“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?

"We went wonderfully" I do not understand at all how to understand this, we are waiting for clarifications.

[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.

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?

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 the nickname "Bulldog" in diplomatic circles. “Wonderful,” as I understand it, is when she grabs the throat and gives a couple of kicks, but what if not to death, and then with whom then to communicate? Not with Hillary.

I kind of read that he was driven by "Mr. NO"

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

[Good me]

Some Western journalist described Gromyko as follows: "If he (Gromyko) shakes your hand, looks you in the eye, smiling, but at the same time keeps his other hand in his pants pocket, you know - in his pocket, he has turned a fig (dummy, fig) "...

[Wolka]

“wonderfully”, apparently, it should be understood as follows, if the Yankees do not stop their dirty tricks against B. Assad and the props of the fight against igils, then Russia with a coalition of countries supporting it unilaterally in the near future will themselves clean up the territories of states attacked and held by igils, with the subsequent re-establishment of political forces in the Middle East, including in solving 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 "We do not expect it yet." 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, having turned our brains inside out and, having no sper-economy, not trying to create it, but only by destroying what is left of the USSR. All in all, for the right to fall for the "blessings of civilization."

And everyone rushed to live beyond their means. Some are hoping for raw materials, some for the sale of their own territory, some simply for the fact that "abroad will help us."
As a result, seeing and feeling that a couple of "faucets" for idlers were closed, they yelled about the catastrophe and about sanctions.

[loaln]

Extension

It is necessary to work, gentlemen-freeloaders, especially vested with power, not to look for another "nipple", to which one 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 for one enterprise equipped with imports, two or three with domestic, not inferior equipment appeared. Until this happens, there is no need to multiply the "screamers" of the sanctions. They will walk in droves, looking for where to fall again.

"Mister No" is Andrei Andreevich Gromyko, and Lavrov is his worthy student.
