In his opinion, American diplomacy "always acts from a position of strength."

However, the interlocutor of RT is sure that such information may have a real basis.

“If the United States takes such provocative actions, and they must be viewed from precisely this angle, then they will only harm global security and their own relations with Russia,” Mezukho concluded.
