Sergei Lavrov, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, has commented in a peculiar way on the probable intentions of the US government to provide Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles.

    lol. No, Russia is waging war against a smaller power and losing. If they actually fought the US they would be utterly annihilated like their Wagner forces were in Syria when they met American combined arms. I think an American ally was mildly injured in that fight (a sprain or something) while Wagner suffered hundreds of causalities.

    Quote: “What is happening is that Ukraine has been prepared, for many years, in order to use its bodies to fight for the strategic defeat of Russia,” Lavrov added.

    The Russian Foreign Ministry had been under growing suspicions for years that Ukraine had been maliciously plotting to have its borders aggress against the unsuspecting Russian military.

    Russia helped subvert western democracy. As far as I’m concerned, they’re being handled with kids gloves.
