Washington called the conditions for improving relations with Moscow

Improving bilateral relations between the United States and Russia is possible only if two conditions are met - Moscow’s implementation of the Minsk agreements and refusal to intervene in the "American democratic processes." This was stated by US First Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan at a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the US State Department said in a statement.

First Deputy Secretary of State Sullivan confirmed to Foreign Minister Lavrov that improving relations depends on Moscow’s fulfillment of the Minsk agreements and refusal to undermine our democratic processes

- said the head of the press service of the State Department, Morgan Ortegus.



As the State Department explained, the meeting between Sullivan and Lavrov took place on the sidelines of the G20 summit ahead of Sullivan's assumption of the post of US ambassador to Russia. The parties discussed a wide range of issues, including North Korea and Syria.

Earlier, Russia has repeatedly stated that it is not a party to the conflict in the Donbass and, accordingly, a party to the Minsk agreements. The parties to these agreements are the people's republics of Donbass and Ukraine, and it is they who must fulfill their obligations. Russia, along with Germany and France, is only a guarantor of the implementation of the agreements.

Ensuring diplomatic and consular relations of the Russian Federation with foreign states, relations with international organizations, meetings, discussion of problems, decision-making on urgent problems, search for compromises is his job. Or is the word diplomacy something unknown for you?

Only Madeleine Albright remembers him with a kind word, and she was "lucky" not to work with Lavrov. Where exactly is he justified? Or to solve the numerous problems that have accumulated in the relationship, while proving your innocence in your "deep" opinion is called making excuses?

            It’s just that Lavrov is trying to explain to these rams one simple truth, which is that Russia is not a party to the conflict. Nothing else, in terms of excuses, is written in the article.
            PS-mattresses put forward precisely such conditions that cannot be met a priori, because there are no such conditions, and therefore there will never be improvements with Moscow. It’s like in a joke about a traffic cop and a sandblast driver;

          It is better to formulate the problem right away, then extinction may not be necessary. Just as overly belligerents are forced into peace without their complete destruction, other pests can be forced to refuse to do harm in many ways, without them infiltrating us with sympathy. Although this is longer, it is also impossible to accept destruction as the most effective way to solve problems. It is fraught with the transfer by people of this method to solving personal problems, in addition to the fact that, as a rule, it creates new problems.

      Washington called the conditions for improving relations with Moscow

      Interestingly, is the opinion of Washington so important for Russia itself, without which it is impossible to sit or stand up? Or do they hope in the Washington regional committee to keep the Russian people in a state of constant amazement?
      Not for business, gentlemen Americans! With Russia it is necessary:
      “Do not hope that once you take advantage of Russia's weakness, you will receive dividends forever. Russians always come for their money. And when they come - do not rely on the Jesuit agreements that you have signed, supposedly justifying you. They are not worth the paper on which they are written. Therefore, it’s worth playing with the Russians honestly or not at all. ”

      Decision makers must address the challenges they face. And then do not be sad that "I was deceived", because this is no longer a personal matter (although for any alpha leader who deserves to rule it, at least, it is offensive), but we all suffer, both moral and material.
      And at least for "cheated" there should be a response so that it was discouraging. And if for this it is necessary to promise any punishments, sanctions or steps - this must be done, otherwise we simply invite and provoke to do with us and further on the same scenario.
      Moreover, the global task is to warn against any military steps against us, seriously and seriously, and what kind of expressions to find it is necessary to find - in my opinion harder than now.
      In response to the show with the Skripals, we were supposed to kick the British ambassador into the neck, and not then react to their actions. This is so, for example. And in response to the lack of contacts with the daughter of Skripal, a Russian citizen, the British citizen should disappear, until the issue is clarified. An eye for an eye, otherwise - we are the second grade, it is possible with us, it is not with them.

      A possible American ambassador to Russia should not expose ANY conditions of Russia, but it’s nice to be kind and appease (at least in words) Russia. And he was immediately rude - that means he should not be an ambassador!
