Big event in Turkey with over 100 nations attending. The first part consists of a Q&A session in the interview format as you see above. The second part is the presser that followed. Both are a little more than an hour in length, thus the need to break them into the two sessions they were. This took place on March first well after the intercepted German conversation became public, Lavrov would have known about it from the day it was caught. Here’s Sergey, all emphasis being mine:
I REALLY like this answer by Lavrov: “Sergey Lavrov: Let's go back to the statement by US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin, with which you began your question. I would like to draw your attention to the meaning of this statement: if Ukraine loses, then NATO will have to go against Russia. According to Sigmund Freud, he got what was on their minds. Before that, everyone said that Ukraine should not be allowed to lose, because Vladimir Putin, in their opinion, would not stop there and would "seize" the Baltic states, Poland and Finland. It turns out, according to L. Austin's open, unambiguous expression, everything is quite the opposite.”
Thanks Karl,
" Tu fais un sacré boulot"
(You're doing a great job.)
But in french "sacré" has a double meaning.
- great
- Holy
So, thanks for this great holy job with your Substack ...
I saw a couple of occurrences where the Italian Prime Minister is called Giuseppe Meloni, but the correct name is Giorgia Meloni.
