NATO offers arms talks as Russia warns situation is 'dangerous' • FRANCE 24 English

NATO said on Wednesday it was willing to talk to Russia about arms control and missile deployments to avert the risk of war in Europe, but Moscow said the situation was "very dangerous" and the way forward was unclear.

If NATO has an open door policy, then why did they prevent Russia from joining NATO. I think it was the military industrial complex who prevented Russia from joining. If there is no perceived threat then how can you sell weapons?

[waasar]

I love how half the comments are about how weak NATO is in Europe yet how much of a threat to Russia. Makes so much sense...

[williamlanger]

Nato to themselves: Okay, as long as we keep talking, there can't be a war.
Nato to Russia during the 15th day of talks: so... what's your favourite colour??

[lizdegerdon]

How acceptable is it to have any foreign forces along USA borders??! Such as in Cuba?? Mexico? Canada?

[nosferatuoddz]

Nato promised Russia that they would not expand their influence on former Soviet countries. Yet they been attempting to do so ever since

(Edit)
It's what the Russian deputy says, if both the EU and Nato don't want a large Russian military presence at the Ukrainian-Russian border, then they should withdrawal their support to Ukraine. Stronger Nato means weaker and vulnerable Russia, they are a huge threat.

Why do Russia even want to negotiate with nato, I don't get it Russia need to give them a lesson that's all

Why won’t everyone just grow up!?
I hope people will soon realise that it’s actually only a few people acting like this, power hungry people, people that don’t have to go and fight on the battlefield. No one else wants war, no one else wants to kill another human being……just stop!

[arondebreceni]

For NATO and America, this conflict is a military game, but for Europe it is a real threat. Yet Europe remains silent.

[kompila]

I am afraid all these high profile meetings results futile :(

[freeloader]

I feel like this is a bunch of old men with too much time on their hands who will never see a single minute in the line of fire if they start a war poking each other in the eye to see who swings the first fist so the other can claim “self defense” and then blow the entire world to smithereens because they’re old, bored and tired of staring at all their neat toys.

[beepcgoldrule.]

That woman has the wrong response and tone to Russia

[costabandale]

Who cares about ur consequence costs?
Europe's will suffer the consequences rather than Russia.

[legend]

Russian massing even 1 million troops it is in their territory not in united states or nato borders. Nonsense

[nuevovisionpictures]

Russa and the West? That's the headline? How about being realistic? Russa and the United States sounds more true, cause the other Europeans would struggle on their own.

[lokeshmahawer]

Are they undereducated / Overeducated / Uneducated ? these few faces will turn earth into ashes if situation went out of control, These guys lived their miserable life and now trying to make others life more miserable

[james-imsj]

Russia is not going to do anything they are all talk.

[louisloseau]

Geez, you can smell the war absurdly plain. You have to be brain dead to not clearly see how this movie will end. What can go wrong here. Lol. Get ready

[Diwana]

They look so intelligent mouthing these words. The clock is ticking ⏰⏰⏰

[dr.feelgood]

Russia does not warn, it states a fact.
