Russia tells US envoy that Russian-American relations are on the verge of rupture

[AZLD4Candidate]

Source: Yahoo

The Russian Foreign Ministry said Monday that it had summoned the U.S. ambassador to warn that President Joe Biden's recent remarks have put Russian-American relations on the verge of rupture.

Biden last week described Russian President Vladimir Putin as a "war criminal" as Russia's missile attacks on Ukraine cities intensified. The Foreign Ministry, in a social media post, called the statement and other references to Putin and the Russian invasion "unworthy of a statesman of such high rank."

The ministry warned Ambassador John Sullivan that hostile actions taken against Russia would be met with a "decisive and firm rebuff."

The warning came hours after Ukraine firmly rejected a Russian offer to open two safe corridors out of Mariupol in exchange for the city's surrender as the relentless missile strikes on the battered seaport city stretched deeper into a fourth week.

Typical narcissistic, sociopathic megalomania from Putler and his stooges.

They illegally invade a country, lie about it, then threaten people who don't fall in line.

Sorry, we can do without Russia. I wonder if the RW is still selling those "I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat" shirts they loved so much.

3. Given how many women and children Russia murdered just last week...

it's delusional that they expect anyone to still want to be pals with them.

[The Magistrate]

4. There's Always Some Sonuvabitch Slow To Get The Word

They seemed pretty well ruptured back on the 24th....

5. Rubbing out children is ok for PutZ but calling him something he doesn't like? "Unforgivable". . .nt

[COL Mustard]

49. PutZ

I love it!!!

[Evolve Dammit]

6. New Cold War. If they keep bombing, invading and committing atrocities, I don't see us just watching

[YoshidaYui]

7. hey RUSSIA???

[Ray Bruns]

8. OOOOHHH! I am so scared. Hey Putin, US Policy is no longer made in Moscow.

The ministry warned Ambassador John Sullivan that hostile actions taken against Russia would be met with a "decisive and firm rebuff."

[COL Mustard]

50. Decisive and firm rebuff?

Kind of like the lightning strike on Kyiv???

[MerryHolidays]

9. RUSSIA, IF YOU'RE LISTENING....

no one cares about this stupidity and your meaningless threats anymore. Your "sanctions" against President Biden, his son, HRC etc are merely further examples of the idiocy of this brutal murderous regime. We are laughing at how foolish you are and crying as to what you are doing to humanity.

You ruptured everything with your invasions of Chechnya, Georgia, Crimea, and now Ukraine. Of course, there will be the "what about" Iraq. That's totally irrelevant to your genocidal behavior.

Get the hell out of Ukraine and learn to take care of the Russian people. You haven't done one thing for them. My only criticism of them is they have allowed Putin to go on for so long.

I hope Putin gets "ruptured."

..ARE YOU STILL LISTENING, RUSSIA?

[TeamProg]

20. +1 !!!

[GB_RN]

10. Here's A Sign For Putin To Show How Little I Care About His "Rupture"...

🖕

Putin and his pals can go fuck themselves and the horses they rode in on.

[AntiFascist]

11. We should remove our Ambassador to Russia until Putin is taken out of power...

and Ukraine is left alone.

[BeyondGeography]

12. Russia itself has ruptured

See you (or your replacement) post-Putin.

[ffr]

13. Sorry, we do not negotiate with Nazis, especially Russian Nazi Nationalists

GO FUCK YOURSELVES!

[abqtommy]

14. "On the verge of rupture"? Really? The relationship between Russia, the U.S. and many

other countries in the world was blown to bits when the Russians decided to destroy
Ukraine. We're on to you, Russia so keep on spouting your drivel.

[Gore1FL]

15. Classic abuser logic. nt

[OMGWTF]

43. Gaslighting and Projection, Narcissist 101

[COL Mustard]

16. "We accept Russia's offer to surrender in Ukraine"

Followed by the dismantling of its nuclear arsenal and full restitution to Ukraine for all damages. Compensation for fatalities and injuries inflicted on Ukrainian people during this war will be resolved later.

That is all.


Man, I'd love to see that!

[jmowreader]

27. Not good enough

ALL members of the Russian government responsible for the illegal invasion of Ukraine must be handed over to the Ukrainian people for prosecution. Appropriate sentences must be handed down. (By “appropriate” I mean “use Russia’s money to construct a prison on the town square with toilets on top of the cells so women can piss on Putin too.”)

[LPBBEAR]

17. F**k the Russians....

Putin IS a war criminal.

[monkeyman1]

30. Use seized Russian money & asset's to help rebuild Ukraine ?

[bucolic_frolic]

18. The world must stare down that beast

no matter the consequences. It's unfortunate, very unfortunate, but that's the only way to deal with this. We are being offered 2 choices - totalitarianism, or threats of nuclear war. Neither choice is acceptable by civilized society.

[ancianita]

19. Play your "on the verge" card and Biden will raise you

[IronLionZion]

22. That ship has sailed with TFG

Maybe it's time for Putin to go the same way as TFG

[Botany]

23. "That hostile actions taken against Russia?"

