Americans Are a Non-Serious People “Playing With Fire”

Via Paul Craig Roberts

The Americans, wallowing in hubris and delusions of omnipotence, have blown the meeting with the Russians, as I expected them to do.

Russia’s deputy foreign minister Sergey Ryabkov expressed the Kremlin’s loss of patience:

“We do not trust the other side. It’s over, enough is enough.” The Americans “underestimate the gravity of the situation,” and failed to show an understanding of how key issues need to be resolved. “We are fed up with loose talk, half-promises, misrepresentations. It is absolutely mandatory to make sure that Ukraine never ever becomes a member of NATO.”
Ryabkov said he will make a decision on January 13 whether to continue the meeting.

Ryabkov said if the militarization of Russia’s border by Washington did not cease, the Russian military will respond in a way that  “will inevitably and unavoidably damage the security of the US and its European allies.” “We are calling on the US to demonstrate a maximum of responsibility at this moment. Risks related to a possible increase of confrontation should not be underestimated,” Ryabkov said, adding that “significant” effort has been made to persuade the Americans that “playing with fire” is not in their interests.

The insouciant State Department replied that NATO won’t stop expanding.

The suicide-cult faggotry of liberalism isn’t going to just spread itself, now is it?

It was said in a comment last week: Putin should submit an application for Russian NATO membership.

Actually they did way back, a few years after 1990, and our stupid state dept said hell no way nothing doing; so Russia partnered up with China.

If they’re stupid enough to start something I just hope the Russian bear eats them for lunch and shits out their remains on Washington and wipes his ass on FJB.

“Super Milley will dash them to pieces with his highly woke army.”

Saw someone earlier today refer to him as “Field Marshal Fruitcake.”

Still chuckling on that one.

Putin and The Chinese leaders have the Bible, “The Art of War ” seared into their consciousness and beliefs.
Foolish idiots in this administration are just useful idiots for the MICC warmonger whores for the stealing rights.
Chinese are conquering Africa with HUGE loan to own works and the Belt and Road plan while the USA is focused on DIVERSITY, Critical race theory and elevating the LGBTQ folks to high status.
Like the trannie they made a four star admiral.
Doom on us!

Army Enlistment Bonus is $50,000 now; looking at Ukraine, Taiwan, and FJB starting a Civil War…the Army can keep it. Frankly Scarlet, if FJB doesn’t get a brain real fast, all the NATO equipment FJB so arrogantly and stupidly located in Ukraine will be sporting a Red Star soon and FJB’s Army will get trapped in Ukraine like Hitler’s got trapped in Stalingrad. Need I say FJB is dumber than Hitler by a country mile.

There is only one word that may be used with complete and utter fucken indiscretion: FUCK!

I really get a kick out of his obsession with “insouciant.”

Know your fucken audience dickbag. Speaking elite scrabble words means dick to the fucken imbeciles you need to fucken reach you fucken audience ignorant turd blossom.

His insouciant use of “insouciant” is hilarious.

ZFG, out.

P.S. Three Letter Acronyms rule. FTW, EAD, LMB and GFY.

Danke, bye.
