See the arrogant language used by this lady. What does she think she is? The Americans are playing with fire, and their arrogance will result in their downfall. Already the Russians and the Chinese are joining hands to oppose the US.
American politicians are not only arrogant; they are naive and ignorant.
BTW, to effectively deal with Russia, you should never tell them what you think about them. Tell them what they want to hear but do your own thing. If they object to your plans or new military installations, divert, deny and change the subject. Or plainly ignore their objections and keep saying that Russia is America's best friend.
What they are doing is just stupid. Instead of giving a bear a pail of rotten apples while stepping back and reloading your .308 rifle, they are poking him with a stick and laugh. Plain stupid.
They don't understand Russians and Russian culture. No wonder most of Russians think Americans are simpletons.
BTW, it amazes me that Americans always announce their military deployments or new military contracts. Military stuff should be fucking classified. Period. All this transparency is only helping America's enemies.
She should be replaced by someone with better diplomatic skills.
