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.

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.
Did Lav mention that they, not us, started the war ?
Nonsense.
We began the war. Russia accepted the invitation.
we are backing the wrong country....but not me....I am totally against us giving anything to Ukraine..
“If it were not for Germany, WW2 would have been Russia against the world.”
*****
This is the first time in history anyone has every made that claim.
We aren’t but then they’d say that anyway Ukraine war or not. Enjoy the carnage Vlad. Hope the mommas forgive you. Actually I don’t. Teachable moment.
The Ukrainiacs post nonsense daily.
Taking a que from some of our politicians and media.
Ukraine was whole and at peace until then.
Cue...
I’m positive that Sergey Lavrov knows about the Vietnam war and the Soviet’s part in it.

this is unfortunately true
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!!
True. But irrelevant.
So cookies started the war...
Quit making sense...you’re harshing the zeep.
