It seems to me that trump and his oligarchs are gambling with stock market trends. Generally manipulating it, in fact musk did it many times with bitcoin. They can't win but they can make a lot of money trying...
Rubio is continually putting wood on the fire, outrageous statements after meeting Europeans. Kellog is not removed and he also is with the Europeans. It is probably treason against America and his boss trump, at least a foreign agent status, but why do they care? Witkof is phony, real estate dealer. Probably comes for yesterdays borscht anyway. Conflict resolution is nonsense, and so was the cat fight with zelensky in the white house. Another clue? Hegseth has undoubtedly shown the real intentions of America, division of labor speech to NATO, did anyone miss it?
There is no reason to continue and much less discuss the genocide of Palestinians, Yemenis, Somalis and the escalation against Iran. Hegemony and world domination is Americas only interest. Coercing, tricking or killing everyone that is how she does it. It is not a surprise Sergey Viktorovich is tired.
I would very much like to say something good or positive, there is nothing.
Glad to see you commenting again. Lavrov’s had a very busy year so far and clearly needs a short break. As he’s stated too many times, Russia’s position is very overt and ought to be easy to understand even for those with small brains in Washington. IMO, Russia has all the cards and needs to stand on its principles with willpower being the only requirement.
You just keep Trump talking. another little nugget slipped from his gob yesterday which hasn't been picked up on but clearly shows he's reading or listening to the right people.
He said among other stuff, paraphrasing, Russia is capturing more ground and valuable assets contained there.
So like Blackrock, Monsanto, Cargill and others he's watching in real time as their investments in Ukraine erode.
The tasks will be completed unless the commander in chief decides not, and that will never happen. I will not repeat the other regions I mentioned before but I continue with my opinion, there will be referendums and more will return home.
Great! The Kommersant journalist forgot one very major component that makes African decolonization very different from the Ukraine situation—none of the newly decolonized nations were attacked by outsiders wanting to install Nazis, who then attacked those they deemed The Hated. The West doesn’t seem to think the Global Majority sees its Nazification, but it does.
As I understand the history of Ukrainian Nazism, it was formulated differently from the outset with a focus on different peoples as The Hated from what Hitlerism espoused since they were part of the Habsburg Empire and formed their beliefs before, during and after WW1. Berhnard at MoA wrote an excellent article about Azov and its expansion that’s worthy, https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/04/growth-of-ukraines-azov-units-follow-path-of-the-waffen-ss.html
Thank you very much. Interesting. Generally it is true that nazis were not destroyed and today are everywhere in many different formats. English government, some of them and some of her military are. They possibly have been present even from 1941 and before. They do not salute or dress like nazis, not then, not now, although princesses are seen in photographs making these gestures. Azov and others are openly nazi, so unquestionable. The example of the English is subjective and is interpreted by everyone differently. However many openly say they are zionist, are zionist nazis? Well, if they are, we have a lot more problems that will be very difficult to solve before we can all live together peacefully.
The Banderites are retards that will be discarded once they have outlived their usefulness.
The true source of fascism is the global oligarchic class with its centers of power in London, Washington and New York.
Liberal hegemony is the 21st century reincarnation of 20th century fascism. Instead of race superiority, liberals use their sense of cultural and economic superiority, which they want all humans to submit to. Liberals have their Holocaust in Gaza and their Operation Barbarossa in the Nato proxy war against Russia.
In Germany, they used to say, "when the brown shirts (ie. Nazis) come back, they won't be wearing brown shirts." In other words, the far-right nationalist camp has been burned once and for all. What manifested itself as fascism in the 20th century can only come from the left-liberal camp in the 21st century.
The Neocons have discovered human rights and democracy as pretext for their interventionist wars to persuade the do-gooders from the left-liberal camp that their wars are necessary for the greater good.
The Empire's divide-and-rule strategies work in Africa like they work in Ukraine and the rest of the world.
Make one people hate another so that the Empire can rule over them all. In Ukraine they use the Banderites, in the ME the Islamists, in Germany the mustache man, in Africa and Asia this or that tribe prepared to kill its neighbors.
"I would very much like to say something good or positive, there is nothing."
Change perspective. There are a number of real positives ... don't look outside - look inside.
# Russian Federation has adjusted very quickly and competently to NATO's aggression - both militarily and economically - over past two decades or so ...
# It has formed strong alliances/agreements with others, including the PRC economic powerhouse, India, Iran and much of the global South
# National unity and pride have been restored after the turmoil of the 90s
# As in martial arts the strength of the ~30,000 sanctions has been turned on its initiator and used to strengthen RF
# It has regained RESPECT.
That will do for now. Lavrov is very comprehensive and realist here - with some delightfully precise and scathing little rapier thrusts at some of the usual suspects .... Ouch!
Let's see where we are when we cross that big river .... Nazis, as history teaches us, have to be fought and comprehensively defeated - there is no other way. Such is the way of the world ...
In one light, it may be unfortunate that Russia chose the path of engaging so directly with the US which refuses or maybe is even incapable of entertaining acceptance of Russia's reasonable requirements for ending the Ukraine War. How can Russia step up and take a more forcible direction which now would position it as a belligerent such that Trump would feel compelled to step up hostilities. I have believed Russia's refusal to condemn Israel's genocide and then to resist the dismemberment of Syria, were serious mistakes, not just because these are moral failures, but also may be strategic mistakes. Many nations would have aligned with Russia had it actively opposed the US/IS/EU rather than taking the direction of working within the still existing framework of present Western dominance. With Trump in the WH, one can speculate that a stronger push by Russia might even have compelled him to take a harder line against the US neocons, Europe, and Zelensky. No way to predict, but the Putin govt's position may not be sustainable on the global stage. How long can they engage with the ignorance of the US administration? Even if Trump were sincere about ending the Ukraine war, he may fail as he failed in a number of geopolitical endeavors during his first term.
I’ve written a lot about the problems Russia has with Palestine thanks to its constitution and its requirement that Russia be responsible for the wellbeing of all Russians, including the diaspora and those with dual citizenship. The problem is very deep and originated in Soviet times. And I’ve written about Syria and harshly criticized Russian policy from 2019 onward. But then I learned of Assad having dug his own hole. Remember, Russia doesn’t strongarm other nations like the West to get them to obey. China is the same way. It’s hard to be Boy Scouts when the Devil uses tools Scouts cannot.
What to say about Israel? I remember the children holding our flag appealing to President Putin. Israel murdered them anyway and nobody did anything, they still don't. Only Yemenis try.
