"The problem is that it is extremely difficult for the US ruling circles to come to terms with the changing world order. And many of them are simply organically incapable of moving away from thinking in terms of their own superiority."

This hits it on the head. Until the US ruling elites are overthrown - or the US is militarily defeated in a major war and/or massive economic collapse, which are the only two things that can possibly cause them to be overthrown - nothing will change.

"Judging by the course of events, the moment is ripening when the necessary political decisions in Moscow can be made quickly. Our response will not be long in coming."

It already has come. It's called the SMO which is intended to set the pre-conditions for Russia countering those NATO installations. The further decisions will be to establish a Military District in western Ukraine, among others already decided such as establishing new Military Districts opposite Finland. Why anyone imagines that Russia will treat Poland and Romania differently than Finland is beyond me.

the foreseeable future with usa-russia relations looks grim.. i prefer the realist outlook myself and sergei ryabkov shares my orientation in this regard.. as many others have stated ' the usa is non negotiable'.. this has been borne out in countless international affairs examples.. one thing the rest of the world can generally count on is for the usa to start wars.. more people need to ask why this is..

i was happy to see the topic of the missile base in Redzikovo, poland - a topic dear to richard steven hacks heart... richard has a very good point, and thankfully it hasn't been ignored here in the interview with ryabkov..

why is it so hard to understand that security for the west can't come by removing security for russia? only a fool would argue for this lopsided set up, but that is exactly nato and the usa's position here.. it defies logic..
