while still somewhat weak, is still the best and safest place in the world for international investors to put their money. We are still "the least ugly house in an ugly neighborhood" when it comes to world financial markets. If today's Dow and Treasury markets are an indicator (both are up sharply), there seems to be something behind this notion.
