Are you willing to send Russians to die in South Ossetia, Azerbaijan, Syria, Turkey, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Poland, the Ukraine, Greenland, Alaska.... Don’t you think Putin and Russia are biting off more than they can chew?
that remains to be seen
Lavrov seems to be one of the most astute diplomats in the world right now and there is a heckuva lot going on relating to long term economic development of the Eurasian heartland and that is driving security arrangements for the long term , for which Putin is earning major karma points
I’d stack Lavrov and Putin up over john Kerry, Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice and obama
