• Будущее – за свободным, многолинейным и многообразным развитием культур, за самым широким диалогом гуманитарных сообществ многополярного мира, который сегодня рождается.

• Политика отмены России антикультурна, неоколониальна, расистска по своей сути.

Year later nothing has made me change my mind and it has only shown to be more true…

I think it is obvious at this juncture in the evolution of the United States that the decision has been made to focus on biological warfare rather than conventional military warfare. – kKEETON…

Just do some reading on all these posts available about USA World Bio-Lab issues…

🇷🇺 🇺🇸 Comment from the Russian Embassy in the USA

https://t.me/MID_Russia/32867

We drew attention to the latest destructive decisions of the US administration to increase sanctions pressure on Russia and states friendly to us.

👉 It is symptomatic that the American authorities announced new restrictions on November 16 . It was on this day that 90 years passed since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the USSR and the USA.

📌 In the history of interaction between the two powers there have been ups and downs, confrontation and détente, brotherhood in arms and an arms race. Periods of normal dialogue only benefited the peoples of both countries and the interests of global security. However, current times are characterized by outright aggression on the part of Washington , which has declared the “strategic defeat” of Russia as its goal. The emphasis is on depleting the domestic economy, inciting protest sentiments and demonizing Moscow in the international arena.

📌 The United States is persistently trying to use the entire sanctions arsenal against us . Restrictions are multiplying both under far-fetched pretexts about the need to resist Russian influence in various parts of the world, and for purely selfish purposes. In particular, we are talking about the administration’s desire to redraw the global energy map with the help of illegitimate anti-market initiatives like “price ceilings” on our raw materials.

❌ Washington needs to finally realize the futility of waving the sanctions baton and trying to break Russia . The unipolar world is irrevocably becoming a thing of the past. American claims to leadership of the entire planet are causing growing resistance from the world majority . The sooner the local ruling circles pacify their ambitions and abandon the methods of economic and political dictatorship, the easier it will be for them to integrate into the emerging polycentric system of international relations.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Комментарий Посольства России в США

Обратили внимание на очередные деструктивные решения администрации США по усилению санкционного давления на Россию и дружественно настроенные к нам государства.

👉 Симптоматично, что американские власти объявили о новых рестрикциях 16 ноября. Именно в этот день исполнилось 90 лет со дня установления дипломатических отношений между СССР и CШA.

📌 В истории взаимодействия двух держав были взлеты и падения, конфронтация и разрядка, братство по оружию и гонка вооружений. Периоды нормального диалога приносили только пользу народам обеих стран и интересам глобальной безопасности. Однако нынешние времена характеризуются откровенной агрессией со стороны Вашингтона, который провозгласил целью «стратегическое поражение» России. Ставка делается на истощение отечественной экономики, разжигание протестных настроений и демонизацию Москвы на международной арене.

📌 США упорно пытаются задействовать против нас весь санкционный арсенал. Ограничения множатся как под надуманными предлогами о необходимости противостоять российскому влиянию в различных уголках мира, так и в сугубо корыстных целях. В частности, речь – о стремлении администрации перекроить глобальную энергокарту при помощи нелегитимных антирыночных инициатив вроде «ценовых потолков» на наше сырье.

❌ Вашингтону необходимо, наконец, осознать тщетность размахивания санкционной дубинкой и попыток надломить Россию. Однополярный мир безвозвратно уходит в прошлое. Американские претензии на руководство всей планетой вызывают возрастающее сопротивление мирового большинства. Чем раньше местные правящие круги усмирят свои амбиции, откажутся от методов экономического и политического диктата, тем проще им будет встроиться в формирующуюся полицентричную систему международных отношений.

Sorry, but Russia, you will not find anything good from the USA and minions. Yet, you will find hurt and pain…

I started to laugh in disbelief in how pathetic the USA is in literally all aspects anymore and yet, China definitely realizes that the USA is one screwed up country…

You should read the complete posting…

Biden says at one point: “First, I am pleased to announce that after many years of being on hold, we are restarting cooperation between the United States and the PRC on counternarcotics.”

< ...>

Then a question was asked: Question – “And, Mr. President, after today, would you still refer to President Xi as a “dictator”? This is a term that you used earlier this year.”

THE PRESIDENT: “Well, look, he is. I mean, he’s a dictator in the sense that he — he is a guy who runs a country that — it’s a communist country that is based on a form of government totally different than ours.”

Yes we have the president that we deserve in the USA. All lies and not reality!

A moron…
