Washington being asked to listen to the voice of reason in relations with Moscow
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] Russian Foreign Ministry asked Washington not to undertake "malicious provocations"

In the Department of North America, the Russian Foreign Ministry is asking Washington not to bring the situation to a direct clash between the United States and Russia. The threat of such a development of events was stated by the director of the diplomatic structure Alexander Darchiev in an interview with TASS.

“We can only hope that Washington will listen to the voice of reason and will not bring matters to a direct clash between Russia and the United States,” he said.

According to Alexander Darchiev, if Washington does not have enough wisdom, then this may be fraught with a rupture of diplomatic relations between Russia and the United States "with all the ensuing consequences."

He also believes that initially Washington was the initiator of the destruction of relations between the countries, which brought the situation to the point of no return, and now blamed Moscow for this. Nevertheless, Russia has no intention of deliberately cutting off contact with the United States unless there are " malicious provocations " that leave no choice.

As REGNUM reported, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky said during his visit to Washington that he was not ready to make compromises for the sake of making peace with Russia. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken called his proposals on this issue a good start and stressed that the position of the Russian Federation is preventing reaching agreements. The initiatives of the Ukrainian leader are already being discussed by the United States with other countries around the world, Blinken explained.

#1 With Stinking Blinken it will never happen. Too much money to be made. While Biden has deaf ears. Mismanaged here and abroad. They play their tunes while the west sinks into oblivion. Reminds me of the old Kennedy joke, something like it's my football so we play by my rules.

#3 ^That was a bizarre comment. In your alternative universe perhaps. Fear does things to the mind that forces knee jerk reactions that rules over logic.

#4 One thing I am not is afraid of Russia.

Breathe into a paper bag Dale. When that doesn't work, move to a dry cleaning bag over your head.

#5 This is like Schumer asking about compromise* in the Senate. *agree and vote for everything I put forward.

#6 We could bomb Russia back to the stone age for a fraction of what we are spending on the proxy war in Ukraine.

#7 The Russian arch enemy is the yeast of the Deep State bakery.

#8 Read earlier today, that it will take some 30 years for Russia to recover its economy from this war in Ukraine.

I am wondering how long it will take the U.S. to rebuild it's own military stocks after shipping them to Ukraine? Still have an eye on China in the wings.

Bit miffed that the U.S. Government giving money to Ukraine is more important, than securing the southern border. I don't disagree with the U.S. making life miserable for Putin, and maybe bankrupt him and government. Makes wish President Ronald Reagan was still around compared to what we have now in the Oval Office.
