Kerry & Lavrov Hold Joint Press Conference After "Open, Friendly, Business-Like" Meeting - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

After what we are sure was a 'productive' day's discussion, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov are set for a joint press conference... to explain how they have made-up, forgiven each other, and hugged it out (or not).

On the highest-level US visit to Russia since the conflict in Ukraine erupted in late 2013, Kerry first met with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov for four hours in the Black Sea resort of Sochi before being welcomed by Putin at his seaside summer residence.

 

The two men warmly shook hands, before sitting down with a small team of staff at a long table.

 

At "a critical moment" for Ukraine, Washington is looking to ensure the "next steps in concrete implementation" of the truce deal, as well as to "see whether they [Russia] see an opportunity to do more together" in Syria, a senior State Department official said.

 

Kerry was also set to discuss Yemen and Libya and brief Putin on the negotiations on curtailing Iran's nuclear program. He was accompanied by chief US negotiator Wendy Sherman who will travel to Vienna on Wednesday for a new round of Iran talks.

So they don't come for Russia's Victory Day parade to celebrate the global victory over Nazis, but less than 3 days later they send this big horse's heinz end to lecture Russia on Ukraine.

 

Lavrov should send some Igor to sugar the gas tank on Kerry's limo so he breaks down on the way to the airport....then let the Russian public have him.....

We should all thank Obama for surrendering his one sided Propaganda War against Russia and in particular Mr. Putin and apologize to the people of the world.

The end of this game and the final recognition of the nonsense and lies by the Fascist Kiev Regime at the instigation of the terrorist named Nuland is the result of the EU no longer willing to sit still on the Sanctions. Kiev is Bankrupt!

The Fascists in Kiev should now be charged for War Crimes in the shooting down of MH17 and the Asov Battallion disbanded for crimes against humanity.

Crimeans were smiling broadly and voted to join Russia because; The majority of people in Crimea are Russian and overwhelmingly 97% voted to join Russia, which they wanted to do even back in 1994, but the government in Kiev prevented them from doing so. Of course they didn’t want to be controlled by the illegal, U.S.-funded junta in Kiev, instituted by political organizations given five billion dollars by Washington, as revealed by “fuck the EU” Victoria Nuland. Ukraine was broke, and political parties and organizations were vastly financed by foreign nations, (US & EU) which then encouraged them to foment a coup. The junta in Kiev then illegally deposed the democratic president, and then illegally deposed all of its governors. The Crimean’s had every right to secede.

Crimea was detached from the Russian Republic in 1954 by Nikita Khrushchev after a drunken dinner party and given as a grand (but then empty) gesture to the Ukrainian Soviet Republic. Khrushchev was a Ukrainian Communist party boss who had participated in Stalin’s murder of 6-7 million Ukrainian farmers.

PUTIN – just another oligarch Jew

So, Putin’s mother Maria Ivanovna Shelomova, was JEWISH, which makes him ………………………………….

A JEW

And we in the real Truth movement are aware that we are not up against a NWO, or the Illuminati, but a Jew World Order. With International Jewry pulling all the strings.

So, can anyone explain to me why there are still some people in the Truth movement who refuse to see this glaringly obvious situation?? That these sites STILL portray this sellout to humanity as their superhero. That somehow there is a Russia/West divide. Exactly what the JMSM wants us to believe. It is quite incredible that people who claim to be politically astute cannot see what is going on.

That yet again, International Jewry are playing both sides. The blue vs the reds. Good cop bad cop routine. How simple can this be to work out??

He is just another crypto Jew, having conveniently converted to Orthodox Christianity in the 1960’s. How convenient. He is no more a Christian than Benjamin Netanyahu. He is just another conniving, manipulative, greedy, demonic, billionaire, oligarch Jew – who is deceiving us.

It is more Jewish deception. Another Jewish scam. Trickery. Lies. And very poorly disguised lies at that. It would take a 14 year old schoolboy to source this information and work the scam out in just one evening after school. Yet we have all these so-called Truth outlets in denial. Quite incredible. What’s going on?

PUTIN THE JEW IS NOT YOUR SUPERHERO

PUTIN THE JEW IS NOT GOING TO SAVE THE DAY

PUTIN THE JEW IS PLAYING HIS ROLE IN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE PLANET

HE IS A MAIN PIECE ON THE GRAND CHESS BOARD AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN

SNAP OUT OF YOUR GULLIBILITY

GROW UP

AND FACE REALITY

Smells like disinfo to me. Zio-Oligarchs never had a bigger, better foe than Vlad the NWO-impaler. Think we can be pretty sure Putin is Orthodox, and a Russian nationalist... (inevitable ''triple-agent'' talk aside). If International Jewry would just join Putin at Communion, what a wonderful wonderful world it would be.

Seems the Nazi-loving Ukes deserve the Uke jokes, as they couldnt identify their own self interest even if they saw ''Fuck the EU'' tatooed to Vicky Neulands behind. Ukraine is too stupid to live, as N.R. goes east, and the rest of that sad, debt-ridden would-be fourth-reich rump state turns to Joe Biddens son and bankrupt Europe for direction. Maybe Ukraine can take Greece's place in the Euro.

Senate votes against fast-tracking TPP

Lawmakers in the United States Senate have thrown a wrench in a plan that would have given President Barack Obama “fast track” authority to advance a 12-nation trade deal between the US and Pacific Ring partners.

In a 52-45 vote on Tuesday afternoon, the Senate opposed moving forward for now on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. A procedural vote required at least 60 “ayes” in order to let the Senate host discussions on whether or not to give the president so-called “fast track” authority on the matter. Failure to reach that threshold puts the future of the trade agreement in jeopardy.

Kerry has 'frank' talks with Putin about Ukraine, Syria

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/05/12/us-russia-usa-idUSKBN0NX0LG201...

 

Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman said Lavrov gave Kerry baskets of fresh tomatoes and potatoes, a possible allusion to Russia's decision last year to ban imports of European fruit and vegetables in response to Western sanctions.

 

He also presented Kerry with a T-shirt with "Victory" and "1945-2015", a reference to the 70th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany. Western leaders boycotted Saturday's Moscow parade to mark the occasion because of its role in the Ukraine crisis.

Kerry gave Lavrov a leather portfolio, U.S. officials said.

Washington and Moscow are also at odds over the civil war in Syria, where Russia has backed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad while the United States wants a political transition to end his family's 45-year-old rule.

  

While there have been no outward signs of a Russian reversal on Syria, U.S. officials hope recent defeats to Assad's forces may change the Russian stance.

Obama's real father is Frank Davis Marshall, a well known communist member. 

John Kerry was a fan of the North Vietnam Communist government.

Russia is now the freedom loving, low tax, clean food, Christian centric, country full of white people that hate faggots as Jesus Christ directs us to.
