Lavrov: Relations With US ‘Worse Than Cold War’; The West is Practicing ‘Genocide by Sanctions’

In an interview with the BBC, Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, said the United States punished first and looked at the evidence second — exclaiming Russo-American relations were worse now than during the Cold War — because during the Cold War, unlike now, there were open channels of communication.

He described the present situation in the harshest of terms, saying western nations were practicing ‘genocide by sanctions.’

In regards to the chemical attacks in Syria, Lavrov implied the US was signaling terrorist groups to carry out these attacks, or inviting them, by offering them an incentive in the form of military support.

“When some time ago the three western countries, who are leading this crazy campaign said: ‘if Assad uses chemical weapons then we would use force.’ I believe that was a signal to the bad guys, including the White Helmets to stage a provocation,” Lavrov said. “Now after they stuck on April 14, they say again if you do this again we will use force again – this is another invitation to the opposition; to the extremists to resume fighting, which they did already. They tried to attack Damascus immediately after the strike.”

The Russian RTSI is -20% from the February highs.

        You’re also doing a fantastic job accommodating the Ku Klux Klan.

          I don’t accommodate. People leave comments and it’s their business. I’d argue you’re more unstable and probably liable to kill someone more than most here.

          From what I’ve gathered from you — you applaud genocide.

            No. Fucking. Way.

            FWIW, I do apologize to whoever misinterpreted/was offended by my banters and opinions.

            I certainly do not condone genocide as in mass murdering a certain race/class of people, especially white people. The demographic shifts are what they are. I’m not in a hurry.

            What I do sincerely applaud is your tolerance to people who disagree with you. And that no one should take for granted.

            Censoring speech is inherently unAmerican, and even a very liberal SCOTUS acknowledged that in 1969:

            I’d very much prefer to swap Clarence Thomas for Harry Anderson, who wasn’t a “conservative” champion from what I can tell.

            Also, most of the people that I dealt and still deal with in academia are (liberal) old white males. One of them actually marched on Washington with Joe Stiglitz among the marchers in 1963.

            Not only do I not want them to die, I want them to live long and continue to prosper.

      Does your “coin” have one side or two sides? The MSM jewrnalistic propaganda re MUH Russia being guilty of everything, even of your leaking colon, is one side of the coin that you promote here. We’re just giving you the other side of the same coin so you can go back and inform your marxist comrades that we’re not buying that shit over here.

      To their credit, the Kremlin at least pays their serfs at the troll plantation a living wage:

        That’s shit wage, Shlomo’s comments are no more than 1/2 dozen words, for example, and he gets paid $2K for 5hrs/wk:

        Israeli students are paid $2,000 to work five hours per week to “lead the battle against hostile websites.”

    Imagine how bad it would be if dotard actually enforced the sanctions. Then we might get somewhere with these cement heads.

    Unfortunately Trump has to make up for 8 years of nerdy black guy presidency and the destructing of this country into some hip hop gangster lyrics into one which the USA is supposed to be. The one in charge. Trump has many works to do. I think he is doing ok. Sucks he has to be a thug now because of that imbecile dorky black guy president who was worse than Bush 2.

      The nerdy half-white guy simply rolled over to the manipulations, covert, overt and implied threats and subtle and not-so subtle coercions of the shadow government, deep state, might- and profit-greedy ones, etc., that all Presidents who have a shred of dignity and a sense of righteousness have to face.
      He didn’t have the stones or the wise savvy to do as he was elected to do. He rolled over like a dog on a shag rug lest he be JFK’d.

      Trump is torn between his sucking up to the power structure and his promises to his base to drain the swamp as promised. He’s feeling the heat, that is for sure, so he goes back and forth, back and forth.

    It is funny that anyone is afraid of Russia. They are good at projecting power, but total pussies when it comes to standing up against America/West.

    The difference between Nerdy poor black Obama and Trump is Trump has money and power like JFK. He does not have to be a puppett. Democrats really suck by being accomodating. Carter, Clinton etc. This is a war machine. They are democrat sell outs. The deep state now had to drain all the democratic crap installed. They were crippled. Now it is time to rip on the ruskies and chinese again.
