It's getting closer to war.
Lavrov advised Kiev and everybody else (hint-hint) to not even think about military attack on Crimea in order to forcibly bring it into Ukraine:

Ukraine pulls heavy war machinery to the border with Crimea
They are pulling APC and "Osa" MRLS systems.

Ukrainian bandits (not without proper guidance from the US) are doing everything to pull Russia into a war:

Will Russia persuade China to sell the giant stock of the U.S. treasuries it has in possession? 
Why should China sell them at a loss? Right now the demand for US treasury bonds are at an all-time low. If China unloads a few trillion worth of bonds, there will be simply no buyers to mop them up.
That's the whole point, they're worthless so they're trying to get rid of them, to be honest, might as well just burn them all or something, it would make a pretty powerful statement too.
It seems that both of you are missing something (or it's just me). If I understand correctly, it is an interest rate paid on these bonds that is at all-time lows. If the U.S. refuses to redeem them (provided there are no other buyers in the market at the moment), that would technically mean the USA as a state defaulting on its liabilities. Did the U.S. government take on an obligation to redeem these papers if they are still premature?
Oh, look, EU agreed to new level of sanctions against Russia for protesting against ethnic cleansing and mass murders of ethnic Russians by EU- and US-backed Nazis in Ukraine:

I hope that "clear signal" does not involve Uranium.

The loss is already there. Selling the bond and swap it for something of value is better than letting the loss run unchecked.
A large part of their Forex reserves is in the form of US treasury bonds. And we should remember that China still uses the US Dollar for a large majority of its foreign trade. At the most, they might decide to refrain from buying any more bonds. I don't think they will reduce their bond stockpiles.

US sanctions are new type of offensive weapon – Russia’s Deputy FM
http://rt.com/politics/170424-us-sanctions-weapon-russia/
Quote
Russia's leading diplomat in charge of relations with the US has called Washington’s policy of sanctions “a new offensive strategic weapon”, and warned that Russia was preparing a response, albeit not a mirror one.
“Sanctions, both declared and undeclared, are being used against a wider circle of countries and on a wider scale. I have an impression that the Washington power circles had come to the conclusion that it is sometimes simpler and cheaper to impose sanctions on some nation than use a conventional military force against it,” Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in an interview with the influential business daily Kommersant.

US will probably do something stupid and provoke Russia into invading another country that sided with US.
Global war is unlikely to happen. But that doesn't mean Russia's neighbors and Europe won't suffer.

It has never been closer to WW3 since 1942, and you say that global was is unlikely to happen? Cmon everyone can feel the tensions going around the world. China, Russia, India and North Korea are just waiting for the clap to start war.
I think that sport is reserved for the Cuban crisis.
For both China and India , a ww3 is the worst thing that could happen , they are far more interested in economical growth and trade than war
WW3 is good if it happen on someone else soil and the export country can sell their trinkets at premium price with less competition.

The war is being shifter closer to Russian territory:
Several shells exploded on Russian territory, near border control point Novoshahtijsk. 2 buildings were damaged:
http://rusvesna.su/news/1404371346
Russian battalions are setting up firing positions 300 meters to 1.5 kilometers from the border to defend Russia from a looming invasion:
http://rusvesna.su/news/1404346620
The workers of the Russian border control point Gukovo are evacuated due to the approaching battles:
http://rusvesna.su/news/1404376076
Well, US resumed import of Russian rocket engines. On the other hand, it's nothing that US cannot replace at short notice, if the seeming benefit of a war outweighs the losses.

The USA also relies on a lot of Russian supplies and technology as well
As they say you can mess with small countries but not large ones who you rely on in the international system.

You are right there. Add Russia to the list of countries not interested in a war. As with WWI and WWII, Russia will only stand to lose if a war is imposed on it. What Russia needed and was denied since the beginning of 1900 is a prolonged period of peace to develop its economy.

We're not touching Russia. I know for certain we have no intentions of doing anything if we draw a red line like we did with Syria and...oh there we go drawing a line.
