Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warns that the tit-for-tat threats by the US and North Korea risk a “vicious circle” of spiraling tensions that could lead to a major military confrontation.
Neither North Korea’s government nor the Obama Administration could likely dispute that fact. Rather, they would both insist that it is entirely the other side’s doing and that their reaction to the opposing rhetoric is appropriate.
The US military is hyping its ability to “strike quickly and at will” against North Korea, with nuclear-capable bombers flying over the area almost constantly. North Korean officials say they too are prepared for missile strikes.
Lavrov urged both sides to avoid unilateral actions in the growing spat and seems to be hoping for a spontaneous deescalation that neither side seems willing to go through with. Where this will all end is anyone’s guess.
FUCK RUSSIA. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR SYRIA, ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE BASES IN SYRIA. No one pays attention to petty Russia because everyone know you sold Libya for petty concession and no Syria. Down with Russia and China. N. Korea is a victom of US and its dumb president agression, a petty servant of zionist criminals. You go and destroy your nuclear bombs and then talk bastard. US is a criminal and police state with gullible people.
Russia is using their security council veto to obstruct regime change by NATO military forces in that country. They also continue to supply Assad with weapons, fuel & other aid. What else do you expect them to do? The reason why Russia abstained on Libya was because it was sold to them as the establishment of a humanitarian no-fly zone, which was then very deceptively used to impose regime change. Also, Russia was under Medvedev at that time not Putin – who made his feelings clear in the media at the time. The Libya fiasco was one of the things which prompted Medvedev to step down as president.
Only illiterate people try to hide Russian's dirty face. Putin has been the main policy maker in foreign policy as a president or a "prime minister", selling his allies for petty concession form the west. Russia robbed Iran billions for Bushehr reactor, yet has not completed the reactor fully to help US/Israel. Russia cooperated with US/Israel on Iran nuclear program and has voted more than 4 times along with US/Israel at the UN security council along with China. Iranian histroy is full of Russian betrayals. Russia has invaded Iranian's territory and stolen their lands. Russia sought to have bases in Iran where, thank god, Iranian gov told them go to hell. But Syria has granded Russia bases for NOTHING. If Russia is THAT DUMB NOT KNOWING THAT 'no fly zone' means war then must go to hell. Russia has cancelled an AGREEMENT to sell S-300 to Iran, and does not sell advanced weapons to Syria either because he is on the side of the war criminals. Russia as an ally is a JOKE. Only dumb people trust Russia. so China
To understand how DUMB is Russia and its politicians, you must see the following video. Watch the talk by Sergei Plekhanov from York University at 50Min, who explains Russian cowardness and lack of understanding to have a policy in the Middle East. They are the biggest LOOSER of all due to their dumbness and cowardness.They are very conservative and are looking for their own short time interest. This pettiness has created a sitution that Russia will be a big looser in the Arab world as well as Islamic world because they are not willing to support their allies. Russia has shown repeatedly that for few BONES that west gives them is willing to sell country after country for petty interest. They love pettiness, so China. That's why Russia sold Libya and Syria, as Mr. Plekhanov indicates. China the same as Russia very conservative and loves petty interest.
Agree. The following is the message others are sending to Russia, the LOOSER:
{Unfortunately Russia in recent years instead of confronting the US, and the West , just has expressed ( regret, concern, and ,suprise). Russia has been passive ,therefor , the balance of power has been lost. Look at Syria, Middle East, and Africa , Russia is loosing. It seems Russia is in trance ,and unable to get up.}
The brutal first president needs to be attacked by the victim of US imperailism and puppet of zionism.
The expert criticized the Nobel Peace Prize winner US president for pretending to have anti-war views but in fact escalating assassination operations beyond US borders.
“It [drone attacks] has increased dramatically under Obama…. Far more attacks…and far more people were killed by Obama than anything [Bush-era Vice President] Dick Cheney and George W. Bush ever did with drones,” he noted.
