Would it have been seen as appropriate step by US public if Russia had announced sanctions against US same week when US was mourning tragedies of Boston Marathon or United Flight crash deaths?
It seems odd that Obama and controversial Charlie Hebdo (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?485319-Russian-Defence-Ministry-publishes-cartoon-with-Grim-Reaper-behind-French-Charlie-Hebdo-editor&p=6390668&viewfull=1#post6390668) decided to attack Russia at such a time when sympathy and prayers are offered even to adversaries.

Russia is mourning death of over 90 people in plane crash just as Obama announced sanctions for alleged Russian activities of last 8 years/months.

(Vatican Radio) After the Angelus prayer in St. Peter's Square on the Feast of Saint Stephen, Pope Francis expressed his condolences to the Russian people and the families of victims of the Christmas day plane crash that took the lives of 92 people near Sochi.
"I express my sincere condolences for the sad news of the Russian plane that crashed into the Black Sea," the Pope said. "May the Lord console the dear Russian people and the families of the passengers who were on board: journalists, crew and the excellent choir and orchestra of the armed forces. May the blessed Virgin Mary sustain the search operations underway. In 2004, the choir performed in the Vatican for the 26th year of the pontificate of Saint John Paul II. Let us pray for them."

You do not understand. What we do is hold the whole planet together. If it was not for us the whole world would end. ;)
