WTF? Russia Warns U.S. Politicians Against Blaming It for Anything During 2020 Race

[spanone]

A senior Russian diplomat has sent a pre-emptive warning to U.S. lawmakers ahead of the 2020 presidential election, suggesting that repeated allegations of Kremlin meddling could seriously damage relations between the two countries.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov suggested that accusations of Russian meddling in past American elections are baseless, despite ample evidence uncovered by investigators to the contrary.

Ryabkov made his remarks while addressing the International Valdai Discussion Club, state news agency Tass reported. The organization was established to "promote dialogue between Russian and international intellectual elite," according to its website.

Ryabkov told attendees that the "overall situation around Russia—the relations of Russia with the U.S.—are not improving."

We'd better do as we're told, or we'll be risking their displeasure.
