On 3 March, MFA of Russia stated that it considers unacceptable US Secretary of State John Kerry's threats against Russia due to the latest events in Ukraine and Crimea. "By ignoring any attempts to study difficult processes in the Ukrainian society and to assess the situation, which continues to deteriorate after radicals seized power in Kiev by force the US Secretary of State uses ‘the Cold War' clichés and proposes to punish the Russian Federation and not who committed a coup d'état," the ministry said. On Sunday in an interview with NBC and CBS the US Secretary of State John Kerry said that the USA and other countries "are ready to isolate Russia" on the international arena because of the situation in Ukraine. The Press Office of the White House issued that G7 countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the U.S.) suspend preparations for G8 summit in Sochi.

Comment

It becomes obvious that the USA and Russia confrontation is gaining momentum. Once Moscow's interests went against the interests of Washington, so the US threatened Russia with sanctions. If just yesterday when meeting in preparing the Geneva-2 Conference John Kerry exchanged pleasantries with Sergei Lavrov, but today the US Secretary of State leads a very different rhetoric.

This reflects the reality of confrontation between Moscow and Washington, which lies in the fact that America is ready for confrontation with Russia unless it is beneficial to America itself. An example of this confrontation we see in Syria where Russia continues to support the bloody regime of Bashar and America pretends that considers the position of Russia. America can not just find a change to a murderous Assad and is interested in that he continues to murder the Muslims of Syria.

This is the reality of the enemies of the Islamic Ummah about whom the All-Knowing and Almighty Allah (swt) says:

((لَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ جَمِيعًا إِلَّا فِي قُرً‌ى مُّحَصَّنَةٍ أَوْ مِن وَرَ‌اءِ جُدُرٍ ‌ۚ بَأْسُهُم بَيْنَهُمْ شَدِيدٌ ۚ تَحْسَبُهُمْ جَمِيعًا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ شَتَّىٰ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَعْقِلُونَ))

"They will not fight you all except within fortified cities or from behind walls. Their violence among themselves is severe. You think they are together, but their hearts are diverse. That is because they are a people who do not reason." [TMQ 59:14]