And what do you call your war on Ukraine and your attacks on America's voting, media, and social infrastructure
Mr. Lavrov?

[ananda]

24. On the verge? Really???

Newsflash Russia -- we're WAY past that.

[BlueIdaho]

25. The US needs to help support the EU

Until permanent solutions are found to supply their energy needs without Russia. Once we are there - Russia can pound sand. They should never be allowed back in the circle of civilized nations. They can go fuck themselves and take their concerns with them.

[roamer65]

40. We need to form an economic union with the EU.

[Joinfortmill]

26. Well, that proves it, Putin has lost his mind and the end of Russia may be near if he presists.

[Mr. Ected]

29. F this "Russian" bullshit - this isn't Russia - this is Putin. This is the effect of disinformation

This is what happens when CNN and MSNBC become FOX and that's the daily diet fed to the masses.

If Trump had led us to war, you know damned well those of us at DU would not have co-signed. These are the actions of a madman with so much power no one in his circles dare cross him.

We are so close to becoming this nightmare.

[LiberalLovinLug]

31. Oh no's !!!!!!

[Cosmocat]

32. So ... they are getting slapped around by Ukraine

And the US is supposed to be worried about their decisive and firm rebuff?

[Justice matters.]

33. Who wants "relations" with a criminal mob of robber barons?

Tell them to go F themselves.

[LymphocyteLover]

36. seriously!

[BadgerKid]

52. Also should apply within the US.

[Marthe48]

34. Pointing fingers right at russia

putin is a monster on the loose. I'm sure he wishes that all Americans were for sale to the highest bidder as traitor, his family and his henchmen are.

putin, you had your chance and you not only underestimated the power of Democracy, you underestimated the loyalty of true American patriots. So go screw yourself and get out of Ukraine, you murderous war criminal freak of nature.

[LymphocyteLover]

35. So Biden's response is not weak then?

[roamer65]

37. Give the Russian embassy in DC to Ukraine.

Kick ALL Russian diplomatic staff/spies out of the US.

[lagomorph777]

38. Looks like Biden's remark hit its target: the narcissist's tender widdle ego.

OOoooooh, scary - the asshole might go into a corner and pout.

[elleng]

39. No sh*t, sherlock.

[L. Coyote]

41. BIDEN:

Link to tweet

[EndlessWire]

42. I don't understand

Do we still have an embassy open in Russia? I mean, they closed McDonalds, FCS, what is our embassy still doing open? They can close it! All Americans should have left Moscow by now.

Putin is a war criminal, and he should be tried in the Hague. If that is what they plan, kicking out our embassy, then that will not change the fact that Putin will be tried as a criminal, if he doesn't get assassinated first.

[marieo1]

44. Ha!Ha!Ha!

Truth of the matter is: who does Putin think he is threatening the USA? Like we ever have had good relationship with Russia........who does he think he is kidding!!!

[stillspkg]

45. Yelling is Telling

“Rage is an expression of powerlessness.” I don’t know where I heard this, but it makes sense to me.
Coming from a person in power, it’s a
signal to the rest of the world that he has none. He yells because he thinks no one is listening, when In fact, those who have been engaged have heard enough.

[jgmiller]

46. And according to NATO that would trigger article 5

It's almost like Putin wants a full out war, which is just insane. He can't honestly imagine he would win even if it didn't go nuclear especially given the current performance of his military.

China would not enter on his side, they talk a good game but they are pragmatists and realize they need the industrialized world to keep their economy humming. They would wring their hands, complain about all sides and try to broker a peace deal but that's it.

I also can't imagine that his generals would actually get into a nuclear war where they know they would die. You can only carry being afraid of one person so long, when you're confronted with getting rid of him or accepting you and your family will die in a nuclear holocaust you're outlook changes.

[stillspkg]

47. P.S

Does this mean he won’t interfere with our elections anymore?

[FailureToCommunicate]

48. It is to be hoped.

[ck4829]

51. How do we go from "verge" to "rupture"?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

53. Also discussed Monday

U.S. ambassador demanded Moscow follow international law in meeting with Russian government

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department on Monday confirmed a meeting between U.S. Ambassador John Sullivan and the Russian government, during which Sullivan demanded that Moscow follow international law and allow consular access to all U.S. citizens detained in Russia.

State department spokesperson Ned Price said it is "completely unacceptable" that the United States has been denied consular access to detained American citizens in Russia.

He said there has been no change to the case of WNBA All-Star player Brittney Griner, whom Russia said it had detained last month for possession of vape cartridges containing hash oil. The U.S. has still not been allowed consular access to Griner, Price said.

[LudwigPastorius]

54. Go ahead.

Expel our ambassador and his staff.

They'll probably breathe a sigh of relief that they don't have to spend another minute in your shitty murderous-criminal-enterprise-masquerading-as-a-country.

[C Moon]

56. In other words, expect some major hacking soon.

I wouldn't be surprised if some CEO's are going to let putin do his dirty work.
For instance, we won't be able to but pillows from the Pillow Guy for a few days.

[Martin68]

57. Looks like Russia is running out of options that give them any leverage at all.
