"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..
Russia knew its December 2021 proposals would be met with a stoneface, but they had to exhaust that one last opportunity. I recall Lavrov's report to Putin very well. The risk to launch the SMO and slap first was a risk, but the stakes then were well known and for the most part continue as before, although NATO is greatly weakened. NATO can only get weaker and Russia stronger. I await to see how Russia harnesses the BRICS+ nations so the carriage is pulled in the most efficient manner.
Meanwhile John Helmer reports on some fascinating naval games in the Red Sea and surrounds. The Age of Aquarius sure isn't starting of on a dull note. I trust the USA and its natzo allies are not stupid enough to blockade or impede Russian crude exports ;(
Looks like Trump unless RFK prevails. Blinken is beyond help.
Trump is not inclined to appreciate the delicacies of intentional diplomacy. OTOH, he does like handshakes. He might surprise everyone, then again, leopards do not change their spots.
And it's not just POTUS. All the sewage needs to be cleaned out of Congress and the courts need actual jurists. Then we need Industrial Capitalists. Russia, China and RoW are setting themselves up for the future while the West wallows in the effluent of its past that's also polluted the current younger generation..
