  1. >There is no need to expand NATO, Russia is not a threat. But unless you officially agree not to expand we will keep invading our neighbors!

  2. *Ryabkov insisted, however, that there can’t be any meaningful talks on those issues if the West doesn’t heed the main Russian requests for the non-expansion of NATO.*

    Let’s our side insist that without the public sepukku of the current Russian government there can’t be any meaningful talks.

    Come on, Putin, I’ll personally sharpen the knife for you. Be reasonable.

  3. >Ryabkov suggested that the US could also take a unilateral obligation to never vote for NATO membership for Ukraine and other ex-Soviet nations.

    If you want a guarantee of a nay vote on accession, I don’t think that demanding to talk to specifically the US was such a great idea, Ryabkov.
