The Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation said that Russia received an informal proposal from the United States on issues of strategic stability and nuclear weapons control

Despite the strongest tensions between Russia and the United States since the Cold War, the countries do not cut off all contacts and maintain feedback on a number of important issues.

One of them is the area of ​​strategic security and nuclear arms control.

Let us recall that at the beginning of this year, our country suspended participation in the New START Treaty on the basis of regular violations of the treaty by the United States. In turn, this summer Washington stopped transmitting data to Moscow about the status of its strategic nuclear forces covered by the treaty.

Many experts have already characterized the current situation as a serious threat to the whole world, as it could lead to nuclear war.

At the same time, US President Joe Biden has a different opinion. After Russia suspended participation in the New START Treaty, he said that “the issue can be resolved” and he sees no signs of preparation for a nuclear war.

Apparently, Washington did not put off “resolving the issue” and sent the Russian authorities an unofficial proposal on issues of strategic stability and nuclear control weapons. Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergei Ryabkov told reporters about this.

According to the diplomat, the proposal is framed in the form of an unofficial aide-mémoire. At the same time, there is no novelty in the American initiative. At the moment, as Ryabkov put it, it is being studied in a “calm manner.” The Russian authorities will respond at the “due moment.”

the proposal is framed as an informal aide-memoire.

Is this like promises not to expand NATO to the East to Gorbachev? Their promises cannot be trusted even on paper.

[Comrade Kim]

Let's hope that our authorities will not make any concessions, in the style of Gorbachev's obligingly spread buttocks.

According to the diplomat, the proposal is framed in the form of an unofficial aide-mémoire. At the same time, there is no novelty in the American initiative. At the moment, as Ryabkov put it, it is being studied in a “calm manner.” The Russian authorities will respond at the “due moment.”

To put it in other words: “The United States was unable to create hypersonic weapons in a short time and is unlikely to succeed quickly, so they propose to start negotiations.”

According to the diplomat, the proposal is framed in the form of an unofficial aide-mémoire.

everything is official since the Second World War, it’s not worth a damn, but now it’s cheaper than the paper it’s written on. That’s it! The age of “chivalry and gentlemanliness” has passed, they lie, violate and don’t give a damn about everything, any contracts and agreements.

[ZovSailor]

Whoops, not even six months have passed, and I’m back again, only to leave again for six months.
It’s even scary to think that if the mountain does not go to Mohammed, then who will replace Mohammed?
will go to the mountain.
We know that true gentlemen always keep their word
gentleman, right, sir?
And, if according to our Russian custom, then you can’t trust either the mullers,
not to the Shvonders, but only to their faithful allies, as Alexander III said
army, navy and its people.

[tralflot1832]

Ryabkov also added about the “hostile attitude of the United States towards Russia.”/They don’t want us to achieve our goals in the Northern Military District. There is an option - the Zee regime capitulates to us, then we’ll sit down and talk. The US paper is drawn up in the usual American style, probably. Russia should. Already passed. But this is already encouraging, maybe in a couple of months we will answer. Having tested Sarmat and Burevestnik at full range.

[Volunteer Marek]

ABOUT! We've already been through this! Moreover, repeatedly
However, the “gullible” can be fooled.

This is understandable, because the seat is not made of iron. This is not something you want to do with someone else’s hands in Ukraine, or in the Gaza Strip to stir things up. This is a real threat that you may not be able to sit out overseas.

At the same time, there is no novelty in the American initiative.

That is, insanity still prevails over reason?

[Berg berg]

America is obliged to surrender its nuclear weapons under the full control of Russia in order to secure the world! And there should be no objections here - Russia is the guarantor of the whole world!

[Flashpoint]

Quote: Berg Berg

America is obliged to surrender its nuclear weapons under the full control of Russia in order to secure the world! And there should be no objections here - Russia is the guarantor of the whole world!

And all the gold reserves will be more secure with us!

[Gomunkul]

America is obliged to surrender its nuclear weapons to the full control of Russia

You wanted to say: “Russia will be satisfied only with the unconditional surrender of the United States and without any negotiations!”

[Amateur]

Another “we were asked”, and then “we were deceived”... How long can you step on the same mop?

[Huarabey]

Who stepped on this mop now?

