thanks karl! an excellent summation from the brilliant diplomat lavrov... i enjoyed your commentary at the end as well... here is my quick take...
the UN has been used to maintain a unipolar world, just as the imf has - and it is no longer working... and even better - many countries around the world can see this for what it is.. no better example is in the topic of israel-palestine as lavrov rightly highlights... none of the UNs resolutions and mandates have been honoured over the 75 odd years around this most important issue..
for there to be peace, there must be mutual respect and consideration for others... instead of claiming russian guilt on everything- no matter what it is - bucha or navalnys death - in the absence of the essential details and analysis that show this - it is all propaganda... and this brings us to the role of the media in the world today..
until the media is used in a neutral fact based manner, it will be innuendo by omission - propaganda... the fact the usa congress is on record paying for propaganda isn't confidence building but just the opposite... the usa will have to come to terms with the changing landscape on the planet into a multi polar world.. no amount of bullying is going to cut it anymore - not that it ever did.. kudos to lavrov and thank you karl!
Excellent observation james. There's much to draw from Lavrov as always, which always makes it challenging to comment on his detailed remarks and answers to questions. The man's mind is very powerful.
Maria Zakharova: Evelyn, your experience is well known, you are a well-known journalist. Could you help me get a list of those "killed" in Bucha? We did not succeed even with the Secretary-General.
Loved that one.
Lavrov must be getting tired of this. Looking forward to the Trump Foreign Policy Team.
