Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said today in a televised interview that there is some kind of illusion in the United States that a war with Russia will not hit US territory; making clear U.S. territory WOULD be hit!
Speaking from the Russian Embassy in Washington, DC, the Ambassador's precise remarks are:
"We have said a hundred times that there can be no nuclear war between nuclear states, especially between the United States and Russia.
And there will be no winners.
But there is some kind of illusion here that if there is a conflict, it will not spread to the territory of the United States of America.
I am constantly trying to convey one thesis to them - the Americans will not be able to sit it out behind the waters of the ocean, this war will affect everyone.
Therefore, we constantly say: do not play with this rhetoric.
Here is video of the Interview in its original Russian language for anyone who wants to self-translate to assure accuracy:
WORSE:
Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov remarked today: ”The United States has given Kiev all the carte blanche to strike with long-range weapons deep into the Russian territory, Moscow’s response to it will be brutal”
He went on to say ”There is an element of serious risk here, because the opponents in Washington, London, and other places clearly underestimate the degree of danger of the game they continue to play.”
