Sergey Lavrov on the West’s attempts to lower the Iron Curtain: “... they can pinch themselves”

Today, an interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will be broadcast on Radio Russia and the Russia 24 channel. Journalists, in particular, decided to ask about the assessment of the head of Russian diplomacy that the West is trying to "lower the new iron curtain." Official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Maria Zakharova, on her page in Facebook published the succinct answer that Lavrov gave to the question.

Maria Zakharova writes:

I give you one phrase from the interview right now:
Question: How do you assess the statements that Western countries are lowering the new iron curtain in relation to Russia?
Lavrov: When they will lower the iron curtain, can you pinch anything.

Indeed, a few months ago, for example, the American president declared that Russia was isolated and turned almost into a rogue state. However, in the light of recent events (when Russia showed what it is capable of protecting its interests), the tone of those who tried to lower the iron curtain changed dramatically. Obama has already said that, it turns out, "always supported Russia in the fight against terrorism" ...

Apparently, the iron curtain, as Sergey Lavrov put it, really pinched something, and the “victims” are trying to raise the “heavy insulation structure” built by themselves in order to avoid further “injuries” of important organs ...

Clever Sergei Viktorovich ... For a word in his pocket does not go!
Against the background of dependent, tongue-tied and incompetent politicians and foreign ministers of many Western countries, he looks brilliant. The successes of our country in the international arena, in many respects and his merit !!!
I think that he is the best foreign minister, since the time of A.V. Gromyko, who in the West had enormous prestige.

I think that he is the best foreign minister, since the time of A.V. Gromyko, who in the West had enormous prestige.

But what about Evgeni Maksimovich Primakov
January 9, 1996 was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
And until its last days June 26, 2015
It was considered the most ambitious ...

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Lavrov is certainly a unique figure of our time. This is a man who is on a par with such political titans of the past as Talleyrand, Machiavelli, Bismarck, Molotov, Gromyko ...
In general, this is a person about whom we can tell my grandchildren:
"Yes, there were people these days,
not like the current tribe ... "

[Angro Magno]

What about Gorchakov? I would primarily compare with him, for he acted in a similar international situation.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Greetings, dear Michael!
I have nothing against Gorchakov I simply wrote the most famous surnames - of course, the lists of the great diplomats of the past (including the great Russian diplomats) by the list I presented are not nearly exhausted.

[Angro Magno]

I agree, the bourgeoisie is more by ear.
By the way, there is a reverse example. Our Judas Kozyrev can be compared with our own Nesselrode, who worked for the Austrians during the Crimean War.
And they say about Talleyrand that he worked for our intelligence. And maybe not only ours.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Quote: Angro Magno

I agree, the bourgeoisie is more by ear.

In general, yes. And the same Molotov, who worked on equal terms with such (more precisely, against such) monsters as Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Winston Spencer Churchill, was completely undeservedly forgotten.

Quote: Angro Magno

Our Judas Kozyrev

Ah, colleague, aren’t you ashamed to call this name in a decent society?

Quote: Angro Magno

And they say about Talleyrand that he worked for our intelligence.

Everything is quite complicated there. The fact is that at some point Napoleondor Buonaparte felt omnipotent and began to pursue a catastrophic foreign policy - his idea of ​​a continental blockade was logical, but insane, and was supported by the Emperor's confidence that "I can do anything." Talleyrand betrayed Napoleon precisely when his aspirations came into clear conflict with the good of France. I am extremely far from praising Talerand's patriotism (it is doubtful that Talleyrand had anything to do with patriotism, his own interests were much closer to him) and in general Bonaparte was absolutely right, calling Talleyrand "mud in silk stockings", but on the whole, regardless of the motives, Talleyrand's policy was in favor of France. And he was an excellent diplomat - in fact, at that time, perhaps only Napoleon himself was better than Talleyrand.

[4elovek]

Oh, I can’t agree with you, Evgeni Maksimovich Primakov, although not for long (just a couple of years), but he also headed Russian diplomacy very well.

[Streich]

One turn of the plane back to Russia, during the Yugoslav events, is the only one. A person very respected by me. And in addition, modest. Once I had to be in the "management, \" at the exit from the plane with him to hang around for about 20 minutes. It was in Brussels that something broke. People began of course a little indignant, but Yevgeny Maksimovich began to joke and smoothed the situation. !!!!! !!
Yes, Lavrov is the greatest diplomat of our time. I fully agree with many statements.

But Sergey Viktorovich is right!

[Angro Magno]

And who, in fact, is trying?
It seems, on the contrary, they begin to see clearly?
Or am I thinking too well about our Western friends?

