U.S.-Russia Relations Intensify: Lavrov Says Russia's Relationship With US 'Worse Than During Cold War'
Conservative Brief ^ | 4/30 | Martin Walsh

Posted on 04/30/2021 6:52:44 AM PDT by TrumpianRepublican

The turmoil between Russia and the United States is intensifying.

Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova announced over the weekend that the U.S. has been placed on a list of countries Russia considers to be "unfriendly."

Moscow has been expelling diplomats from the U.S. embassy after the Biden administration's sanctions on Russia for the SolarWinds hacks of government agencies and election interference, both of which the Kremlin denies responsibility for. Now, the U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Russia has released a statement asking its citizens to leave Russia by June 15.

U.S.-based companies will no longer be able to hire any Russian contractors.

America will also no longer issue any new visas to Russia starting May 12 and will not extend and currently expiring visas.

Biden's admin also issued a "level 4" advisory this week to U.S. citizens and mentioned "terrorism" in the press release.

Lavrov is just sorry he doesn’t have Hillary to push around on the “reset” stage.

Ivan is saying that things were much more stable under Trump. Trump was predictable in that he put the USA first.

Trump also believe in Win-Win deals, that benefit both sides, instead of trying to rub their nose in it.

How could it be worse when for 3 years all anyone in DC talked about is Russia stole the election for Trump. Trump armed Ukraine with weapons, Trump sanctioned Russia, I really don’t get the difference 100 days makes?

Sergey Lavrov fan here. He is always direct, and never plays the drama queen games the US seems rife with on both sides of the aisle. He is a Russian National Treasure.

Maria Zakharova is a keeper, too. When I watch and listen to the measured demeanor of those two, and compare it to their American counterparts, it is like comparing a fine wine to Boone’s Farm, or Masterpiece Theater to Real Housewives of New Jersey.
