Russian diplomat should unilaterally shit a brick.
Yeah, this is gonna go badly.
>I can say that <…> the requirements of the US and other NATO countries on our implementation of certain de-escalation measures on our territory are out of discussion. This is non-starter in the literal sense of the word.
Umm… then why should the West discuss the same on its territory?
The Russians are bluffing imo, they don’t have the money to sustain a lenghty occupation/war in Ukraine. Russia is a country in decline, and they can’t see past themselves. Gonna be like Yugoslavia when Putin dies
>YELTSIN: I ask you one thing. Just give Europe to Russia. The U.S. is not in Europe. Europe should be the business of Europeans. Russia is half European and half Asian.

>CLINTON: So you want Asia too?

>YELTSIN: Sure, sure, Bill. Eventually, we will have to agree on all of this.

>CLINTON: I don’t think the Europeans would like this very much.

>YELTSIN: Not all. But I am a European. I live in Moscow. Moscow is in Europe and I like it. You can take all the other states and provide security to them. I will take Europe and provide them security. Well, not I. Russia will.
I often hear Russians accused of being pessimistic, and I feel that that might be something of an unjust charge.
