MOSCOW, November 9. /TASS/. US behavior in the strategic stability dialog looks pretty much like what often happens in cases of bipolar disorder, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has said.

"The Americans are notorious for their dual approaches. There can simultaneously coexist both fundamental denial of certain realities, which, no matter how much they may postulate the opposite, are still observed regardless of their will, and at the same time attempts to influence this very reality, in other words, to eliminate it or change it somehow," Ryabkov said in an interview with RTVI. "I believe that this is a manifestation of bipolarity not in the geopolitical sense, as it was said in the Cold War era, but a brain problem, if you don’t mind my saying so."

"I think that what they really need is to reorganize themselves a little bit somehow and look at themselves more sensibly and soberly before we will be able to discuss something like this with them substantively," Ryabkov stressed.