[provincial]

"Or am I thinking too well of our western friends?" read this - the European Union has prepared three options for extending the sanctions against Russia, adopted after the annexation of Crimea following the results of the referendum, including the extension of restrictive measures by only three to four months, writes The Wall Street Journal. The first option is for a year, the second is for six months and the third is for 3-4 months.

[Angro Magno]

Preparation was carried out before the attacks in Paris and the meeting 20-ki. The situation has changed a bit.

[veksha50]

Read the news ... They (the EU) have already come up with three options for strengthening sanctions, so far they are choosing which one to apply ...

In fact, the situation is idiotic and ambiguous ... How hard it is to live and communicate with the rabble surrounding Russia ... More precisely, with the politicians of the countries surrounding Russia ...

Not for nothing that even a well-educated and intelligent Lavrov sometimes breaks down in his speech circulation ...

[Rom14]

You don't need to think about "them" .., you just need to remember them and know that "they" massacred the indigenous population of America (Americans) and are ready to do it all over the Planet ..... at least with their own hands ...

There is nothing more to add - as they say everything is short and clear.

I wonder how you can "isolate" with modern IT technologies? And the world is no longer unipolar ...

laughed, thanks to Lavrov. To nip the eggs with iron curtains)))

Our Diplomats began to Irony and Pin. . . well done. So Europe was in an uncomfortable position.

A worthy student of A.A. Gromyko, and the nickname in diplomatic circles is suitable "Bulldog" ...

It is time for Lavrov to erect a monument in his lifetime.

If they omit it, then Russia may not allow it to be lifted. So the smartest and most beautiful ones will survive there.

Do not put a finger in your mouth !!! I respect !!!

Lavrov is beautiful! But it’s too late - not just something is pinched, but the brain in the head of the leadership of the West, which no longer perceives the prevailing reality, and operating on half-dead cells gives wrong decisions ...

[BaLaLaykin]

Israel will tear everyone behind this curtain, it has only organized all-include for Russian tourists and then they wanted to put some fuckers on it

Well! We are just used to it. We agreed with the Chinese on diesels. No, Europe stock contracts have sucked!

[v1tz]

Uncle Seryozha, Russia is now the mouthpiece of truth, but even the iron curtains do not save her.

[triglav]

They had already pinched everything, and now it was swollen and sore. And to Russia for surgical help.

[inferno_nv]

It feels like our type "partners" live in the 60s and 70s of the last century! Maybe someone will still tell them that the world has already changed and it is not possible to isolate such a world player as Russia in modern conditions, and the G 20 summit showed how much GDP is isolated)))! The grandmother during the reign became like an alcoholic drunk, but the GDP, on the contrary, became younger!

[Sergey-8848]

So let them live behind the curtain (I’m ashamed, probably, for doing business).

[Al_oriso]

They can nip, but the curtain has been falling for a couple of years now.
Perhaps Western countries are playing with Russia, raising and lowering the curtain.
We have significantly less leverage than them.
Now Syria and the terrorists have appeared, now they will no longer play with us.

[Secta haki]

Maybe you just don’t know about them?

[Al_oriso]

Maybe I don’t know, but I see that the ruble fell with us, and not with them, that prices in stores jumped up with us, and not with them, that utility bills ...
Continue?

continue as long as you like for me, having survived the dashing nineties and having felt ashamed for my country myself, I will experience other troubles that will bring sanctions and other surprises from our "western partners." I was still in school then and all the students went to this exhibition because at the entrance they gave badges, posters and other glass with beads. And here we are sitting on the fence near the service exit of this event, an Amer comes out onto the porch with two cans of cola, drinks one jar, and the second jar is thrown in a big way behind us into the forest. I almost fell off the fence, so everyone who was sitting with me rushed from the fence behind this can. INCREDIBLE SHAME is what I experienced at that moment, and this shame was imprinted in me for many years, and now I always know what to answer with all kinds of Navalny and others like him

[Secta haki]

Mrs. Nuland, when she worked as a counselor in "Artek" on an exchange, also threw seeds to the children on the ground in front of her feet

even received for it and since then does not like Russia and Russians even more

Only a really strong and self-confident country can afford humor in diplomacy. And the humor in the mouth of such a diplomat as Sergei Viktorovich in relation to the main opponent is simply "going out to painful with retention." Smiled

INOSMI: Speaking on Russian television on Tuesday, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Washington of indecision in the fight against the Islamic State, saying that the United States is like a cat who wants to eat fish and not to soak its paws.

The free press immediately responded: "Russia insults the US military strategy with a strange cat metaphor."

The press is "free" from what ??? From the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation? So let them squeal! At least we will know the sworn "partners" by sight!

[uskrabut]

In the government there are only two normal literate and hardworking men: Lavrov and Shoigu. They think and work for the good of Russia. The rest, at best, are a faceless gray mass; at worst, Russia's hidden enemies.

