Russia’s top diplomat accuses the West of being led by “gopniks” (a slang term for violent petty criminals) and fashionistas and claims NATO is the root of all conflicts in Europe. However, it has not gone so far as to consider Russia’s own role in the war.
Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov has a long list of complaints against the United States, including political incompetence, provocation, rewriting history, and provoking nuclear brinkmanship. Russia is clearly innocent of these crimes, but America’s Western allies are mindless “fashionistas” dancing to whatever mood music is coming out of Washington, politicians fume. did.

Ryabkov said Russia has always warned the United States about these follies, and because these follies have been ignored, now “they are playing with fire. Russia is playing with fire.” Stated. They have long been in a proxy war with the Russian Federation. ” Ryabkov, a career diplomat who began his service during the Soviet Union and survived the transition to the Russian Federation, believes that if the United States continues on its current path, it will be difficult to prevent a cascading breakdown in international relations that could lead to war. He said it would become increasingly difficult.
Ryabkov offers suggestions as to why the United States is not heeding Russia’s warnings, including that Russian leaders have fallen into a bunker mentality and are unwilling to accept outside information. Ultimately his argument is that the US government is too stupid and unsophisticated to understand.
Reversing some of the most common criticisms leveled at President Vladimir Putin’s Russia that it is led by corrupt mafia gangs, Mr. Ryabkov adopted the Russian nickname for low-ranking sociopathic petty criminals, “gopniks.” Expanded to American leadership. America’s European allies are also not immune to this onslaught of insults, as they are accused of being guided by “fashionistas” who flock to the latest ideas without critical thinking.
Ultimately, Ryabkov said NATO was to blame for the war in Ukraine and the diplomatic impasse, as it expanded eastward toward Russia’s borders with new member states in a “mad march.” This, he said, was in pursuit of the “illusion” of security. These statements make the fact that Russia wants to push its borders eastward completely open, and in the pursuit of security, Putin himself is now trying to establish what he calls a “buffer zone” in Ukraine. was also done without reflecting the fact that they were fighting.

Russian comments about US and NATO involvement in the invasion of Ukraine can often lead to nuclear threats, and although they were implicit in Ryabkov’s comments, they were less overt than in other cases. Ta. He said NATO is “literally ready to balance on the brink of direct armed conflict with us,” and that Russia will mirror the U.S. nuclear posture but won’t be the first to act. insisted.
Despite these claims, Russia has taken treaty-breaking actions by giving its neighbor and proxy Belarus access to nuclear weapons and further promising to do the same to other countries that wish to become Russia’s allies, and has committed to non-proliferation. caused concern in the community.
A less escalating comment from Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was to announce that the United States would no longer be invited to Russia’s annual Victory Day parade (May 9), which celebrates the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945. . Western dignitaries also attended the parade. The 2010 exhibition featured post-Cold War American presidents, as well as troops from the United States, Britain, France, Poland and other allies parading alongside Russian troops.
It was claimed that the invitation was rejected because the United States was trying to rewrite history to minimize Russia’s contribution to the war. In any case, the US has not been invited to the parade since Moscow re-invaded Ukraine in 2022, and the conduct of recent events has already completely eliminated the role of the UK and US.
