US Department of State: We call on foreign countries to refuse to buy weapons from Russia

74
The spokesman for the US Department of State, Heather Nauert, during a briefing, said that Washington had turned to foreign partners about the need to abandon deals in the military-technical sphere with the Russian Federation. First of all, we are talking about the fact that the United States is “discouraging” third countries from purchasing weapons and military equipment from Russia.

If you believe Nauert, then to date, "some countries" have already abandoned transactions in the military-technical industry in the amount of about 3 billion dollars. It was noted that this is due to the previously imposed sanctions against a number of Russian defense companies.



US Department of State: We call on foreign countries to refuse to buy weapons from Russia


Heather Nauert:
Our embassies abroad received directives from the State Department on the need to dissuade the government of the country from cooperation with Russia in the defense industry. Today we are satisfied with the results.


These statements prove that the US uses its sanctions as an element of unfair competition, including for this kind of competition in the international arms export market, where Russia holds a strong second place. Earlier, the Russian defense industry shared information that the export order portfolio is about 47 billion dollars for several years to come.

          What are the criteria for evaluating patriotism?

          Probably for such:
          Patriot is not the same
          Who does not lie, does not steal, does not drink
          Just with all my heart for the people
          Patriot, patriot

          Since people steal and drink
          That steals and drinks the patriot
          How can you betray your people
          Patriot, patriot?

          If a jamb happened somewhere
          The enemy is solely to blame
          Expects sabotage from the "State Department" (US Department of State - Editor's Note)

          That he himself didn’t hammer a nail somewhere (he scored)
          He forgot about it immediately (he forgot)
          He doesn’t sweep rubbish from the hut
          Patriot, patriot

          Natural as beets in borsch
          He hates gay people
          But, at the same time, he sings with a tear
          Songs with Russian pop

          Here it’s like: if gay, but for us
          He’s not quite ...
          He sings well for Russia!
          Says patriot, patriot

          He rides an old Moscow
          On the broken-up in the trash "beemve" (brand of German cars BMW - approx. Editor)
          But you find yourself in a traffic jam behind him
          And you read on the glass "To Berlin!"

          And the whole family goes to the cinema (he goes)

          And popcorn hates but eats

      Calm down ... And look at everything wider ... Russia (the Central Bank, whose 80% of the profits go directly to the budget) invests in US government bonds and makes money on it !!! So, 106 billion in US government bonds now bring about 2,3-2,4% per annum, that is, the United States annually pays Russia $ 2,5 billion of coupons alone, which is enough for example for 1000 T-90 tanks a YEAR !!!
      In addition, an increase in investments in US bonds (as in other countries) occurs automatically, since the gold reserves of Russia are constantly replenished, with one gold per 200 tons per year, investments in bonds of foreign countries (but not all, but only reliable EU countries, are proportionally growing, USA)...

    Here it is the face of the "standard" of democracy. US political power has always been and is in the hands of oligarchic clans, including those related to the production of weapons. The United States is conducting an “sanctioned” struggle precisely with those areas where we are in real competition with these clans. In the absence of the US holding back force, which was the USSR, this hotbed of criminal capitalism came out of its shores and began to wreak havoc around the world, especially where Russia (the Union) provided assistance in developing the economy, culture and education.

    The purpose of the latest sanctions was announced right at the time of introduction.
    Their main task is to ensure the supply of American weapons in the world by non-competitive means. Everything else is all fuss and decay.
    But I see no reason to worry. C-400 fly like hot cakes along with T-90, Sunflowers and other complexes. In addition, after all, we still don’t know everything, and at the exit there are many units and structures capable of leveling any amount of adversary with any amount of land.
    Onet was late in general. Before the Syrian events, or better, a decade ago, something else would have happened. Now it’s impossible. Moreover, payments can now be made not only through bucks and euros, but also through the yuan. The sanctions sector has narrowed sharply. Let the snot and drool wipe away.
