TASS: Russian delegation declares start of ‘countdown’ in wait for adoption of Russian proposals

“There arrives a moment of truth when the West either accepts our proposals or other ways will be found to safeguard Russia’s security,” the head of the Russian delegation at the Vienna Negotiations on Military Security and Arms Control Konstantin Gavrilov said.

VIENNA, January 19. /TASS/. The West faces the moment of truth, which has started the countdown in wait for the adoption of Russian proposals on security guarantees addressed to the United States and NATO, Konstantin Gavrilov, the head of the Russian delegation at the Vienna Negotiations on Military Security and Arms Control, said on Wednesday.

Gavrilov spoke at the meeting of the OSCE Forum for Security Cooperation, which is first in 2022.

“There arrives a moment of truth when the West either accepts our proposals or other ways will be found to safeguard Russia’s security,” Gavrilov said. “I am convinced that with goodwill and a willingness to compromise in any situation, it is possible to find a way out to mutually acceptable solutions. We are running out of time. The countdown begins.”

The Russian diplomat believes that what is at stake is to minimize military spending and to resolve the security issues, which are not pressing for Russia alone, but for all the nations in Eurasia and the Euro-Atlantic area as well.

Gavrilov pointed out that the NATO actions had resulted in fragmentation of the pan-European space and inflicted huge damage to the authority of the OSCE, which has turned into a hostage of the narrow agenda of the “collective West.”

In these circumstances, the Russian delegation will henceforth be coming up at the OSCE Forum for Security Cooperation with just the issues that meet its own national interests, the head of the Russian delegation stressed.

On December 17, 2021, the Russian Foreign Ministry published a draft agreement with the United States on security guarantees and another one on measures ensuring the security of Russia and NATO member states. Russia-US consultations on these issues were held in Geneva on January 10. A Russia-NATO Council meeting was held in Brussels on January 12. On January 13, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich presented these proposals at a meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna.

What could go wrong with China Joe the Oppressor directing the US delegation on how to negotiate with Russia? Sorry my error. Let me restate my sentence. What could go wrong with the Zionist / neo-con / CFR / woke LGTB military complex instructing China Joe the Oppressor how to start a war with Russia.

Question for the Group:

You come home late at night because of working an overtime shift. You do not gas up your vehicle, you will do it in the morning. You take a shower, surf the net for a half hour and go to bed. You are beat.

You wake up in the morning and the sun is in your eyes and clearly your alarm clock did not go off. You are sure that you set it. You go to the coffee maker and it does not work. There is no internet or cell phones working. It is clear that there is a power outage on this cool crisp sunny day. You look outside and people are walking around in the street.

You go to your next door neighbor’s house and knock on the door. His wife tells you that her husband is in his Ham Radio shack and tells you to go in. Most Ham Radio operators have back up power, solar and batteries. Your neighbor tells you that power is out all over the country. Talking to several Hams it appears that a massive Cyber attack has knocked out the power grid. Last night Russia invaded Ukraine.

Non of the normies know what is going on. You always keep $500.00 in cash in your house for emergencies. You go to the store and they are open, cash only. The gas stations are closed because there is no electricity to pump fuel. You do not know if there are any gas stations in the area that have backup generators to pump fuel. You have $500.00 cash in your pocket, what do you do. Top off your preps at the store? Search for gas? How long does it take the Normies to figure out that SHTF?

There is NOTHING in the stores WORTH Coming home to a flaming house or worse.

Pre-planned SOP’s go into effect.
