Shoigu threatened to respond to the appearance of American missiles near the borders of the Russian Federation

12

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu noted the importance of agreements between the Russian Federation and NATO, including on the deployment of American missiles near the borders with Russia - he said this in an interview with the Kazakh Tengrinews TV channel.

According to Shoigu, the agreement on medium and short-range missiles was quite acceptable, but the Americans initiated artificial reasons to leave this agreement. Moscow has pledged not to deploy these weapons systems near the borders with the Alliance countries if there are no such missiles in Europe.



If such weapons are deployed, we will naturally respond appropriately.

- Threatened the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense, stressing that this response could be in the Asian direction as a reaction to the missile threat from Japan or South Korea.

At the same time, Sergei Shoigu notes serious progress in the dialogue on offensive weapons with the new US presidential administration, which was expressed in the extension of the START treaty - the steps of the Biden cabinet in this sense are encouraging. The United States has finally moved from impracticable conditions of cooperation to a constructive and normal conversation with Russians.

The minister also expressed the hope that a full-format and equal dialogue between the Russian Federation and the North Atlantic Alliance will resume in the future.

      The Russian Federation is constantly talking about the non-expansion of NATO, the deployment of S-Shas missiles in Europe, the treaty on intermediate and shorter-range missiles - what's the point?
      The Scandinavian military alliance includes Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland - what is this if not a NATO affiliate and what is the reaction of the Russian Federation to this?
      Because there will be 100% missiles, and Sweden, Finland, Moldova, Georgia will officially join NATO, and Ukraine, in fact, for now, and all of them will have military bases.
      An equal dialogue between the Russian Federation and the North Atlantic Alliance does not work until the Russian Federation responds adequately - exercises should be conducted not in Siberia, the Far East and the Caucasus, but in Belarus, Karelia, Novgorod, Pskov, St. Petersburg, Belgorod, Rostov provinces with imitation of Strategic Missile Forces, aviation and a fleet of nuclear strikes on the European members of NATO, and diplomatically not to wipe off after each NATO spit at the Russian Federation, but to respond with the same coin as the PRC, DPRK, Iran do.
      The DPRK cannot be compared with the Russian Federation, but at the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang it performed under its own flag and anthem, unlike the Russian Federation, which is not ordered to perform even under unsewn felt boots, raspberry-kalinka and other daring folk songs.

        and respond with the same coin as the PRC, DPRK, Iran do.

        There is no way to answer "in Chinese": the weak economy, nurtured by the efforts of Kudrin, Nabiulina, Siluanov on the Gaidar-Chubais sourdough, does not allow.
        And the last two are rogue countries, which are just like zapadlO.
        Therefore, "folk daring songs" have to be used "in the domestic market."

          The DPRK and Iran were called outcasts by the Sshasovites, and the Russian Federation was called the enemy. Horseradish radish is not sweeter and does not change the essence.

          In this regard, you should contact the IOC and other Sshasov international organizations, which prohibit flying the state flag of the Russian Federation, and at the same time the government of the Russian Federation with the question of why they are so servile putting Sshasov's jurisdiction above international law and will submissively submit to this, unlike the DPRK. eg.

      This photo of the main defender of Russia is very rare: he usually has a gloomy appearance, and his knitted eyebrows do not bode well for the enemies.
      A person of multifaceted talents - a builder, party member, rescuer, governor, protector. No joke, thirty years in the government, starting with the "saints of the nineties." Since then, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge in the Moskva River, a lot, and we will not have time to look back as we will "enter" the 1981 Brezhnev Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU.
      But in that distant 90st, a native of the village of Privolnoye, who recently celebrated his XNUMXth birthday, was already a member of the Politburo and was preparing the Food Program.
      The tragedy has already been experienced, and the second time everything will be repeated in the form of a farce, to which I do not even hope to live.

      During the Great Patriotic War, one million Soviet citizens served in the Wehrmacht troops. If there is a war, it will be a war of missiles and aircraft To fight for the Motherland is one thing, and there are few willing to fight for Putin and his friends. In addition, the army is already living and studying abroad. potential future enemies. As one American politician put it:

      Think about whose people they are, yours or ours, if they have real estate and work here

      The people were lowered nowhere further. Salary of 17000-20000 rubles. for young scientists, a lady from the government recently said this normally. Guess what country these scientists will work for?

      It is regrettable that Poland takes part in this. But don't worry, real Poles understand that our country is ruled not by Poles, but by Jews. We will soon overthrow their rule and turn to you with an outstretched brotherly hand.
