Secretary of State John Kerry called all the foreign ministers of countries that deal with North Korea following Monday's nuclear test and all but one of them picked up the phone -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Kerry made his first remarks about the new nuclear test, which the North Koreans warned the State Department about in advance.

"With respect to the DPRK, President Obama made it crystal clear last night and previously in all comments, as have other countries, that North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile program are a threat now to the United States of America, because of what they are pursuing specifically, as well as to global security and peace," Kerry said.

Even KGB agents didn’t much care for traitors to their own countries...especially the US. They used them, but they didn’t like them.

What a moron.
Who has the laughing zebra picture?

[SueRae]

RESET!

Nobody trusts a traitor.

I doubt if Putin has much respect for people weak enough to be turned into KGB assets.

When they want to know his opinion they’ll call him and tell him what it is.

It’s the correct way to treat a faithless subordinate.

[SoldierDad]

Shouldn’t that have been, “Jenghis Khan”?

Noone likes a traitor. Sometimes one must do business with them, but one does not have to like them.

Why would Lavrov want to talk to a fool’s fool?

Even the Russians know he’s a joke.

He's a laughing stock in Vietnam. During the 2004 elections some pro-American friends who live in Saigon told me that everybody there laughs at him and know he ran way from Vietnam back during the war. They were rooting for a Bush second term.

Russians may not admit it overtly, but they liked Reagan a lot, and they certainly respected him.

[cgbg]

Russians have a very low tolerance for idiots.

Anyway—they are too busy plotting new criminal activities to waste their time with a useless clown like Kerry.

Only slightly better than

if Obama called and they won't answer.

Obama (vindictive as he is) might, just might, do something all of us will regret.

[Chode]

hey, Russia... i'm over here!!!!

[depressed in 06]

Another Purple Heart? Two more and John Fraud can leave State.

[bmwcyle]

Maybe they think he has Hillary’s misspelled reset button.

The only skill I see in Kerry is the ability to sequentially hook up with rich women so he can leech off of them.

Parasitic marriage abilities do little to gain the respect of the world community.

Oh, too funny! Great post!