[Amateur]

The Russian Foreign Ministry began discussing this “unofficial” piece of paper. If he had said that the Russian Federation refuses to discuss this problem until the United States stops funding the Kiev regime, supplies it with weapons and “turns a blind eye” to its war crimes, stops expanding NATO in Eastern Europe and lifts sanctions against the Russian Federation, then this would be serious. Because after “Istanbul” there is no faith not only in the West, but also in our own Foreign Ministry.

[PavelT]

And until the United States, as the country where the UN headquarters is located, begins UNCONDITIONALLY issuing visas to Russian diplomats at the UN.

[Huarabey]

What kind of stupidity is this? How does studying a piece of paper indicate some kind of rake and that ours will follow the lead of the gundos? But throwing a piece of paper into the trash without discussing it would be complete idiocy.

[rocket757]

The Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation said that Russia received an informal proposal from the United States on issues of strategic stability and nuclear weapons control

Apparently, no one has the desire/intention to lead to nuclear Armageddon.

[JonnyT]

Even the article did not add that growing diplomats do not consider cooperation with the United States regarding strategic stability in the current conditions and with the obvious sabotage course of the United States

[Brturin]

“They (USA - IF) propose to place dialogue on strategic stability and arms control on a systematic basis, and to do this in isolation from everything that is happening. We are not ready for this, because we believe that without changes to the deeply, fundamentally hostile course in In relation to Russia from the United States, a return to dialogue on strategic stability, including the topic of strategic offensive arms and other topics, in the form as previously practiced, is simply impossible,” Ryabkov noted. https://www.interfax.ru/russia/927443
“to do this in isolation from everything that is happening” - they understand the answer perfectly well, but the elections are coming and it is necessary to show that they are “good”; one of Biden’s first actions is to extend New START. voters in the states were somehow not very keen on the nuclear arms race - as an example - But the main conclusion of the polling study is that, regardless of how the phase-out of the ground component of US strategic nuclear forces occurs, 3 percent of Democrats and 69 percent of Republicans agree with the fact that the ground part of the nuclear triad must be completely eliminated. https://topwar.ru/53-oprosy-amerikanskij-izbiratel-v-jadernyh-voprosah-namnogo-miroljubivee-svoih-politikov.html

[Leshak]

If only the situation does not repeat itself when we hear the words: “We were deceived”! You shouldn’t believe their promises, but you should act in a way that is beneficial to Russia!

[alterego]

You need to study it while sitting on the toilet, and then use it for its intended purpose!

[digger]

any negotiations on the part of Russia regarding nuclear weapons should begin only with the preliminary condition - the removal of all nuclear weapons outside the United States from Europe and other parts of the world. Everything else is insignificant.

[Dilettante grandfather]

An informal proposal should not be considered at all. Let them send an official one, completely open both to the media and to every inhabitant of the planet.
In general, let them first fulfill their obligations under previous agreements. Chemical and bacteriological weapons will be destroyed. Then you can consider any proposals. Official.

[Chief Starshin]

Question. Which of the Americans submitted. And what is the benefit for them?

[Huarabey]

The benefit for them is to prevent Russia from increasing its nuclear potential so much that Russia is GUARANTEED to be able to destroy all NATO countries, even though some of the launched warheads will be shot down. Apparently now, at the moment, there is no balance in the nuclear arsenals of Russia and the NATO countries, and Russia is now strenuously correcting this situation, which naturally irritates the amers, which is why they make such attempts to “control” our strategic weapons.
Well, at the same time they are trying to earn “pluses for their karma”, like they are all so peace-loving and propose to limit the buildup of nuclear weapons, but “bad” Russia does not agree.

[APASUS]

The main thing is to promise, and then we’ll figure it out along the way. And all these American promises are perceived as law.

[Tektor]

Any piece of paper signed by the “West” can be used for its intended purpose.

[1536]

Why not send a counterproposal to the US government, stating that all American nuclear weapons should be immediately disposed of and subsequently liquidated? After this, we can talk about the disposal of nuclear weapons from other countries, including Russian.

[nordscout]

There is a proposal that is captivating with its novelty and originality: to send “once” partners from the USA, together with their unofficial memo, on an “exciting erotic walking journey”....
