Russian foreign minister says the US is “directly at war” with Moscow

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Saturday that the United States and other allies of Ukraine are "directly at war" with Moscow.

Lavrov had been asked by a journalist at what point the US becomes directly involved in war against Russia, as opposed to engaged in a proxy conflict.

“You can call this whatever you want to call this, but they are directly at war with us. We can call this a hybrid war, but that doesn’t change the reality,” Lavrov said. “They are effectively engaged in hostilities with us, using the Ukrainians as fodder,” he added.

We fight for the freedom democracy against the evil autocracies of Eurasia.

There can be no freedom democracy without war.

Attacks on freedom democracy at home and abroad will not be tolerated.

so by the same logic, Russia/Soviet Union was at war with the US during the Vietnam War, because they supported that country with money & weapons

Russia has been at war with the world since WW2 and even before that. If it were not for Germany, WW2 would have been Russia against the world.

No more so than Iran supplying military equipment to Moscow is at war against the USA.

Iran has been at war against the USA and its interests since the Shah of Iran was deposed. Similarly, Russia used Cuba in its wars against the USA.

Nothing is new or surprising.

Who started this war?

Ukraine was whole and at peace until then.

I’m positive that Sergey Lavrov knows about the Vietnam war and the Soviet’s part in it.

war by step-wise provocation but war now nevertheless

we may agree with fighting this war, we may disagree about it. but it is now warfare not just talk

Actually Putin gave a very cogent and coherent explanation of Russia’s response to NATO’s aggression.
The first few posts in this thread have been like stuff only Biden-buddies could say. Backing Ukraine with BILLION$$ of USA assets is a sign of mental disease.
No more foreign entanglements!!
