Kerry Meets Putin For The First Time In 2 Years As Russia And China Launch First Ever Joint Naval Drill
Today, for the first time in 2 years, after visiting Saudi Arabia last week, John Kerry met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the highest-level U.S. visit in two years, and certainly since the start of the Ukraine presidential coup which has since devolved into a civil war.
According to the WSJ, the top U.S. diplomat "planned to urge Mr. Putin to abide by a Ukraine cease-fire agreement reached in February and reiterate the U.S. pledge to roll back sanctions if Russia is found to be in full compliance, a senior administration official said."
That's not all: Kerry also intends to push for a bid to force Syria’s leader from power, nuclear talks with Iran, strife in Yemen and the fragmentation of Libya, officials said. Kerry also will raise the U.S. opposition to Russia’s sale to Iran of a powerful air defense system.
So yeah, quite a lot on the Ketchup quasi heir's plate, and yet somehow we doubt that Russian strategy will change about any of the abovementioned items by even the slightest bit.
As the WSJ adds, ahead of Mr. Kerry’s meeting with Mr. Putin, he met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for over four hours at a hotel in the Black Sea resort town of Sochi. They likely discussed more of the same, or rather Kerry was talking and Lavrov was listening.
The two are shown in the photo below, in which Kerry presents his Russian counterpart with two Idaho potatoes during a meeting in Paris last year.
So after Kerry lays out all US demands to Putin, Kerry sid he wants to keep communication with Russia open. Which is good, because we are confident Russia will have a counter demand or two of its own.
“There is a question now whether this might not be a better moment” for a visit with Mr. Putin, the senior administration official said, briefing reporters on the visit. “We obviously wanted to make sure that if he was going to make the trip he’d get a chance to talk to the main decision maker.”
After Sochi, Mr. Kerry heads to Antalya, Turkey, for a Wednesday meeting with foreign ministers of North Atlantic Treaty Organization nations. Mr. Kerry will also meet with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
Shortly after his arrival in Sochi, Mr. Kerry and Mr. Lavrov participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Zavokzalny war memorial, dedicated to more than 2,000 Russian soldiers who died from wounds in Sochi hospitals during World War II.
Then again considering China's president sat next to Putin during the May 9 military parade...
... a parade in which Chinese soldiers participated and which was boycotted by all western leaders and, there is little doubt whether the US fake attempt celebrate Russia's defeat of Nazi Germany is either too little or too late.
And speaking of China and Russia, it is hardly a coincidence that the day Putin granted Kerry an audience is also the day when the two superpowers launched their first every joint naval war games, curiously, in the Mediterranean Sea where neither has either an inch of coastline, something the overly defensive LA Times dubbed an "unlikely and provocative."
Which is precisely why the two nations picked it.
The 10 days of maneuvers that got underway Monday will include live-fire exercises in the strategic sea connecting Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The point is lost on no one: A powerful new alliance of eastern giants is flexing its muscles in the very backyard of Western Europe — much as China has done on its own in the Pacific.
The war games follow Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow, where he headlined Victory Day celebrations and spent three days making billion-dollar deals with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Russia’s World War II allies mostly stayed away.
China's take on the event is far less dramatic than that of the US media outlet. Here is Xinhua:
Chinese and Russian naval forces on Monday launched joint military exercises in the southern Russian port city of Novorossiysk.
Military officials from both sides attended a ceremony to mark the beginning of the "Joint Sea-2015" drills, the fourth since joint China-Russia sea drills began in 2012.
The drills, slated for May 11-21 in the Mediterranean and involving nine surface ships from both navies, are to be staged in four phases, focusing on maritime defense, replenishment and escorting.
The two sides will prepare detailed arrangements for the drills later in the day, and the ships are expected to leave Novorossiysk for waters in the Mediterranean on Tuesday.
"The joint drills are not aimed at any third party and have nothing to do with the political situation in that region," a Russian Defense Ministry spokesman said.
Geng Yansheng, a spokesman for the Chinese Defense Ministry, said earlier in the day that the drills will deepen friendly and pragmatic cooperation between China and Russia, and boost response operation capabilities in the event of security threats at sea.
Back to the western version of things:
“People who call this an axis of convenience ... are missing the bigger picture,” said Gilbert Rozman, a Princeton University professor who writes and teaches on Northeast Asian affairs. “This is a relationship about national identity and the big efforts in both countries to establish a different kind of international order.”
Considering the total collapse of America's attempt to boycott the expansion of China's AIIB, so far they are doing a damn good job. And the US propaganda punchline:
Russia favors a more bipolar relationship with China, Rozman said, while Beijing appears to prefer simultaneously keeping up the momentum in improving ties with the United States in a “triangular” foreign policy model.
Well, that's one version of things. And then there is this: "Main China Daily Xinhua Pens Epic Anti-US Tirade, Bashes America As Source Of All Global Financial Ills."
In conclusion here are some photos of the first ever joint naval drill between China and Russia, not China and the US.

Us telling RUSSIA to abide by the Ukraine cease-fire agreement?? Really?
You just abso-fucking-lutely CAN'T make this shit up!
We are so fucking corrupt, insane, morally bankrupt and dangerous!
What do you propose to do about credit after we go to this World Bank endorsed gold standard?
You're fine with the Fed still bailing the banks with its counterfeiting scheme?

That look in Putin's face is just priceless... (Haha we got you by the balls & YOU KNOW THIS MAN!)
"You horse faced motherfucker, you wanted to give two potatoes for the Ukraine?"
@ Silky,
Potatoes? I thought they were a couple of parting gift dildoes for Barry & Reggie to have fun with.

