Can the relationship between Russia and US get even more worsen?

Declineing holdings of U.S. securities is an answer from the side of Moscow.
Minister Silanov already hinted this move. Russia’s holdings of Treasury securities dropped 84%, decreasing to $14.9 billion from $96.1 billion. Also, Russia decided to make focus on their Rubble and Euro instead of US dollar. They will keep their “fair play” to US companies who operate in Russian country.
