A crowd laughed at Russia's top diplomat when he said the Ukraine war "was launched against us."

An audience member at India's G20 summit shouted "come on!" at Sergey Lavrov during the event. He was answering a question about Russia's energy strategy moving forward.

Sergey Lavrov, Russia's top diplomat and a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a conference in India Thursday said that the war in Ukraine "was launched against us," prompting the crowd to erupt in laughter.

Lavrov was a speaker at India's G20 Summit in New Delhi, leading a session that was part of a "Raisina Dialogue 2023" series. He was in discussion with Sunjoy Joshi, Chairman of the Observer Research Foundation in India, and took questions from the audience.

One audience member asked Lavrov: "How the war has affected Russia's strategy on energy, and will it mark a privilege toward Asia? And if it does, how is India going to feature in it?"

"You know, the war, which we are trying to stop, which was launched against us, using the..." Lavrov began, before being cut off by loud laughter from the crowd.

"...The Ukrainian people, uh, of course, influenced..." Lavrov tried again, before being cut off by more laughter and a shout of "Come on!" from the crowd.

Sergey Lavrov, a prime Putin stooge. He has been kicking around for years, and is worth tens of millions.

Lavrov made the mistake of talking to a crowd of mesmerized zeeple who consume the mainstream Media pablum like a dog on a full catbox.

This kind of ahistorical nonsense was always popular in the Soviet Union and with KGB agent Putin running Russia is it any wonder they’re up to their old tricks again?

Take it from the old deceiver himself:

“There is no such thing as a former KGB man.”

I’ve been watching a lot of WWII videos on YouTube recently. Lots of stuff from the German point of view. The other day was one about German paratroopers attacking the Netherlands. Germany had to do this to stop the UK from taking Dutch ports.

And, of course, attacking Norway was absolutely necessary to keep the UK from interrupting Germany’s iron supply coming from Sweden. And Denmark had to be invaded as well, because, well, it’s just there.

To begin the war Germany had to defend itself against an aggressive Poland, and the city of Danzig was really German anyway so Germany had every right to take it back.

more interesting than anything I’ve seen elsewhere, especially Aaron Mate.
Braun says don’t speculate, but it was probably Russia:

Who is responsible for the attack on Russia’s gas pipelines?
by Anand Naidoo
It’s been five months since a series of explosions damaged Russia’s Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea. Despite numerous investigations, it’s yet to be determined who’s responsible.
But a report by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh is gaining a lot of attention. He claims the U.S. was responsible. Washington vehemently denies any involvement.
Now, Russia is calling on the United Nations Security Council to ask for an independent inquiry.

Joining the discussion:
Aurel Braun is a professor of International Relations and Political Science at the University of Toronto.
Klaus Larres is a visiting scholar at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University.
Aaron Mate is a contributor to the Nation and Host of Pushback with Aaron Mate on the Grayzone.
Ray McGovern is a former analyst with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency...

Corporal Agarn left us last year at the ripe old age of 99.

We're revealing our age.
