[REGNUM] US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, who visited Moscow in October, went to Washington with a specific assignment to rectify the situation that has led to a dead end in Russian-American relations.

This was announced on November 7 by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova on the air of the TV channel "Russia 1".

Answering the question whether there is a chance that it will be possible to resolve the visa crisis and other problems with the United States, Zakharova said: "This is not a chance, this is a specific task with which Mrs. Nuland left the territory of the Russian Federation."

"If they want to move further, into any future of bilateral relations, normal, including along this line, they must take a number of practical steps. To unblock the situation, which they themselves led to a dead end," explained the representative of the ministry.

Earlier, the US State Department ranked Russian citizens as "homeless nationalities" who cannot obtain an American visa on the territory of their country. In addition, Washington has blocked access to Russian diplomatic property in the United States, refusing Moscow to resolve this issue.

#3  #1, I think it is to prove how tough we are or that we can play hardball or something.

#2  Well well well. So it turns out that, among the clowns at the center of this farce is a Clinton hack who's on the payroll of ...the Kremlin.

Unbelievable.

So this whole idiotic affair was likely influenced by Russian DISinformation, i.e. Russian intelligence officials toying with and manipulating Hillary's shitheads and tying our clueless FBI and media shills into knots.

We are ruled by morons

#1  This is absolutely insane. The USSA is punishing up to a million of its own citizens, and by implication another million citizens of Russians, for ... what, exactly?

Why on earth are we provoking a nation which doesn't threaten us in the slightest? Whom are we punishing? Not Putin -- you could take away 97% of his fortune and he'd still be a billionaire.

You're just punishing ordinary Russians. Cruelly, blindly, madly. For nothing. To no end. And creating an enemy where none exists, or need exist.

China poses 100x the threat to us and our democracy that Russia poses.

End this insanity.
Save our country.
Save our Republic and the western civilization that created it.

End this f--king suicidal stupidity.