I cannot ever imagine my family in 1941 saying they have friends in Germany, no family ever would, logically, and yet they all have friends in Israel today and have not any shame repeating it again and again. Bizarre, bizarre because they say it and bizarre because nobody condemns it. Therefore it is not any surprise that Abramovich donates to illegal settlers of West Bank and head Russian jewish rabbi Berl Lazar is not Russian, right?
So for a long time I can only reconcile my conscience by looking at our world, yours and mine, like a farm. Countries are fields. The fields have workers. The workers have a manager. They manage the fields and workers but they don't own the farm. Someone else does.
That’s one way to describe things. What I’ve learned in life is anyone can become a Nazi—it all depends on parents, pers and society: You have to be carefully taught how to hate and fear… You can also be taught how to love and be moral—to be an upstanding individual. You can also be taught how to reason without relying on a God for guidance.
Yes, Lavrov wants to uphold the UN Charter but what about the Genocide Convention? Isn’t that as equally important? Lavrov—”You must take all the Charter into consideration, not just the parts that fit your agenda.
Until recently I did not know it but I like it very much, “elephant in the room”. It is used to describe a situation where a problem becomes so noticeable and urgent that it is difficult not to notice it, but those around either really do not see it, or for some reason prefer to ignore it. I am sharing what you already know so you will understand this. I censored again myself, there is a lot to say, but the elephant.
Alexander Trufanov, did you see it? Why do ours returned from Ukraine that is not in siege conditions look starved and white like milk but he who was for 498 days in siege conditions because this elephant does not?
Answers or even opinions are not necessary, in fact how can anyone know? Anyway I have a lot more questions and who can or will answer them?
I just read the TASS and Ria Novosti items on his meeting Putin and that Putin refused to comment on the politics summing it all up as a "tragedy." He was released on 15 February and has had 2 months to recuperate, so making a direct comparison isn't possible for me unless I see a picture of him when he was released. However, in general IMO your description is correct. Russians kept prisoners by the Nazis look as you'd expect--like those from the Camps.
There's another metaphor about the elephant in the room--no one can see it completely, so only parts of it are described. That characterization fits the Kiev government as most of the elephant hides behind Zelensky.
Diligence is absolutely necessary and I appreciate your careful approach. We cannot meet him so our opinions will be subjective, so essentially useless.
The person to his right is possibly the reason for referring to everything as a tragedy. It is important to understand what it is but and this is objective fact, it is the same as those involved with trump, including his recent appointment, Yehuda Kaploun. I will not continue because the biggest part of that elephant you said cannot be seen but only in parts are them and well it is more than there is time for now. Anyway Lenin and Stalin, they spoke, I would say warned us about it many times.
This is a very heartening interview, showing the deep wisdom not only of S V Lavrov, but also of the Stavka behind him. What i found most encouraging is the opinion, shared by Lavrov and Putin, that sanctions should not be lifted; that they have proven beneficial to Russia, and will strengthen it in the long run, while at the same time forming a barrier to reinvasion of the Russian economy by greedy Western interests. I share this opinion. The sanctions were, paradoxically, a sort of a healing potion to Russia, while painfully crippling and antagonizing the Hegemon's own vassals. Let them continue.
This realization also makes mockery of Trump's sophomoric threats to "double down" with additional sanctions until Russia "is sorry". You can see from this interview how sorry Russia is. :-))
The sanctions showed the oligarchs that the West offered no refuge—they are Russian and there’s no changing that fact. Putin said the obvious—they’ll steal your assets; it’s best to keep them here and watch them grow.
It's difficult, if not impossible, to disagree with everything Lavrov says. Like it or not, Russia's position is clear, as expressed by its government. One tennis court, one player, one ball. On the other side, a court invaded by many players, many balls, and a chair umpire who constantly changes the rules at will. No wonder Lavrov is tired. Traveling with someone who wants to change direction at every turn is exasperating. Or trying to reason with a demanding and capricious spoiled brat. Or with a paranoid who has panicked, lost his mind, and sees threats everywhere. One of the virtues that stands out in Lavrov's dealings with Western interlocutors (diplomats?) is undoubtedly: PATIENCE.
Unfortunately, patience is finite. I’m sure Lavrov would like to have a few years to enjoy his life while he’s still able, although I do expect him to continue until Ukraine is solved.
I see one possible way out of this: the sudden miraculous rise of a Statesman in Europe who will insist the future security of Europe lies with Russia included in NATO. ( Or some successor of nato).
Spell out the infant level truth: peace with your enemy means making him your friend.
A concept it seems virtually no one can grasp. In the whole wide world.
Except. perhaps those possessors of the 'common sense' so often spoken of here: i.e. the people, the ordinary people
It is noticeable that never, ever in any of the discussions about possible ways out of this mess, courses of action, directions, initiatives etc. do the people ever figure. Ever.
No one I ever saw ever proposed going to the people for a solution.
So that, to me, is another possible way out.
The Superman Statesman the 'Top Down' way and from the people the 'Bottom Up' way.
Both unlikely but the Top Down the most unlikely, I think.
I would pin my hopes on a grassroots 'rebellion' (so to speak) that spreads through cyberspace overnight.
Not that I'd expect it to be clean and crystal clear and immediately perfectly effective. Nothing remotely like that, I'd expect. But a 'sea change' in universal public opinion that reigns in the utter madness of these 'leaders' that never consult their people, that lie non stop, that waste money and effort, run down their nations, are pawns of money itself.
Like a big step towards that would be the global proletarian consciousness to be aware of the civil war dimension of Ukraine.
For then we common proles could readily think and demand that 'that's their business', 'stay out of it. come home and tend to our business here'.
The warmongers apparently agree with me there. For they never miss a chance to insist that they are defending global democracy and so on... such totally hyperbolic and utterly false propaganda designed clearly to obscure, negate, omit the whole civil war truth.
Similarly you never heard over the full three years a whisper of concern from any 'Ukraine lovers' for any single one of the 10 million Ukrainians under attack in the Donbass.
Because, again, it would mean revealing the civil war truth.
It is a kind of semantics thing, isn't it? Words are distorted and misused.
Very clear.
So the more awful that is the more it is a peg upon which a global sudden awakening could spread through the proletarian world. It suddenly becoming fashionable to call a spade a spade.
And every prole at liberty to consult the web and google and AI and find out what the words really mean.
It could become the fashion overnight.
The time is ripe.
Up to now the proles have done little but watch video, play games and tweet vapid nonsense.
Which all sounds somewhat stupid, dare I say.
