The US Secretary of State answered why the White House does not include Russia in the list of countries sponsoring terrorism

The head of the US State Department, Anthony Blinken, in an interview with CNN, answered the question why Washington has not yet included Russia in the list of countries sponsoring terrorism.

Recall that Kyiv insisted on adding our country to the list, which today includes Iran, North Korea, Syria and Cuba, back in September. At the same time, Washington made it clear that they would not do this.

In his interview, the Secretary of State explained that the US authorities are constantly working on measures that could increase pressure on Moscow. At the same time, according to him, the inclusion of the Russian Federation in the list of countries sponsoring terrorism is associated with a number of problems that can result in extremely negative and unforeseen consequences.

However, Blinken added that the White House, along with Congress, is also considering ways to avoid some of the aforementioned difficulties.

The politician did not specify what exactly the consequences are. However, earlier, at the end of November, representatives of the White House explained that the inclusion of Russia in the list of countries sponsoring terrorism would make it very difficult for world powers to find diplomatic ways to de-escalate after the end of the conflict in Ukraine. In addition, it will "tie the hands" of NGOs involved in humanitarian assistance to Ukrainian citizens. And in general, the US authorities do not believe that such an approach will help solve the problems associated with the current geopolitical crisis.

It's all about mutually beneficial business ...., sanctions - sanctions, but entering the list is a taboo on economic interaction, then double standards cannot be explained by your own tobacco. The Tribalts declared, but at the same time they continue their economic activity ..., i.e. they farted into a puddle and continue to trade, hence the attitude towards them. The striped ones cannot afford this, they keep the brand, they cooperate, where it is beneficial for them.

Very strange findings. This is why mattress makers will not be able to trade with us if they declare us a sponsor of terrorists? The announcement will be made by the State Department, and private traders will trade. Business and nothing personal. After all, the Balts, as you yourself noticed, trade. And we supply the Outskirts with gas. Business, tram-ta-ra-ram. Site rules, you know.

They have such special legislation on this topic.
If they recognize it, the end of all dollar payments in the Russian Federation.
Blinkin spoke for a long time. And he could just say: NOT FAVORABLE.

About the benefit, of course, yes, but the Americans themselves had such a snout that they had better keep silent about the "sponsors of terrorism" and they are well aware of this. For this, there are talking heads from among the allies in the European Union. Moreover, the world is far from stupid, everyone sees everything perfectly and that the tales about the "terrorist country" distributed in the West are believed only in the same West. So to speak for internal use.

So it is, but the States consider themselves masters
world where everything is possible. Only and everything.
"Order based on rules" - the power of the United States.

Alkaida who created? Who gave birth to Osama bin Laden?
Striped.
So why doesn't Russia declare the US a sponsor of terrorism?

Because the government is obliged to look into the future, and not live for today. The war will end and you will have to establish new relations with the world. It will be easier and more profitable to establish it, while maintaining some kind of foundation. OUR country is more profitable.

yeah it's understandable. He is a healer. Most likely introduced through a refugee grandfather. went over to the camp of the darkest.

Anthony Blinken during an interview with CNN answered the question...

Nobody is interested in his explanation, he answered what they wanted to hear from him. For normal and sober-minded people and without it, everything is clear and understandable.

. Okay, they’ll bring in ... they’ll spoil themselves and their allies, that’s all.

[DymOk_v_dYmke]

It is no less important for them to spoil the allies than to spoil the Russian Federation.
This is done with minimal infringement of their economic interests.

[rocket757]

Allies, for them, in thirty-third place ... but they can screw up their own.
In general, everything is as always ... allies to be slaughtered, but they themselves were cunning, cunning and will be cunning, only in their own direction.

Sarmat, Vanguard, Poseidon, Ash, Borey, Zircon, or something I forgot, oh yes, AK 74 to the heap. If we only had the latter, we would instantly recognize anyone.

They are just afraid that then products will fly out in the direction of the United States as you wrote, and they will arrive already - Sarmat ibn Avangard Japanamatani, Poseidon al Yasen nuyonakhshakhani, Borey ash Zircon yokarnybabayliki, and of course AK74 bekmani.

[North Caucasus]

Sarmat, Vanguard, Poseidon, Ash, Boreas, Zircon or something I forgot, oh yes AK 74 to the heap

These products somehow do not interfere with the fight against us on the outskirts. And on the outskirts, which of these is used? Poseidon? Hypersound? And the statements that the confiscated money of Russia will be used to restore (assistance) to Ukraine? And who blew up the gas pipeline? Poseidon of Russia? In fact, they spit on the Russian arms depot! And not be afraid to organize provocations against Russia. They tried to demolish the Old Man. Won Kazakhstan (so far, it seems like not officially) is already making some kind of territorial claims to Russia. And how many claims the former republics have already made! We are silent about the outskirts. Turkey does not claim Crimea. And the outskirts considers him theirs. And even territories up to the Urals. And who is inciting them? And the collapse of the USSR? How could a country with an army, navy, aviation, nuclear weapons be deprived of its territories and zones of influence? And not a single NATO soldier entered the territory of the USSR!

[Salt]

I think that this is unprofitable for the USA not only economically.
There are also other reasons.
It is a little strange to recognize a country as a sponsor of terrorism with the second stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world.
Good sponsor!

[nemez]

Well, in terms of reserves, it is not known who has more. They have not replenished their reserves for a long time, and ours, I think, will not tell the whole truth.

[Ulan.1812]

Mattress toppers will be smarter than gay people.
Just in case, leave a loophole for the future.
Europe will break all ties, and then again ... and Washington will come out in the role of a peacemaker.
Again Europe is a minus, mattress covers are a plus.
The world community applauds.

[Petr_Koldunov]

Wait... what's the list of arguments for excuses? There are only two options: if a country sponsors terrorism, it is recognized (or they pretend not to notice). If there are no grounds, then it is not recognized as such. That's all! And to sculpt a hunchback on the topic "yes, not in general the sponsors of terrorism, but we do not recognize them as such, because it will be more difficult to agree later ..." bullshit!
America, be ashamed! After all, once you had sane diplomats!

• Syria (2014-2015)
There are more than 20 states on the list. China urged "never forget who is the real threat to the world."
Were there outrages from the Western community regarding the United States?
Were there loud accusatory cries?
Were there sanctions against the United States at least once?
This whole hypocritical world caudle sits quietly with its tongue in one place, when the USA nightmares countries like a real bandit (Why "as if"?). Not an exclamation, not a shadow of reproach, not a glimpse of indignation. Cowardly, shameless, hypocritical creatures! I would spit on everyone in his hypocritical mug and would poke his nose into this list.
