Kremlin officials today warned that Russo-American relations are not just bad but practically non-existent, saying that virtually all channels of communication between the two nations are frozen, and that communication that is done is “minimal.”
The comments, made by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, came in the context of a discussion about NATO tensions, and the possibility of improved relations as the result of President-elect Donald Trump taking office next month. Peskov insisted that the Russian government doesn’t expect Trump to quickly reject NATO enlargement or other grievances.
The State Department dismissed the Russian comments, insisting they had no idea what Peskov was talking about, and that the US and Russia have ongoing diplomatic engagement “across a wide range of issues.”
The US imposed a new round of sanctions on Russia this week, nominally related to the accession of Crimea into the Russian Federation. Sen. John McCain (R – AZ) also accused Russia of a plot to “destroy democracy” worldwide, causing an “unraveling of the world order.”
Smart move. Russia is expecting a large scale cyber attack in the period leading up to the Trump inauguration. the prime suspect for that is the USA so closing those comms is a smart first step. I’m assuming Ukrainian links have been severed completely.
For the better probably. What point is there in communicating with these fanatic neocons and their salaried puppets? Russia should know by now that nothing good can come from it.
That McCain is insufferable
During the years that this relic, John McCain, has been continuously elected, I doubt he has had an original thought.
That could be either a confirmation or a denial 🙂

McCain never overcame his guilt in betraying fellow POWs, according to the accounts of some of those POWs.

What McCain really means is that the “world order” is supposed to be based ONLY on the US manipulating elections, pushing propaganda and lies, assassinating candidates and elected officials in order to impose US-loving puppets on countries against their will.
State Department spokesman John Kirby, the US’s version of Baghdad Bob, insists “they had no idea what Peskov was talking about…” Well, at least the US State Department is consistent – they haven’t understood most of what the rest of the world has said for a good long time.
Warmonger CNN is reporting on this as Russia cutting off all communications with us. Typical Deep State propaganda tool – CNN.