But the proles are not stupid. Far from it. It is the proles who know everything and build and maintain everything. The proles are everything. Despite what the 'elite' think. And right there: what an egregious misuse of 'elite'.
If it suddenly became the fashion to find truth and call spades 'spades' the world would suddenly make a quantum leap forward.
And stopping this Ukrainian lunacy would be simple.
So unreal and fantastical as it may sound I pin my hope on something from that direction: the people.
In the end that's where it has to be. Else the end is a marginalised, enslaved, dumb mass and I don't really think that's going to happen. It already has happened. That's where we are now. What we want and expect is for that to change.
"Israel, even during the most brutal times of the occupation of the Palestinian territories, never banned the Arabic language, and this is still the case. But they have it, they can do it."
Again with this sh*t?! Seriously, Lavrov... please stop it!
Instead, he could have highlighted the double-standard of the Western countries blaming Russians for the strike in Sumy last Sunday, but saying nothing about the bombing of the last hospital in Northern Gaza on the same day!
Putin's Achilles Heal that bastard offspring of America. If not, Russia would have cemented brotherly love at least 3 decades ago with Iran. Maybe it's the sense of obligation to the Russian Jews, who I hear are some of the most vociferous anti-Muslim degenerates in that hellhole.
I believe he was the last one I've heard it from but also on two other occasions over the last decade when Russia's lack of cover for incoming missiles into Syria from Lebanese airspace went unanswered.
Yes this is all so tiring and a huge burden on humanity. Few analysts recognize the true source of all the death and suffering which is the extreme greed of the entrenched arch-oligarchs at the top of the financial pyramid, not the "leaders" of the collective west who are mere minions carrying out the sociopaths' decrees and expect to be rewarded in proportion to their success. Any leader that fails to tow the line is to be disciplined or assassinated.
Trump appears to have a dual track in his "peace" negotiation agenda – *reconciliation* and *recalcitrance*, the former (Witkoff) to move incrementally toward a settlement favorable to the US, and the latter (Kellog) to satisfy the intransigent demands of the supreme rulers to fight using all public resources to preserve their profit-taking to the max. The EU politicians are using cold war propaganda to pursue their own agenda of doubling down on hostility and violence (even if it is self destructive), because the prospect of rewards from a new military buildup (even if it results in a hot war) are presented to them.
Russia continues to pursue its military and geopolitical-geoeconomic objectives prioritizing its defense and infrastructure buildup along with its cooperative ventures with other states. The latter endeavor is where Minister Lavrov can relish his role of realizing his grand vision of justice and can take pleasure in establishing enduring relationships with the ROW based on his inspiration. I hope he will delegate more of the wrangling to his subordinates and perhaps to Medvedev who loves to get "down and dirty" with the scoundrels.
Trump, for all his arrogant posturing, is completely subservient to the Talmudist-Mammonist Cabal, the vampires whom you mildly describe as "arch-oligarchs". He is an enterprising and innovative minion, but has not a scrap of rebellion in him.
The only reason that a reset of US-Russian relations is even on his agenda is because the vampire masters have more pressing business elsewhere, and their Golem (the US) has been overdrained by their greed, is tottering on its clay legs, and clearly has no strength to handle more than one crisis at a time. So it is being awkwardly pivoted towards the Middle East, where the crucial Eretz Israel project is in danger of collapsing because of the bumbling ineptness of the IOF.
The project to break and subjugate Russia is meanwhile being put on the back burner. But the intention is to return to it later; for that reason Trump avoids making any real, bonafide concessions. His objective is to freeze the conflict at a stage awkward for the Russians, so that he can return to it later at his convenience. Once you realize that this is the goal, all the proposed half-measures about ceasefires and moratoriums on advances and attacks, while avoiding addressing the roots of the conflict, start to make perfect sense.
This content which I've printed out, 14 double-sided pages, has enough material for any would be author to pen a book every year for the rest of their lives.
Reliving the ups & downs of this decade long ongoing intertwining unrelenting vicious and vindictive political, military, financial and social assault on Russia and its Allies by the US and its Euro-concubines is harrowing.
I reckon that Sergey has been instructed to up the Ante. This goes for Putin too, with the military, Security Council, DUMA, his Advisors (Medvedev No.1) and last but not least with the Russian General Public's patience, all wearing thin.
It could be time to walk into the next round of talks, slap your balls on the table and say, listen Little Marco and the rest of you American pussies, you lost the war (nae smo), shot your load and scarpered. We're allowing you to save face as an intermediary so don't take the piss. Here's a list of our immediate demands so go call your boss and sign off on each item listed.
The Stavka seem to have lost whatever illusions they may have entertained about Trump. They've come to realize he is only trying to play a crude "good-cop-bad-cop" game with them, but he is still a stooge of the Cabal, and his goals are its goals, namely the destruction and enslavement of Russia, and the rape of its resources. He just goes about it a trifle more subtly than the previous stable of minions, but that is only because Plan A fell flat on its face so spectacularly.
I take encouragement from Lavrov's obvious awareness of that.
Yes, Trump is different—ugly like Biden and the entire Neoliberalcon choir, but his ugliness differs. The inner darkness that drives him is hard to discern. I do think he has a mental disability on top of the ADD learning disorder. We’ve seen him act—govern—for three months on top of his campaign bombast, plus his first term. Some say they already have him pegged; I need more time. Like Sinatra, he wants things done his way and becomes ugly when he doesn’t, as with the negotiations with Russia. Russia’s bottom-line grounds were announced last June, yet Trump refuses to listen or read what they are—they are very plain and simple. Yet, Trump is obsessed with making Russia accept a ceasefire they said they won’t accept last June. IMO, it’s a mania of some sort.
It's not a personal obsession, just the same old doubling down, not much different from the previous administration. Trump just puts a lot more smoke and mirrors on it, but the policy stays the same, it's not really Trump's policy but his masters'. He is not a free agent, he just makes it seem so with his bombastic personality.
The only thing that changed is that they finally realized they are losing, so plan B is negotiating a breather to rebuild their spent resources in order to, you guessed it, double down again. That is why Trump blathers on about ceasefire, negotiations, and "stopping the slaughter", but makes no actual concessions.
Some have said here that they were impressed by Lavrov's discussion about how he and Putin want the sanctions to continue because they stop the US neoliberals from helping themselves to Russia's assets, as was I. However, just a week of so ago, someone in the Russian gov't (was it Putin?) had said that US investment in the Russian economy was invited, which I think was the quest of Russian businessman Dimitriev whom Putin sent to US to investigate business deals between the US and Russia. Which endeavor by the Putin govt would contribute to the push for normalization between the two countries. On the other hand as Lavrov brought to focus, give the US an inch and they'll take a mile (my words).