[Wedmak]

Now Zakharova has also diluted the men's company. This is not the first time that she pokes right into the eye of a presumptuous. It hurts, but it is necessary.

[Mountain shooter]

Yes, this phrase is at the level - "To wet in the toilet" - and "Is there enough electrical tape?"

[serezhasoldatow]

I wonder what Lavrov hinted at? If what most people think about, then they don’t have it. Head? Also not a fact. ARE THERE NO LIVING IMPORTANT BODIES to nip them? Now I’ll be tormented, not sleep, where are their organs that they will infringe?

[chelovektapok]

Lavrov, well done! There has never been such a foreign minister in Russia! There’s no one to even compare .... The Russian Land is not impoverished by the Bogatyrs (in this case, by intelligence)!

Chancellor Gorchakov? Gromyko? Can't be compared with them? With all due respect to Sergey Viktorovich.

[givigor71]

Well, here’s the carriage,
And the coachman hung over.
And in the haze of a new dawn -
The lights of yesterday's bonfire.
Harnessed horses harnessed reliable,
And the pillar-free path,
And the sword is pulled out of its sheath
As if there is no turning back.
Sewn on new epaulets
And poured balm on the soul.
Saints bowed
Native graves and crosses.
The bay are hoofing,
And the dust was shaken off the monograms,
Debts repaid past
At the price of new bills.
The carriage started with a creak,
Sagging low on the axles.
And the coachman rules in Manhattan
Whip over the bay skidding.
Here, gaining momentum,
Wheels knead mud
But as if holding someone from behind
Do not let go, leaning.
Stepping heavier into clay
The bay went on a step.
Do not overpower the umbilical cord,
What stretched out of the ground.
You won’t overpower yourself
Although it seems - almost managed.
For our weakness. For Russia.
For our destiny and our limit.

S.Lavrov

"Munching mud,
Red and rusty ..
The horses will get stuck in stirrups ...
But they draw me to a poor Power,
What turned sour, swollen from sleep!

Yes, stones-rifts, -
If the flap has thinned to blood,
I will patch it with gold patches ...
For the Lord to notice more often! "(C) V.S. Vysotsky

Sorry, could not resist))

[Karabin]

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova posted that capacious answer on her Facebook page

Especially for pop patriots. Now you don't have to watch the interview, the most relish has already been announced. Moreover, there is no need to analyze what this glorious state man said at press conferences, summits and so on. "I pinched the morons on Facebook" and this is the main thing. If the unforgettable Jane referred to social networks in the Donbass, then patriotic pop music assesses the foreign policy of the Russian Federation based on the Foreign Ministry's muzzle-book posts and Rogozin's tweets. Why think about "the best choice of the Ukrainian people Poroshenko", although quite recently there was "the legally elected President Yanukovych", Crimea is Russia, and Donbass ... "We are for the territorial integrity of Dill," Assad was chosen democratically, and who was fighting against them was illegal formations and suddenly became just armed oppositionists with whom it is necessary to form a transitional government.
And there is such wobbling in almost everything. It is more pleasant and more fun to look at the book of the book than at the results of foreign policy. From the outskirts of the Russian Federation thrown out, technically and cynically. Seeing the wobbling, the CSTO allies vibrate themselves. The Eurasian Economic Community is under a drip, the BRICS is amorphous and each member solves its own problems in the Western world order. China justly uses the Russian Federation as a junior resource partner, "refraining" and smiling, while in serious matters it is much closer with the West than with the Russian Federation. An attempt to squeeze Eureka into a gas tick failed along with the "streams" and ended in the RF's dependence on the sale of the same gas. Lavrov and the Foreign Ministry have no strategy, except for embedding Russia in the world order, where the rules are written by others, and the announced "pinching" for domestic use. Throwing up our caps, shouting Hurray to Lavrov, go for a pop. Just do not be surprised later when the "next Ukraine" floats away or very Central Asian refugees flood Russian cities. Also, do not be surprised if the glorious minister himself does not become a refugee somewhere in London.

Lavrov writes poetry. Putin tries himself in landscape design.
This conclusion was reached by security officers who found a sheet of paper on a table in the hotel room where our President was staying.
"Everything is not so in this zoo ... there is not enough water, pools for one shark, two will not be launched ... lakes for a flock of swans will probably be enough. The worst thing will be for polar bears. In the center, of course, there is a poplar grove. in the sea."
Obama reported: Putin plans to build a zoo in Sochi where there will be aquariums with sharks, a lake with swans, a forest with bears. Well, stupid.

It is nice to know that our minister is witty, but in real life there is nothing good - a brutal confrontation, and no gap is visible. And their words must be treated
