RUSSIA WARNS MAY SEVER BILATERAL TIES WITH U.S. – ‘INDEED, IF THE TERROR LABEL WERE ATTACHED TO EVERY INVASION THAT'S ACCOMPANIED BY ALLEGED WAR CRIMES, THE U.S. GOVT WOULD HAVE TO DESIGNATE ITSELF'

A Russian diplomat warned that if his country is declared a state sponsor of terrorism, it could not only harm US-Russo relations but potentially sever them completely. On Friday, Alexander Darchiyev, director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's North American department told the TASS news agency: 'I would like to mention the legislative initiative currently being discussed in Congress to declare Russia a ‘country sponsor of terrorism.' If passed, it would mean that Washington would have to cross the point of no return, with the most serious collateral damage to bilateral diplomatic relations, up to their lowering or even breaking them off.