Many of Trump's backers are greedy, and it skews their policy. A case in point is the torpedoing of the China tariffs by Musk and the Silicon Valley tycoons, for no other reason than protecting their short-term profits.
So, Dmitriev's mission is to tempt these Mammonists with the prospect of getting a profit out of cooperating with Russia. Hopefully they will urge Trump to pursue these illusory prospects, giving Russia some breathing space. But Dmitriev is not a decisionmaker; he is just following precise instructions. And his hints of economic opportunity are no more for real than Trump's concern for peace.
I see Dmitriev as more of a money manager, a good one. The real key is the Empire lacks power—economic and military—and the gap in both is being continually widened with both Russia and China. The problem is the exceptionalists have yet to admit those facts and deal with reality.
I like the way Lavrov called out Guterrez' lack of neutrality and what happened to the grain deal with Russia. Outrageous that the Secretary General of the UN should be biased as he is. There are many apparent corrections to the global political situation that could be easily made.
Guterrez is nothing but a contemptible puppet, to a far greater extent than Trump, who at least has popular backing. Guterrez has no other support than the Cabal who put him in his seat as a useful tool, because they were satisfied with his spineless obedience. He will do as he is told.
Thank you for publishing this, Karlofi. Interesting to see Lavrov being ... less diplomatic ... than usual. His condemnation of the "Joe Biden" regime was quite explicit, and totally deserved.
That question was spot on about the conflict between the territorial integrity of current nations versus the right of people (any people!) to self-determination. Lavrov' answer was as self-serving there as was the approach of NATO to Yugoslavia. A little disappointing.
Someday, we will have to realize the flaw with "International Law". None of us ever voted for any of those laws. None of us even voted for the people who set up those laws. We are stuck with a mass of largely unseen bureaucratic gobbledegook which ALL individual governments claim to be sacred when it is useful to them and ignore or sidestep when it conflicts with their interests. No government is free from hypocrisy!
The concept of ius gentium is an old Roman concept, and is in fact even older than that. It is not a statutory or voted law, and should not be, but is supposed to be an expression of universal values, sort of like common law. But even the Romans already tried to twist ius gentium to their advantage, and today it has degenerated into a set of arbitrary rules that only pay lip service to moral values.
This article or interview contains so much information, details, and nuances that I find it difficult to give a short comment. But I will keep it very brief nonetheless.
F. Merz and most other European "leaders" will not be in Moscow on May 9 but in Kyiv, standing alongside a regime in the tradition of Bandera and Adolf Hitler. F. Merz (BlackRock) spoke of increased support for the Nazi regime in its fight against Russia. (Germany is ruled by BlackRock.) To help this Nazi regime defeat Russia. There are indeed "elites" in Germany who believe and wish that the world's most powerful nuclear state can be defeated. God help us. The USA is an oligarchy and plutocracy. Its European colonies are the same. ... That is why neither the USA nor its colonies will stop their fight against BRICS. Everything else is tactical maneuvering, deception, and foolish talk. The war may last a very long time, or the "West," especially the USA, may implode socioeconomically at any moment.
Conclusion: The battle lines are clear and distinct. There will be either victory or defeat. Ukraine is "only" a battlefield in this war, which is taking place globally. In other words, we are talking about World War III. The diplomatic niceties can be left to the diplomats—that’s their job. But we, the citizens, must call it what it is.
—————
In diesem Artikel bzw. Interview sind so viele Informationen, Details und Nuancen enthalten, dass es mir schwer fällt, einen kurzen Kommentar abzugeben. Aber ich werde es trotzdem sehr kurz halten.
F. Merz und die meisten anderen europäischen "Führer" werden am 9. Mai nicht in Moskau sein, sondern in Kiew, an der Seite eines Regimes, in der Tradition von Bandera und Adolf Hitler. F. Merz (Black Rock) hat von einer verstärkten Unterstützung des Naziregimes, im Kampf gegen Russland gesprochen. (Deutschland wird von Black Rock regiert.) Um diesem Naziregime zu helfen Russland zu besiegen. Es gibt tatsächlich "Eliten" in Deutschland, die glauben und wünschen, dass die mächtigste Atommacht der Welt besiegt werden kann. Gott hilf uns. Die USA sind eine Oligarchie und Plutokratie. Ihre europäischen Kolonien ebenfalls. .... Deshalb werden weder die USA, noch ihre Kolonien mit ihrem Kampf gegen die BRICS aufhören. Alles andere ist Taktiererei, Täuschung und dummes Gerede. Der Krieg mag sehr lange dauern oder der "Westen", insbesondere die USA implodieren sozioökonomisch plötzlich.
Fazit: Die Fronten sind klar und deutlich. Es wird Sieg oder Niederlage geben. Die Ukraine ist "nur" ein Schlachtfeld in diesem Krieg, der global stattfindet. Sprich, wir reden vom 3. Weltkrieg. Das darum herum reden überlassen wir den Diplomaten. Das ist deren Job. Aber wir Bürger müssen es klar benennen.
I could really sense his fatigue and frustration, just reading his words. So much of what he said has already been said so many times before, it's just that too many people are obtuse and determined not to hear. And what also becomes clear, if it wasn't already before, is that this is something Russians have had to deal with for a very, very long time, being treated as less-than and not worthy of respect and civility and to be heard. On the up side, they're no longer trying to "measure up" to some standard they'd never be allowed to achieve anyway because they've realized that they're the superior in a civilizational contest with the West.
He is disappointed that the hopes that some had laid on Trump have proven so thoroughly illusory. That there will be no return to normal relations, because the West remains and will remain agreement incapable. No wonder he looks sad, all his diplomatic expertise is useless in confrontation with the utterly dishonorable.
"utterly dishonorable" - that's it exactly. But I wouldn't say it was useless; it's not achieving the diplomatic ends Russia hoped for but the world is watching and they see what we're seeing, what we all *need* to see.
It seems to me that trump and his oligarchs are gambling with stock market trends. Generally manipulating it, in fact musk did it many times with bitcoin. They can't win but they can make a lot of money trying...
Rubio is continually putting wood on the fire, outrageous statements after meeting Europeans. Kellog is not removed and he also is with the Europeans. It is probably treason against America and his boss trump, at least a foreign agent status, but why do they care? Witkof is phony, real estate dealer. Probably comes for yesterdays borscht anyway. Conflict resolution is nonsense, and so was the cat fight with zelensky in the white house. Another clue? Hegseth has undoubtedly shown the real intentions of America, division of labor speech to NATO, did anyone miss it?
