The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has warned his counterparts in the United States that some form of military response to the US stationing advanced weapons in Europe, is likely in the near future.

Ryabkov said that if NATO should proceed toward the deployment of new capabilities in weaponry, which, he added are being developed very rapidly in the US, the Russian military may respond in a way that “will inevitably and unavoidably damage the security of the US and its European allies.

RT reports: Speaking to the media after a day of crucial US-Russian negotiations on security guarantees in Geneva, Ryabkov also said that there has been no progress so far on Russia’s proposals to curb NATO expansion. He said that the ball is now in NATO’s court, which, in his words, has to finally make a “real step” toward finding common ground with  Russia.

We are calling on the US to demonstrate a maximum of responsibility at this moment. Risks related to a possible increase of confrontation shouldn’t be underestimated,” Ryabkov said, adding that “significant” effort has been made to persuade the Americans that “playing with fire” is not in their interests.

  1. England operates the American military through their Special Operations office within the pentagon. RT will never tell you the truth They’re only in the business of running anti American propagandas for England. That’s their Morality.

    • They will listen when the first blasts will turn the Metropolises of the USA into heaps of Radioactive Rubble . . .

      • I hope and expect that will never happen. One reason being that Putin, Lavrov and others are not sociopaths despite what the NYT and WAPO say.

        • It’s not their interest because in case of a full blown Nuclear War they have to divert their resources amongst the NATO – countries while these will unleash their weapons on Russia alone .

          • Any such exchange would be catastrophic and end modern society as we know it.. Two Katrinas (hurricanes) simultaneously could have set back America decades. There exist no modern strategies to deal with massive loss of life and infrastructure from weapons or nature. Nuclear war is impossible and unimaginable.. except maybe in the basements of Washington or Tel Aviv!
