The Deputy Secretary General of NATO Alexander Vershbou compared the policy of Russia and the Islamic State terrorist group (ISIS). According to RIA Novosti, he made such a statement during the Internet conference on Security Jam.

“Both the non -Soviet revisionism of Mr. Putin, and ISIS terrorism have their own characteristics,” said Vershbow. “But both use the same means - intimidation and violence - to achieve the same goal: to refuse to recognize democracy, tolerance and supremacy as basic values ​​in international relations. And one is part of the movement of non -recognition” - that’s what I call the phenomenon, which will probably be, which will be possible, which will probably be, which will be possible. The main threat to NATO security for many years. "

In 2001-2005, Vershbow was an ambassador of the United States in Moscow. In 2009-2012, before the appointment to the current post, he served as deputy minister of defense of the United States on international security.

On September 25, US President Barack Obama, speaking at the UN General Assembly, called Russia the second most dangerous threat to Russia . At the same time, he put the virus of Ebola’s fever in the first place, and the “Islamic state” was only on the third.

Obama's statement caused a painful reaction of the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov. He accused the United States of imperial politics and violation of international law, and also noted that "Obama’s speech was conceived as a peacekeeper’s speech, but did not correspond to real facts."

Rebooting relations with the United States, added a Russian prime minister, becomes impossible in such a situation.