There is no reason to continue and much less discuss the genocide of Palestinians, Yemenis, Somalis and the escalation against Iran. Hegemony and world domination is Americas only interest. Coercing, tricking or killing everyone that is how she does it. It is not a surprise Sergey Viktorovich is tired.
I would very much like to say something good or positive, there is nothing.
Glad to see you commenting again. Lavrov’s had a very busy year so far and clearly needs a short break.

IMO, Russia has all the cards and needs to stand on its principles with willpower being the only requirement.
You just keep Trump talking. another little nugget slipped from his gob yesterday which hasn't been picked up on but clearly shows he's reading or listening to the right people.
He said among other stuff, paraphrasing, Russia is capturing more ground and valuable assets contained there.
So like Blackrock, Monsanto, Cargill and others he's watching in real time as their investments in Ukraine erode.
I changed the device, app is working again :)

The West doesn’t seem to think the Global Majority sees its Nazification, but it does.
I agree. It would be interesting to know how they see these nazis. It is different to the ones 80 years before.
As I understand the history of Ukrainian Nazism, it was formulated differently from the outset with a focus on different peoples as The Hated from what Hitlerism espoused since they were part of the Habsburg Empire and formed their beliefs before, during and after WW1. Berhnard at MoA wrote an excellent article about Azov and its expansion that’s worthy, https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/04/growth-of-ukraines-azov-units-follow-path-of-the-waffen-ss.html
Thank you very much. Interesting. Generally it is true that nazis were not destroyed and today are everywhere in many different formats. English government, some of them and some of her military are.

Well, if they are, we have a lot more problems that will be very difficult to solve before we can all live together peacefully.

The true source of fascism is the global oligarchic class with its centers of power in London, Washington and New York.
Liberal hegemony is the 21st century reincarnation of 20th century fascism. Instead of race superiority, liberals use their sense of cultural and economic superiority, which they want all humans to submit to. Liberals have their Holocaust in Gaza and their Operation Barbarossa in the Nato proxy war against Russia.
In Germany, they used to say, "when the brown shirts (ie. Nazis) come back, they won't be wearing brown shirts." In other words, the far-right nationalist camp has been burned once and for all. What manifested itself as fascism in the 20th century can only come from the left-liberal camp in the 21st century.
The Neocons have discovered human rights and democracy as pretext for their interventionist wars to persuade the do-gooders from the left-liberal camp that their wars are necessary for the greater good.
It is possible Mr Sanchez will present new work, therefore I will not comment. Surprises are to be enjoyed, not spoiled :)
By the way I agree, and thank you very much for responding.
The Empire's divide-and-rule strategies work in Africa like they work in Ukraine and the rest of the world.
Make one people hate another so that the Empire can rule over them all. In Ukraine they use the Banderites, in the ME the Islamists, in Germany the mustache man, in Africa and Asia this or that tribe prepared to kill its neighbors.
The global history of inter-tribal relations shows that eventually the killing will stop once resources become roughly equal.
As long as the Empire exists, the proxy wars and the divide-and-rule strategies will continue.
Once the hegemonic thinking of the maritime powers is replaced by the balance of power of the continental powers, the blood shed may stop.
"I would very much like to say something good or positive, there is nothing."
Change perspective. There are a number of real positives ... don't look outside - look inside.
# Russian Federation has adjusted very quickly and competently to NATO's aggression - both militarily and economically - over past two decades or so ...
# It has formed strong alliances/agreements with others, including the PRC economic powerhouse, India, Iran and much of the global South
# National unity and pride have been restored after the turmoil of the 90s
# As in martial arts the strength of the ~30,000 sanctions has been turned on its initiator and used to strengthen RF
# It has regained RESPECT.
That will do for now. Lavrov is very comprehensive and realist here - with some delightfully precise and scathing little rapier thrusts at some of the usual suspects .... Ouch!
Let's see where we are when we cross that big river .... Nazis, as history teaches us, have to be fought and comprehensively defeated - there is no other way. Such is the way of the world ...
I agree, everything is correct.
I totally agree with your comment Natalya.
In one light, it may be unfortunate that Russia chose the path of engaging so directly with the US which refuses or maybe is even incapable of entertaining acceptance of Russia's reasonable requirements for ending the Ukraine War. How can Russia step up and take a more forcible direction which now would position it as a belligerent such that Trump would feel compelled to step up hostilities. I have believed Russia's refusal to condemn Israel's genocide and then to resist the dismemberment of Syria, were serious mistakes, not just because these are moral failures, but also may be strategic mistakes. Many nations would have aligned with Russia had it actively opposed the US/IS/EU rather than taking the direction of working within the still existing framework of present Western dominance. With Trump in the WH, one can speculate that a stronger push by Russia might even have compelled him to take a harder line against the US neocons, Europe, and Zelensky. No way to predict, but the Putin govt's position may not be sustainable on the global stage. How long can they engage with the ignorance of the US administration? Even if Trump were sincere about ending the Ukraine war, he may fail as he failed in a number of geopolitical endeavors during his first term.
I’ve written a lot about the problems Russia has with Palestine thanks to its constitution and its requirement that Russia be responsible for the wellbeing of all Russians, including the diaspora and those with dual citizenship. The problem is very deep and originated in Soviet times. And I’ve written about Syria and harshly criticized Russian policy from 2019 onward. But then I learned of Assad having dug his own hole. Remember, Russia doesn’t strongarm other nations like the West to get them to obey. China is the same way. It’s hard to be Boy Scouts when the Devil uses tools Scouts cannot.
Thank you for your thoughtful response.
I agree with you.
What to say about Israel? I remember the children holding our flag appealing to President Putin. Israel murdered them anyway and nobody did anything, they still don't. Only Yemenis try.
I cannot ever imagine my family in 1941 saying they have friends in Germany, no family ever would, logically, and yet they all have friends in Israel today and have not any shame repeating it again and again. Bizarre, bizarre because they say it and bizarre because nobody condemns it. Therefore it is not any surprise that Abramovich donates to illegal settlers of West Bank and head Russian jewish rabbi Berl Lazar is not Russian, right?
So for a long time I can only reconcile my conscience by looking at our world, yours and mine, like a farm. Countries are fields. The fields have workers. The workers have a manager. They manage the fields and workers but they don't own the farm. Someone else does.
