Moscow Times: Russia Demands ‘Urgent’ U.S. Talks, Warning of ‘Military Response’ to NATO Activity
Russia demands immediate talks with the United States on security guarantees from NATO, a senior diplomat said Monday, while President Vladimir Putin’s chief arms control negotiator warned of a “military response” if the alliance continues to step on Moscow’s “sore spots.”
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov spoke days after Moscow made public a list of demands that seek to limit the U.S.-led Western military bloc’s role in Ukraine and the former Soviet space.
“We need [answers] urgently since the situation is very serious and may get more complicated,” the state-run RIA Novosti news agency quoted Ryabkov as saying.

This is a period of time when it is vital for all parties to be in constant communications with each other. To have meetings together, and to keep all doors open.
But U.S. foreign policy is nowhere and everywhere right now, and I see no signs that the White House is interested in entering into any talks with Putin.
This is both unprecedented and very dangerous.
The last time that I saw the Kremlin "behaving" this way was during the height of the Cold War, and that is a period of time that I do not wish on anyone.

I can tell you're a immature boy.
Opening act post Afghanistan debacle.
Russia is Act I, which is Act 2? China, North Korea, Iran?
Putin holds some high cards. Winter is ideal time since Russia holds Frau household heating in his hands.
NATO military is an empty shell without a strong German military. The USA can’t credibly confront China and Russia, it must pick one. Putin’s ultimatum will force realism in NATO. He might get some important concessions without giving up anything.
It's beginning to look like Biden might actually flounder into a shooting war with Russia.
The US is in no condition to start a war with Russia. A war weary public led by incompetent political hacks. A military led by woke-obsessed chiefs more concerned about members political thoughts than defeating an enemy. And right after a national humiliation surrender of a 20 year war in AFG.
/Good job Joe Biden, you feckless bastard.
LET'S
GO,
BRANDON,
R,
Let the historic record show that the west was brought down from within, through corruption and treason
We will all pay for not standing up when they change the vote count at night and when they told us so many lies we willingly accepted.
What's next is everyone's guess. But even in the last minutes, I hope we get to hang the traitors to our values, norms, laws and nations.
"After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the disintegration of the Warsaw Pact, NATO, in a violation of the verbal agreement between Secretary of State James Baker and Russian Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, launched a massive expansion to the east."
Verbal agreement?
So never brought before the US senate. I have criticized Obama for not bring his Iran treaty to the senate. So my estimation of James Baker the 3rd has gone down, considerably.
Churchill worked out a an agreement with Stalin. Romania would be in the Soviet sphere and Stalin would be a given a free hand to butt fuck the Romanian people. Greece would be in the Western sphere. How did that work out? Communists definitely infiltrated from Bulgaria in the Soviet sphere into Greece. Stalin was deliberately ambiguous. Still there were safe areas and infiltration for 'communist' nations into Greece.
Moscow supported communist insurgencies, Ciba and Nicaragua, in the American sphere. When Moscow feels their oats they will be in Venezuela too. Or be there more so than now. Part of the reason Moscow is not into Venezuela so openly is that Venezuela is a nag and thus a bad horse to back for the time being. It is not out of respect for the US.
Mpscow never hesitated
Note to Joe Biden. Stop fucking with Russia. You have plenty of problems in the Pacific (and at home). Ukraine is of no real interest to the USA. Act like it.
So, one of Moscow's "sore spots" is that there should be no NATO troops in former Soviet countries (including Ukraine). Key word here is FORMER--as in, they no longer belong to the USSR or Russia. USSR treated these countries, and their citizens, like shit for 70 years. And now Moscow is saying, move the troops out and just trust us. Yeah, right.
Czechoslovakia was of no interest to to Britain in 1938.
Sippar and the Gutians were no interest to Lugal-zage-si. Oh tight Lugal-zage-si ended up dead, because he did not worry about Sargon taking Sippar.
The Ottomans were a small emirate in Western Anatolia. It could not fight toe to toe with the other emirates to its east. So it attacked west. Those emirates to the east, you do not know their fucking names.
3 examples Mother Fucker!
There is something bizarre from Russia: the goals and timing are permanently changing. What does it mean? I can't believe that Putin is becoming, all the sudden, an ADD person, there is a plan, but which one?
Exactly this.
Unfortunately the current administration seems to have received their foreign policy experience from the International House of Pancakes and Putin knows it. Believe the end state will not be good for Ukraine or NATO.
Agreed.
is this now a pro-Russian pro-Putin site?
fuck Russia
and Trump's foreign policy? kiss Putin's butt and never say a bad word about him.
