“We do not expect a breakthrough (in Syria), but the situation should not worsen”
negotiations on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly with US Secretary of State John Kerry “went marvelously.”

You have to understand that everyone remained with their own, but did the Americans promise us not to oppose in Syria?

“Passed miraculously” I do not understand how to understand this, we are waiting for clarification.

[Kent0001]

This is the language of diplomacy. If Lavrov put it that way, then we have achieved something.

[iouris]

The situation is very bad. However, optimists believe that it could be worse.

[Andrey Yuryevich]

He is always a diplomat. A diplomat ... like he said, but what did he say ???

That the meeting took place, each side stated its position at the current moment and its wishes, each side pretended to hear the opposite, and all remained in their own interests, because they do not make decisions, a negative result is also a result

[CAMS]

but did the Americans promise us not to oppose in Syria?-to promise does not mean to get married. Actually, I think that the Americans will only increase the aid of Isil. In short, Afghanistan-2, only now we will fight with the Asad’s hands, and the Americans, as usual, with the hands of the Islamists and yes, it’s more like Korea or Vietnam.

So, why not counteract it?

I meant real actions, not UN resolutions.

Also Filchenkov again, the Bosphorus passed to Syria, it is loaded with the very tomatoes.

[aszzz888]

Syria and I need to be especially sighted. Help and help in everything. But so that the second Afghan did not suit the meadows.
Otherwise we’ll be stuck for a long time.
It’s also up to you to decide ...

Lavrov has a nickname "Bulldog" in diplomatic circles. “Wonderful,” as I understand it - this is when he grabs hold of a throat and gives a couple of kicks, but why not die, otherwise who can you communicate with then? Not with Hillarishka.

[Lyton]

I kind of read that he drove "Mr. NO"

Double opinion. Originally Mr. No- This is Gromyko.
Well so

[Good me]

Some Western journalists described Gromyko as follows: “If he (Gromyko) shakes your hand, looks into your eyes smiling, but at the same time holds his second hand in the pocket of his trousers, you know - in his pocket, he“ folded ”your fig (dule, cookie) "...

[Wolka]

“miraculously” apparently should be understood as follows: if the Yankees do not stop their dirty tricks regarding B. Assad and the props of fighting the igils, then Russia and the coalition of countries supporting it unilaterally in the near future will clean up the territories of the states that were attacked and held by the igils, with the subsequent reinstallation of political forces in the Middle East, including in resolving the Kurdish issue ...

[sv68]

the conversation went wonderfully - for the first time, Kerry managed to feed him without fear of being bitten.

So called Gromyko.

[horoh]

Lavrov said, “We do not expect a breakthrough in Syria,” he simply did not say “Until we expect it.” The subtleties of diplomacy, well done Lavrov !!!

[Masya masya]

Wonderful, wonderful?

[roskot]

Russia does not expect a breakthrough in Syria, nor does the situation worsen.

In general, the status quo

All situevina in Ukraine is an excellent occasion for sanctions that cause us damage, and this is the most desirable moment for the United States.

We ourselves bring damage to us, turning our brains inside out and, having no sperm economy, not trying to create it, but only destroying what remains of the USSR. Just for the right to fall for the "benefits of civilization."

And all rushed to live beyond their means. Who is hoping for raw materials, who is for the sale of their own territory, who, simply for the fact that "abroad will help us."
As a result, having seen and felt that a couple of “faucets” had been closed for loafers, they screamed about the disaster, about the sanctions.

[loaln]

Extension

We must work, gentlemen who are free spirits, especially those dressed in power, do not look for another “nipple” to which you could fall and again forget in dreams of universal values.

Build your economic system, and not try to outwit someone in the dollar. Direct raw materials to domestic needs. Spend the currency only to those who EARN it, and not put on a REVIEW for raw materials for free.

And then until the news of what you just do not know. Bandits, crooks, youngsters, abroad in hundreds of poses and plots.
There is no one. And what is being done in RUSSIA to create its own developed economy. A SHAME!

And I would like to at least see that one or two enterprises equipped with import appeared two or three with domestic, worse equipment. Until this happens, the "screamers" are sanctioned and do not need to propagate. They will walk in droves, looking for where to fall again.

“Mr. No” is Andrei Andreyevich Gromyko, and Lavrov is his worthy student.