That’s one way to describe things. What I’ve learned in life is anyone can become a Nazi—it all depends on parents, pers and society: You have to be carefully taught how to hate and fear… You can also be taught how to love and be moral—to be an upstanding individual. You can also be taught how to reason without relying on a God for guidance.
Yes, Lavrov wants to uphold the UN Charter but what about the Genocide Convention? Isn’t that as equally important? Lavrov—”You must take all the Charter into consideration, not just the parts that fit your agenda.
Until recently I did not know it but I like it very much, “elephant in the room”. It is used to describe a situation where a problem becomes so noticeable and urgent that it is difficult not to notice it, but those around either really do not see it, or for some reason prefer to ignore it. I am sharing what you already know so you will understand this. I censored again myself, there is a lot to say, but the elephant.
Alexander Trufanov, did you see it? Why do ours returned from Ukraine that is not in siege conditions look starved and white like milk but he who was for 498 days in siege conditions because this elephant does not?
Answers or even opinions are not necessary, in fact how can anyone know? Anyway I have a lot more questions and who can or will answer them?
Elephant, I like it.
I just read the TASS and Ria Novosti items on his meeting Putin and that Putin refused to comment on the politics summing it all up as a "tragedy." He was released on 15 February and has had 2 months to recuperate, so making a direct comparison isn't possible for me unless I see a picture of him when he was released. However, in general IMO your description is correct. Russians kept prisoners by the Nazis look as you'd expect--like those from the Camps.
There's another metaphor about the elephant in the room--no one can see it completely, so only parts of it are described. That characterization fits the Kiev government as most of the elephant hides behind Zelensky.

Diligence is absolutely necessary and I appreciate your careful approach. We cannot meet him so our opinions will be subjective, so essentially useless.
The person to his right is possibly the reason for referring to everything as a tragedy. It is important to understand what it is but and this is objective fact, it is the same as those involved with trump, including his recent appointment, Yehuda Kaploun. I will not continue because the biggest part of that elephant you said cannot be seen but only in parts are them and well it is more than there is time for now. Anyway Lenin and Stalin, they spoke, I would say warned us about it many times.
This is a very heartening interview, showing the deep wisdom not only of S V Lavrov, but also of the Stavka behind him. What i found most encouraging is the opinion, shared by Lavrov and Putin, that sanctions should not be lifted; that they have proven beneficial to Russia, and will strengthen it in the long run, while at the same time forming a barrier to reinvasion of the Russian economy by greedy Western interests. I share this opinion. The sanctions were, paradoxically, a sort of a healing potion to Russia, while painfully crippling and antagonizing the Hegemon's own vassals. Let them continue.
This realization also makes mockery of Trump's sophomoric threats to "double down" with additional sanctions until Russia "is sorry". You can see from this interview how sorry Russia is. :-))
The sanctions showed the oligarchs that the West offered no refuge—they are Russian and there’s no changing that fact. Putin said the obvious—they’ll steal your assets; it’s best to keep them here and watch them grow.
"coalition of those who wish" - Lavrov has (unintentionally?) hit the nail square on the head.
I was wondering if it was an intended pun or a mistake in the machine translation...
It's difficult, if not impossible, to disagree with everything Lavrov says. Like it or not, Russia's position is clear, as expressed by its government. One tennis court, one player, one ball. On the other side, a court invaded by many players, many balls, and a chair umpire who constantly changes the rules at will. No wonder Lavrov is tired. Traveling with someone who wants to change direction at every turn is exasperating. Or trying to reason with a demanding and capricious spoiled brat. Or with a paranoid who has panicked, lost his mind, and sees threats everywhere. One of the virtues that stands out in Lavrov's dealings with Western interlocutors (diplomats?) is undoubtedly: PATIENCE.
Unfortunately, patience is finite. I’m sure Lavrov would like to have a few years to enjoy his life while he’s still able, although I do expect him to continue until Ukraine is solved.
I see one possible way out of this: the sudden miraculous rise of a Statesman in Europe who will insist the future security of Europe lies with Russia included in NATO. ( Or some successor of nato).
Spell out the infant level truth: peace with your enemy means making him your friend.
A concept it seems virtually no one can grasp. In the whole wide world.
Except. perhaps those possessors of the 'common sense' so often spoken of here: i.e. the people, the ordinary people
It is noticeable that never, ever in any of the discussions about possible ways out of this mess, courses of action, directions, initiatives etc. do the people ever figure. Ever.
No one I ever saw ever proposed going to the people for a solution.
So that, to me, is another possible way out.
The Superman Statesman the 'Top Down' way and from the people the 'Bottom Up' way.
Both unlikely but the Top Down the most unlikely, I think.
I would pin my hopes on a grassroots 'rebellion' (so to speak) that spreads through cyberspace overnight.
Not that I'd expect it to be clean and crystal clear and immediately perfectly effective. Nothing remotely like that, I'd expect. But a 'sea change' in universal public opinion that reigns in the utter madness of these 'leaders' that never consult their people, that lie non stop, that waste money and effort, run down their nations, are pawns of money itself.
Like a big step towards that would be the global proletarian consciousness to be aware of the civil war dimension of Ukraine.
For then we common proles could readily think and demand that 'that's their business', 'stay out of it. come home and tend to our business here'.
The warmongers apparently agree with me there. For they never miss a chance to insist that they are defending global democracy and so on... such totally hyperbolic and utterly false propaganda designed clearly to obscure, negate, omit the whole civil war truth.
Similarly you never heard over the full three years a whisper of concern from any 'Ukraine lovers' for any single one of the 10 million Ukrainians under attack in the Donbass.
Because, again, it would mean revealing the civil war truth.
It is a kind of semantics thing, isn't it? Words are distorted and misused.
Very clear.
So the more awful that is the more it is a peg upon which a global sudden awakening could spread through the proletarian world. It suddenly becoming fashionable to call a spade a spade.
And every prole at liberty to consult the web and google and AI and find out what the words really mean.
It could become the fashion overnight.
The time is ripe.
Up to now the proles have done little but watch video, play games and tweet vapid nonsense.
Which all sounds somewhat stupid, dare I say.
But the proles are not stupid. Far from it. It is the proles who know everything and build and maintain everything. The proles are everything. Despite what the 'elite' think. And right there: what an egregious misuse of 'elite'.
If it suddenly became the fashion to find truth and call spades 'spades' the world would suddenly make a quantum leap forward.
And stopping this Ukrainian lunacy would be simple.
