JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: IN PRAISE OF RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTER SERGEY LAVROV - HOW RUSSIA IS BLESSED WITH LEADERSHIP IN THESE DANGEROUS TIMES

COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY MIKE WHITNEY IN THE UNZ REVIEW


“Lavrov at Munich: the Lone Voice for Peace”


Lavrov is simply one of the finest Foreign Ministers we’ve seen.

He is tireless in the pursuit of reason and cooperation and human decency in international affairs.

The contrast with the Land of Liberty’s Mike Pompeo just couldn’t be starker. Pompeo is a grotesque figure with all the legendary attributes of a gangster.

And Lavrov works for the most gifted statesman of our era, Vladimir Putin.

Russia really has been blessed because the US has made these very perilous times, not just for its so-called “adversaries,” but for all its friends and allies.
