I’m glad you posted this interview. Here’s a real key takeaway from the interview I took:

[article excerpt]
“Russia has never stopped efforts to reach agreements that will guarantee the non-initiation of a nuclear war,” he emphasized in an interview with Italy’s Mediaset broadcaster.

Lavrov pointed out that Western media outlets had distorted his remarks on the risks of nuclear war, which did no credit to Western journalism.
“I was asked about the threats that were piling up and how real the risks of nuclear war were. This is literally what I said: Russia has been working tirelessly to achieve agreements that would guarantee no one will start a nuclear war. It was us that urged our American colleagues to once again do what Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan did in 1987, that is, adopt a statement and confirm that there could be no winners in a nuclear war and it should never be unleashed,” Lavrov noted.”

Russia doesn’t want nuclear war, no matter what some moron panelist or guest on their RT or other channels might say. They’re not stupid.
The “Russia going to use nukes!” hype is meant to get Western audiences invested in the drama, as is the new force authorization resolution by Kinzinger.
Go turn on CNN. They’re wall-to-wall on Ukraine. There’s a reason for that, and it’s not about ratings or to help the GOP.
The focus on Ukraine is meant to help Biden and the Dems. Which is why Pelosi just went over there.
Spot on.
No, the “Russia going to use nukes!” hype is being used by the pro-Putinists to get the west to stop sending help to Ukraine.
“What, you want to start a nuclear war for Ukraine? Just let Russia have it.”
The Dems are focusing on the Russian invasion because its broadly condemned by both conservatives and liberals and so its seen as an easy way to score points. Biden was much more reluctant to really do anything until it became clear how widely Putin was disliked and now he’s gungho.But the idea some here seem to have that because the Dems are screaming about how they are antiPutin conservatives should be proPutin is completely idiotic. Its like saying Freepers should be against growing the economy if the Dems are making a lot of noise how they are for it.