So unreal and fantastical as it may sound I pin my hope on something from that direction: the people.
In the end that's where it has to be. Else the end is a marginalised, enslaved, dumb mass and I don't really think that's going to happen. It already has happened. That's where we are now. What we want and expect is for that to change.
"Israel, even during the most brutal times of the occupation of the Palestinian territories, never banned the Arabic language, and this is still the case. But they have it, they can do it."
Again with this sh*t?! Seriously, Lavrov... please stop it!
Instead, he could have highlighted the double-standard of the Western countries blaming Russians for the strike in Sumy last Sunday, but saying nothing about the bombing of the last hospital in Northern Gaza on the same day!
Putin's Achilles Heal that bastard offspring of America. If not, Russia would have cemented brotherly love at least 3 decades ago with Iran. Maybe it's the sense of obligation to the Russian Jews, who I hear are some of the most vociferous anti-Muslim degenerates in that hellhole.
Yes, that's what I have read as well somewhere else, don't remember where exactly now (John Helmer, maybe?).
I believe he was the last one I've heard it from but also on two other occasions over the last decade when Russia's lack of cover for incoming missiles into Syria from Lebanese airspace went unanswered.
Sorry Heel that should be.
Yes this is all so tiring and a huge burden on humanity. Few analysts recognize the true source of all the death and suffering which is the extreme greed of the entrenched arch-oligarchs at the top of the financial pyramid, not the "leaders" of the collective west who are mere minions carrying out the sociopaths' decrees and expect to be rewarded in proportion to their success. Any leader that fails to tow the line is to be disciplined or assassinated.
Trump appears to have a dual track in his "peace" negotiation agenda – *reconciliation* and *recalcitrance*, the former (Witkoff) to move incrementally toward a settlement favorable to the US, and the latter (Kellog) to satisfy the intransigent demands of the supreme rulers to fight using all public resources to preserve their profit-taking to the max. The EU politicians are using cold war propaganda to pursue their own agenda of doubling down on hostility and violence (even if it is self destructive), because the prospect of rewards from a new military buildup (even if it results in a hot war) are presented to them.
Russia continues to pursue its military and geopolitical-geoeconomic objectives prioritizing its defense and infrastructure buildup along with its cooperative ventures with other states. The latter endeavor is where Minister Lavrov can relish his role of realizing his grand vision of justice and can take pleasure in establishing enduring relationships with the ROW based on his inspiration. I hope he will delegate more of the wrangling to his subordinates and perhaps to Medvedev who loves to get "down and dirty" with the scoundrels.
Trump, for all his arrogant posturing, is completely subservient to the Talmudist-Mammonist Cabal, the vampires whom you mildly describe as "arch-oligarchs". He is an enterprising and innovative minion, but has not a scrap of rebellion in him.
The only reason that a reset of US-Russian relations is even on his agenda is because the vampire masters have more pressing business elsewhere, and their Golem (the US) has been overdrained by their greed, is tottering on its clay legs, and clearly has no strength to handle more than one crisis at a time. So it is being awkwardly pivoted towards the Middle East, where the crucial Eretz Israel project is in danger of collapsing because of the bumbling ineptness of the IOF.
The project to break and subjugate Russia is meanwhile being put on the back burner. But the intention is to return to it later; for that reason Trump avoids making any real, bonafide concessions. His objective is to freeze the conflict at a stage awkward for the Russians, so that he can return to it later at his convenience. Once you realize that this is the goal, all the proposed half-measures about ceasefires and moratoriums on advances and attacks, while avoiding addressing the roots of the conflict, start to make perfect sense.
That’s why Russia insists on an end to the conflict, no half measures.
Phew!
This content which I've printed out, 14 double-sided pages, has enough material for any would be author to pen a book every year for the rest of their lives.
Reliving the ups & downs of this decade long ongoing intertwining unrelenting vicious and vindictive political, military, financial and social assault on Russia and its Allies by the US and its Euro-concubines is harrowing.
I reckon that Sergey has been instructed to up the Ante. This goes for Putin too, with the military, Security Council, DUMA, his Advisors (Medvedev No.1) and last but not least with the Russian General Public's patience, all wearing thin.
It could be time to walk into the next round of talks, slap your balls on the table and say, listen Little Marco and the rest of you American pussies, you lost the war (nae smo), shot your load and scarpered. We're allowing you to save face as an intermediary so don't take the piss. Here's a list of our immediate demands so go call your boss and sign off on each item listed.
The Stavka seem to have lost whatever illusions they may have entertained about Trump. They've come to realize he is only trying to play a crude "good-cop-bad-cop" game with them, but he is still a stooge of the Cabal, and his goals are its goals, namely the destruction and enslavement of Russia, and the rape of its resources. He just goes about it a trifle more subtly than the previous stable of minions, but that is only because Plan A fell flat on its face so spectacularly.
I take encouragement from Lavrov's obvious awareness of that.
Thanks for the news we would never hear about.
Lavrov has clear picture of the deep contradictions in principal which is never interrupted .
The light has gone from Lavrov’s eyes.
I regret generalizing about the Outlaws for the Tragedy of Trump has a different dimension .
Yes, Trump is different—ugly like Biden and the entire Neoliberalcon choir, but his ugliness differs. The inner darkness that drives him is hard to discern. I do think he has a mental disability on top of the ADD learning disorder. We’ve seen him act—govern—for three months on top of his campaign bombast, plus his first term. Some say they already have him pegged; I need more time. Like Sinatra, he wants things done his way and becomes ugly when he doesn’t, as with the negotiations with Russia. Russia’s bottom-line grounds were announced last June, yet Trump refuses to listen or read what they are—they are very plain and simple. Yet, Trump is obsessed with making Russia accept a ceasefire they said they won’t accept last June. IMO, it’s a mania of some sort.
It's not a personal obsession, just the same old doubling down, not much different from the previous administration. Trump just puts a lot more smoke and mirrors on it, but the policy stays the same, it's not really Trump's policy but his masters'. He is not a free agent, he just makes it seem so with his bombastic personality.
The only thing that changed is that they finally realized they are losing, so plan B is negotiating a breather to rebuild their spent resources in order to, you guessed it, double down again. That is why Trump blathers on about ceasefire, negotiations, and "stopping the slaughter", but makes no actual concessions.
