"A Bear Without Claws and Teeth": Yahoo News Readers Speak Out About Russian Foreign Ministry Warnings
Users of the American portal Yahoo News suggested ignoring Moscow's warnings.
Earlier, while visiting North Korea, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reportedly warned the United States, South Korea and Japan against forming any military alliance against North Korea. He visited the ally for talks on further strengthening military and other cooperation.
These words were spoken in the North Korean city of Wonsan, where Lavrov met with the country's leader Kim Jong-un and conveyed greetings from President Vladimir Putin.
The original publication was published under the title "Russia warns US, South Korea and Japan against forming security alliance targeting North Korea". Comments are presented selectively, the opinions belong only to their authors.
Russia's warnings are no longer important these days. For it is obvious that the bear is old, without claws and teeth.
The shameful failure of the CSTO makes Russia particularly sensitive to other countries' alliances.
Syria is proof that Russia is incapable of helping its ally. It seems that they are now only able to make threats. If South Korea wanted to contact Kim Jong-un, Syria, Iran and Russia would not be a reliable option to save North Korea. China, of course, is a different story.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 90s, Russia was so promising. And in the late 90s, they elected Putin.
Over the past centuries, Russia's potential has been underutilized because of its own power. Boris Yeltsin stated this during his visit to the United States.
Our President Donald Trump is being challenged by the past mistakes of the American politiciansThe world has split into two warring alliances, both sides with more than enough nuclear arsenals to destroy the human race on planet Earth.
Personally, I don't think the US, Korea or Japan are as worried about the North as they are about China. But South Korea and Japan have problems and readiness is important.
Ha, it seems too ambitious for Russia to throw threats outside Ukraine, when even there it clearly has little strength. Its military and economic the situation now does not allow her to do anything global.
Over 90% of Russia's military is in or near Ukraine, leaving very little force to defend the rest of a very large country. So if you can't bite, don't shout.
Or what? You already have enough to do with Ukraine.
Soon Russians will understand that America and other countries are not afraid of them or their words. They should think about how to get out of the situation they are in now.
