In an appearance on Russia Today's "Sophie & Co," Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov attacked the United States claiming it regularly goes back on the foreign policy deals that have been made on Syria Iran and the Ukraine.
"They try not to deliver what they promised," Lavrov said.
In the interview Lavrov also aggressively challenged the Untied States standing as the lone global superpower.
"Well I already said this is not about the Ukraine," he added. "Ukraine is just one manifestation of the Americans unwillingness to yield in the geopolitical fight. Americans are not ready to admit they cannot run the show in each and every part of the globe from Washington alone. And they cannot oppose [sic] their ready made solutions on everyone."
When a hungry bear smells weakness, your entrails just may wind up as its lunch.
Is that as bad as saying they will bury us? Since when do you give a crap about what any Russian leader says about us? And there is no way they could seriously challenge us militarily these days. Oh well, have your gloat of the day. It don't matter much to me.
ReplyDeleteBecause Russia has hegemonic design on as much of its part of the world as it can control, directly or indirectly.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter if we have more military might. We have a declinist as our ruler, which means we'd never seriously engage the likes of Russia if it came to that point.
Oh, there's Ike's Domino Theory again, the more things change, the more they stay the same. I am not sure whether you have figured it out yet that our foreign policy is different from the 1st Bush administration. Most of the non-elected players in that disaster left by the time of the 2nd term. By the end of the 2nd term America & the world was done with preemptivity, at least for then. But this is now, so understandably hawks of your ilk are perplexed. But you do not have to be, it's only natural we would swing the other way towards diplomacy which you began to squawk about in the latter years of the Bush administration. I remember a lot of carping about Condi, though now she holds a revered position in your pantheon, at least compared to your detested Freedom Haters who you have gone so far as to say are deliberately running our country into the ground.. Come to think of it, didn't the Bush Doctrine include a variation of a hegemonic design on as much of its part of the world (and even parts not in its part)?
ReplyDeleteHah! Russia's credit rating just got cut. I hope this burns Putin's ass.
ReplyDeleteI still hold Condi and her underling Christopher Hill responsible for not thwarting the North Korean nuclear threat, but rather wasting time on Six-Way Talks.
ReplyDeleteNo, there was nothing hegemonic about the Bush Doctrine.
Paraphrasing Pink Floyd, if you don't have your credit.how can you have any conflicts, if you don't have your credit?