Some have said here that they were impressed by Lavrov's discussion about how he and Putin want the sanctions to continue because they stop the US neoliberals from helping themselves to Russia's assets, as was I. However, just a week of so ago, someone in the Russian gov't (was it Putin?) had said that US investment in the Russian economy was invited, which I think was the quest of Russian businessman Dimitriev whom Putin sent to US to investigate business deals between the US and Russia. Which endeavor by the Putin govt would contribute to the push for normalization between the two countries. On the other hand as Lavrov brought to focus, give the US an inch and they'll take a mile (my words).
Many of Trump's backers are greedy, and it skews their policy. A case in point is the torpedoing of the China tariffs by Musk and the Silicon Valley tycoons, for no other reason than protecting their short-term profits.
So, Dmitriev's mission is to tempt these Mammonists with the prospect of getting a profit out of cooperating with Russia. Hopefully they will urge Trump to pursue these illusory prospects, giving Russia some breathing space. But Dmitriev is not a decisionmaker; he is just following precise instructions. And his hints of economic opportunity are no more for real than Trump's concern for peace.
I see Dmitriev as more of a money manager, a good one. The real key is the Empire lacks power—economic and military—and the gap in both is being continually widened with both Russia and China. The problem is the exceptionalists have yet to admit those facts and deal with reality.
Putin dangled carrots in front of Trump. But to do business you must be honest, and that’s close to Impossible for Americans and the Collective West.
I like the way Lavrov called out Guterrez' lack of neutrality and what happened to the grain deal with Russia. Outrageous that the Secretary General of the UN should be biased as he is. There are many apparent corrections to the global political situation that could be easily made.
Guterrez is nothing but a contemptible puppet, to a far greater extent than Trump, who at least has popular backing. Guterrez has no other support than the Cabal who put him in his seat as a useful tool, because they were satisfied with his spineless obedience. He will do as he is told.
Thank you for publishing this, Karlofi. Interesting to see Lavrov being ... less diplomatic ... than usual. His condemnation of the "Joe Biden" regime was quite explicit, and totally deserved.
That question was spot on about the conflict between the territorial integrity of current nations versus the right of people (any people!) to self-determination. Lavrov' answer was as self-serving there as was the approach of NATO to Yugoslavia. A little disappointing.
Someday, we will have to realize the flaw with "International Law". None of us ever voted for any of those laws. None of us even voted for the people who set up those laws. We are stuck with a mass of largely unseen bureaucratic gobbledegook which ALL individual governments claim to be sacred when it is useful to them and ignore or sidestep when it conflicts with their interests. No government is free from hypocrisy!
The concept of ius gentium is an old Roman concept, and is in fact even older than that. It is not a statutory or voted law, and should not be, but is supposed to be an expression of universal values, sort of like common law. But even the Romans already tried to twist ius gentium to their advantage, and today it has degenerated into a set of arbitrary rules that only pay lip service to moral values.
The tired eyes of Lavrov may mean the Russians are realizing the Chinese have the right approach.
Nothing is possible with the criminal Outlaws acting defiantly always to the UN Charter.
Yep. I like that one very much. Thank you for it.
This article or interview contains so much information, details, and nuances that I find it difficult to give a short comment. But I will keep it very brief nonetheless.
F. Merz and most other European "leaders" will not be in Moscow on May 9 but in Kyiv, standing alongside a regime in the tradition of Bandera and Adolf Hitler. F. Merz (BlackRock) spoke of increased support for the Nazi regime in its fight against Russia. (Germany is ruled by BlackRock.) To help this Nazi regime defeat Russia. There are indeed "elites" in Germany who believe and wish that the world's most powerful nuclear state can be defeated. God help us. The USA is an oligarchy and plutocracy. Its European colonies are the same. ... That is why neither the USA nor its colonies will stop their fight against BRICS. Everything else is tactical maneuvering, deception, and foolish talk. The war may last a very long time, or the "West," especially the USA, may implode socioeconomically at any moment.
Conclusion: The battle lines are clear and distinct. There will be either victory or defeat. Ukraine is "only" a battlefield in this war, which is taking place globally. In other words, we are talking about World War III. The diplomatic niceties can be left to the diplomats—that’s their job. But we, the citizens, must call it what it is.
—————
In diesem Artikel bzw. Interview sind so viele Informationen, Details und Nuancen enthalten, dass es mir schwer fällt, einen kurzen Kommentar abzugeben. Aber ich werde es trotzdem sehr kurz halten.
F. Merz und die meisten anderen europäischen "Führer" werden am 9. Mai nicht in Moskau sein, sondern in Kiew, an der Seite eines Regimes, in der Tradition von Bandera und Adolf Hitler. F. Merz (Black Rock) hat von einer verstärkten Unterstützung des Naziregimes, im Kampf gegen Russland gesprochen. (Deutschland wird von Black Rock regiert.) Um diesem Naziregime zu helfen Russland zu besiegen. Es gibt tatsächlich "Eliten" in Deutschland, die glauben und wünschen, dass die mächtigste Atommacht der Welt besiegt werden kann. Gott hilf uns. Die USA sind eine Oligarchie und Plutokratie. Ihre europäischen Kolonien ebenfalls. .... Deshalb werden weder die USA, noch ihre Kolonien mit ihrem Kampf gegen die BRICS aufhören. Alles andere ist Taktiererei, Täuschung und dummes Gerede. Der Krieg mag sehr lange dauern oder der "Westen", insbesondere die USA implodieren sozioökonomisch plötzlich.
Fazit: Die Fronten sind klar und deutlich. Es wird Sieg oder Niederlage geben. Die Ukraine ist "nur" ein Schlachtfeld in diesem Krieg, der global stattfindet. Sprich, wir reden vom 3. Weltkrieg. Das darum herum reden überlassen wir den Diplomaten. Das ist deren Job. Aber wir Bürger müssen es klar benennen.
I could really sense his fatigue and frustration, just reading his words. So much of what he said has already been said so many times before, it's just that too many people are obtuse and determined not to hear. And what also becomes clear, if it wasn't already before, is that this is something Russians have had to deal with for a very, very long time, being treated as less-than and not worthy of respect and civility and to be heard. On the up side, they're no longer trying to "measure up" to some standard they'd never be allowed to achieve anyway because they've realized that they're the superior in a civilizational contest with the West.
He is disappointed that the hopes that some had laid on Trump have proven so thoroughly illusory. That there will be no return to normal relations, because the West remains and will remain agreement incapable. No wonder he looks sad, all his diplomatic expertise is useless in confrontation with the utterly dishonorable.
"utterly dishonorable" - that's it exactly. But I wouldn't say it was useless; it's not achieving the diplomatic ends Russia hoped for but the world is watching and they see what we're seeing, what we all *need* to see.
