MOSCOW: A senior Russian diplomat has warned Western ruling circles against aggressive statements calling for defeating Russia, a nuclear power.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov recalled that Russia has repeatedly stated, including at the top level, that "there can be no winners in a nuclear war, which must never be unleashed."
But, in his words, the West "is ignoring elementary and, as a matter of fact, absolutely obvious principles," such as the idea that a nuclear power "can never be defeated," and is indulging in "super-aggressive and super-irresponsible statements," a sign of the "utter degradation of the political establishment."
"It looks like these people have gone off the rails, with their brakes totally failed," he told TASS. "But those who keep on testing us must go to sleep and wake up knowing that they are dealing with a nuclear power."
