Surprise from Russia: Lavrov hinted that the USA will be responsible for visa scandal

6
On September 26, 2019, the Russian Foreign Ministry published an official response from Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to the question of Channel One. It was assigned "on the sidelines" of the 74th session of the UN General Assembly (GA, General Assembly) in New York, September 25, 2019.



It should be recalled that the journalist asked Lavrov exactly what Moscow’s response to Washington would be in connection with the refusal of US visas to members of the Russian delegation who were supposed to take part in the General Assembly. Earlier, they promised from Moscow to toughly respond to Washington's next clearly unfriendly move.

He will. We will declare our position here, we have already stated it - in an interview, and now at the conference to promote the entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, we will also make such a statement. We will prepare measures. Do not deprive us of the opportunity to make a surprise.

- said Lavrov.

It should be noted that the Kremlin expressed concern about the refusal of the American side to issue visas to Russians for “technical reasons”. In turn, Lavrov called it a shame. And this is not surprising, because in 2018 Moscow met the request of Washington and let into its territory Senator Ron Johnson, who is on the sanctions list but included in the delegation. Then Washington assured Moscow that it will continue to behave “in a mirror”. However, in practice, the Americans, once again, demonstrated their "exclusivity" and the word "gentleman."

    Surprise from Russia: Lavrov hinted that the United States will be responsible for the visa scandal.

    Well, for a long time it is time to begin to press minke whales, by their methods.

      Unfortunately, either the leadership of the Russian Federation does not have enough willpower for their methods, or the guts are just thin ... It would be high time to take away a couple of consulates to the devil's grandmother, expel half of the diplomats from the country, and nothing bad will happen if the percentage of the population of the Russian Federation that seeks to go overseas will remain without visas, will somehow survive ... Then they will catch several US citizens around the world (there is a rich choice, in the same Ukraine, even) and imprisoned until blue in the face under the article for violations Russian legislation ... And then immediately stop selling them rocket engines, titanium and other strategic raw materials, transporting their astronauts into space, etc. Conduct an investigation and provide evidence of the use of doping by American athletes - members of the Olympic team, so that the road was closed for 10 years for all international competitions ... Yes, I almost forgot, and smear all their famous politicians with "compromising information" on the topic of sexual harassment, years so 30-40 years ago, this is a very trump card there now, and let them be laundered ...
      That would be "their methods" ... And it will end, most likely, with an "asymmetrical" toothless response and expressions of concern ...

    It would never have occurred to anyone in the West to deprive the accreditation of Soviet diplomats at the UN General Assembly because the USSR was a scientific, industrial, and technological force to be reckoned with. The current Russian Federation has nothing to present to the world, except for Argentine cement. Therefore, they are deprived of accreditation. Goal thieves must know their place.
