Russia is smart. Right now, the collective ‘west’ is running around like a decapitated rooster, trying to figure out what responses Russia will use against it in regard to the lack of legal security guarantees. By ‘keeping Mum’ on what it can do in return, Russia have the definative ‘upper hand’ in negotiations and this is driving the ‘west’ INSANE.
Why always using the word sanctions? The word implies and defines a superior party/nation, punishing a subject party/nation for disobedience to its diktats. Why not using the appropriate noun? i.e., Blackmail. If the Russians began using such definition for the west’s shenanigans against them the fallacies of their behaviour would stare them in the face.
Alexander wondered whether Russia would receive the US written response this week, as the US promised. Blinken just said he will not deliver a written response in his meeting with Lavrov on Friday. So that question is answered.
Lets be honest about which ‘Ukraine‘ that they are all talking about. It is those so called leaders in Kiev and their thugs who have brought about all this warmongering by NATO. The west, NATO, fake politicians and media are complicit in ignoring the atrocity that happened in the Donbass by the Kiev monsters.
