TASS: Russia may downgrade diplomatic relations with US, senior diplomat says 

Still, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov stressed that Moscow did not plan to initiate the severance of diplomatic ties with Washington 

MOSCOW, November 9. /TASS/. Washington’s behavior may compel Moscow to downgrade diplomatic relations or even cut ties, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said. 

"We are indeed going through an acute crisis in relations, the likes of which we have never seen before. We need to carefully calibrate and verify the steps we are taking to prevent further escalation. Our leadership encourages the Foreign Ministry and other federal government agencies to act this way, which is what we are guided by. However, we have seen the Americans take a series of irresponsible and escalatory steps with regard to Ukraine, and not only there," the senior diplomat said in an interview with RTVI. "That is why, if we look at Washington’s current behavior model from this perspective, I don’t rule out anything at all. The level [of diplomatic ties] may be lowered; and the severance of diplomatic relations is also possible," he added.

WNU Editor: I have mentioned it before. When countries cut diplomatic ties, wars will soon follow.

1) We are already at war.

2) The hybrid war has been going on for a long time.

3) With less Russian agents under diplomatic cover to follow around, the FBI can spend more quality time hunting Trump supporters. Or put another way, the FBI is spending full time hunting Trump supporters, so at least this one need will not go unmet, because it won't exist.


4) From sociological point of view look at #3. Maybe Harry spelled with an i, would say that it was always to be. Look at the Fatherland front. In Austria. Look how that came to be. A good communist socialist from a party family living in party housing ended up after the Anschluss in the Wehrmacht fighting other 'communists".

Austria is such a small country and we cannot learn any lessons from the Austrian speakers that we could generalize!

Germany, Austria, Romania, Greece all had the same trend. It is more than a German thing.

Barack Hussein Obama Thinks That Austrian Is A Language < His grades and thesis still have not been released.

It’s becoming more and more evident that Trump isn’t going to be allowed back into the White House. There isn’t anyone to negotiate with so why prolong the inevitable. A Russian first strike might be in the works in Moscow.

skods you are being crude.

The guy is right . If you were a Russian, would you want to negotiate with the West, especially after the Minsk agreements, "bad faith" debacle?

Of course you would not. No one would.

So what is the solution ? Certainly not nuking Washington, but then again .......... :).
