John Kerry's Russian counterpart mocks him for talking too much

Secretary of State John Kerry's negotiations with the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov got off to a rocky start Thursday, with the Russian mocking Kerry right at the outset.

"They got off to a really bad start yesterday --- partly because of the Putin op-ed and partly because Kerry in the opening remarks spoke at length --- and I mean at length --- compared to the unprepared few welcoming comments from the Russian counterpart," NBC News foreign correspondent Andrea Mitchell said on "Morning Joe."

"And then the Russian minister said at the end, very tartly, 'Sometimes diplomacy demands silence.'"

Mitchell said the tone improved after a private dinner yesterday evening, but Syrian dictator Bashar Assad's decision to set another precondition for handing over his chemical weapons (he wants the United States to stop arming the rebels, in addition to holding off on a military strike on his regime) is complicating matters.

Send a back bencher boy to do a mans job and you are going to get a smack down.

We are so screwwwwed.

Just remember that Obama told Putin he would be more flexible AFTER the election.

I wonder what Obama is signing away to the Commies being more flexible now?

What part of the US is going to belong to the Commies when Kerry the VC cxxk sucker seals the deal?

Smoke and mirrors......watch this hand and I will slap you with the other..

I bet Kerry made his speechwriter work all night to get that over-length drivel ready for the morning.

Meanwhile Ketchup boy was sleeping soundly. So typical of the ruling class.

“Red Dawn” might be rewritten with the Russians coming in to help the American freedom-fighters.

“Constitution Spring”

“Regime change”

“Wolverines!”

I like your summary but am not as optimistic as you. It's going to get much worse before the dancing with stars crowd connects the dots. Obamacare and the IRS are drooling on the sidelines and will "fundamentally transform" our lives quite dramatically. The crime ridden inner cities are only getting worse by the day, the illegals are still here, and 17 trillion in debt won't magically go away; a number usually only appreciated by chemists and astronomers. The whole shebang that is the United States has been packed with IED's, tripwires, and all other manner of sabotage by the enemies within to virtually guarantee a catastrophe.

I think he would be even more scared when he hears what lurch did to charlie, cutting off heads and limbs, attaching jumper cables to the body and then raping them.

yeah that was kerry committing war crimes.

Didn’t he know Kerry served in Vietnam?

Surely this important qualification was raised by Kerry to burnish his bona fides as a war planner

In fact the Russian FM probably knew some of Kerry's NVA and Viet Cong negotiating partners ... the moderate ones .... who only killed a million Vietnamese after we surrendered them

Maybe we are on to something—New Tea Party ralling Cry—Wolverines! Constitutial Spring! Or better yet—Son of Liberty! Get your pitchfolks ready minutemen! Load your muskets and be ready to light the lamps on the Liberty tree.

It reminds me of those comparisons of what you think you look like and what others see.
