Behind the microphones staring out at the gathered media yet again, Lavrov provides his recap remarks on the conference and fields questions during the 27-minute session:
The banking cabal uses its servants in an attempt to assure the continuation of Grand Loot.
"The IMF and the World Bank are setting records for replenishing the Zelensky regime through their policies, allocating loans and credits that are many times higher than the funds allocated to African and other developing countries. This has an extremely negative impact on the global economy."
I think this is one of the most significant statements Lavrov made:
"The global economy is characterised by a disproportionate increase in defence and military spending. According to Western experts, it amounted to $2.4 trillion a year. An outrageous example is the Zelensky regime, which absorbs (at least) hundreds of billions of dollars in military aid, which could be spent on vital development assistance programmes around the world, primarily in Africa."
It ties in very nicely with President Trump's statement about wanting all parties to cut military expenditures. Maybe Russia is listening to the Trump Administration?
By the way, Karlofi, your distaste for the former Outlaw American Empire is understandable -- but don't let the past blind you to the present: America is now under new management, and that new management is evincing a real desire to change course, and step away from past behavior. Give the new guy a chance.
I live within the Empire, and my wife sees what's happening on the domestic policy side. As I've written, we need to see deeds not words as the Empire changes its behavior. Obeying the law would be an excellent place to start, but even that seems to be a step too far. While I agree with purging the Deep State, many of Trump's EOs are clearly, blatantly unconstitutional violating his oath of office. He accuses Zelensky of being a dictator yet acts dictatorially himself. Yes, the threat of nuclear war has diminished. But that's of little solace to the thousands who thought they had secure jobs and thus a secure future but now have neither, and then there are those onlookers wondering if they'll be the next item on the menu.
50% of Americans still think Putin stole the 2016 election from Hillary. We have a long way to go until multipolarity will ever be accepted here and of course American citizens will pay financially for that.
Lavrov is next to Putin in speaking no nonsense facts. Very impressive indeed!

Well Anna, Burkina Faso managed to disentangle itself from the IMF/WB. Other African countries to follow. We should be praising God.
Let Ukraine, Eastern Europe and the rest of the West have those sweetheart banking deals. They'll need them.
Blackrock and the Good Ol' Boys need to get a return on their investment in Ukraine.
Too sad.
He is a good diplomat.
I hope the west comes around to honouring the idea of a multipolar world from the BRICS point of view.
That'll be a very challenging change for many in the west.
Thanks for posting, Karl.