Putin's reaction to lying imbeciles

The final look on the face of that pompous prick (0:29) inteviewing Putin is absolutely priceless.
This little thing we have called the internet makes it very difficult to govern today.
- Horseface
"Governing" obviously means misleading, propagandizing, fooling, and steering public opinion. Damn you Al Gore for inventing the internet!!!
Also, Kerry went to see Putin, Putin didn't come to see Kerry. That major fact is not lost on me.
Putin: I love riding horses
Kerry: What's that supposed to mean??
LOL!
....new keeboard....
Not us.
Them.
I am not sure if I really like Putin or just have a visceral hatred of the evil scum in the West like Kerry-Kohn, Bushes, Clintons, the Democrats, NeoCon Replicants, TV, Hollywood, Obola the Kenyan, the EU-SSR scum run by Haifa like Amerika.
Putin better stand with the Syrian people and also Lugansk (LPR) and Donetsk (DPR).
Putincize!!

Putin: "This is RUSSIA"
You gotta wonder if US officials say the same submoronic shit to Putin and his minions that they say to us. I mean, imagine the look on the DefMin of Russia's face if Kerry said something like "Get out of Ukraine." They would understand beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were talking with an imbecile.
"They would understand beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were talking with an imbecile.
They know they are talking to psychopaths and their minions. They know that Washington is insane and dangerous. Trust me they know.
I don't understand how Putin has the tact to keep his response limited to a lurid grin.
Judo versus golf. Chess versus checkers.
Yeah, this should go well..
By all means, send the lit match into the gas vapors... What could possibly go wrong???
"In a show of good will, President Putin presented Secretary Wilbur with an apple grown in Russia..."

"I'll show YOU a dick-tater..."
What an embarrassing baffoon, Hey moron you got some Ketchup on them Taters Horseface?
Putin's face in pic with Kerry was full of strain and false face (ala Hillary).
While Putin's face with Chinese leader was noticeably releaxed, indicating a very comfortable relationship -
Not good -
China can be trusted, USA is never to be trusted. back stabbing cocksuckers. Thats why Putins face is strained.
Having to be polite to murderous lying psycopathic dickheads (any US rep) would be a strain for any normal person.
As an American, this is embarrassing.
dont claim allegience to or identify yourself with anything that does not represent you and your best interest....
Geography, my friend, geography.
autonomy my friend...
consider yourself a member of the global community of peoples who try very hard to be decent as i do...
just sayin.....
wait til the Kite Sailing Summit.....and then they can rehydrate with some Brawndo....it has electrolytes.
Agreed, deeply humiliating, but they shouldn't have boxed themselves in like this with stupid pollcies. The roubles up, Russian exports are up, oils up, the sanctions are having minimal effect, Ukraine's right wing idiots are destroying their own economy, Russias not anything like isolated, in fact the sanctions have helped Russia bring inflation underlying control and sparked the drive for wider industrial expansion. Obama sends his muppet to extend the olive branch. The US has to learn that it can never destroy Russia, it should learn to live and work with her.
The internal Russian economy has replaced a lot of imports. For strategic reasons, that position will not be undone.

Be proud of yourself for the personal morality you uphold and your courage to express it with your fellow man. That is the least that can be expected of anybody. You do not have to be any more patriotic than that.
You do not have to be embarrassed as an American, I reckon. Take strength in the fact that America is filled with people from all parts of the world. For better of for worse, your geography holds a vast mix of peoples who intend to get along independent of race or creed.
I am not an American. What little experiece I have had with your geography has always been positive. Keep your head up high. Do not let anybody throw your baby out and force you to drink the bathwater.
Nice pictures.
The grin on Putin's face suggests: 'Sucks to grovel, doesn't it...?'
Who left the stable door open?
Vlad's a real outdoorsmen, I hear he changed Kerry's shoes himself, and then, vaulting up on the secretary's back, clop clopped around Red Square to show off the new mare.
You HAVE TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME.
Priceless...Fast forward to today... Lavrov gave Kerry a basket of potatoes and a second basket of tomatoes this time around.
No oats?
and the kicker: it was a monsanto potato
A despairing cries of thousands of Latvians echo around the Baltics.
Putin to Kerry ''Thanks for coming , John. But we have decided to divorce ourselves from the West and plan on having a BRICS currency. Hope you understand.. ''Have a nice day , and run along now''
"take your flunkie and dangle..."
Putin to Kerry: "My dear Mr. Kerry... and you do realize that your political masters in Tel Aviv are in the AIIB, whereas you -- their servile lackeys -- are not? What has happened to that great nation of yours, to that shining beacon of Freedom & Hope on the Hill? Heaven help you."
Putin to Kerry ''Why the long face, John''?
Too much Horseradish.

How could any world leader take Kerry seriously?
He is a lying sack of s&%t just like all of Congress.

Amazing how Europe and Americans are supporting Swastika waving nuts in Kiev who shot down MH17,
I have let the Dutch govt know that they are a pitiful bunch of suckasses , being blackmailed by the USA to shut up about the FACTs of MH17.
Putin to Kerry ''So how is your Mulatto Monkey DicTASTOR doing?
John "The Liar" Kerry
One of hundreds in US govt.
It must be just plain painful to sit at a table and listen to the bloviating buffoon Lurch Kerry.
Knowing that he is a spinless prick that likes to hear himself speak!
I would feel more comfortable if we sent Gob Bluth.
"Putin who'd met Kerry previously over the decades was alarmed and disturbed at the sight of Kerry and asked the FSB to confirm his identity before meeting"

Vlad to Kerry
''I had 2 bucks on you in the Derby, EXACTA with you and McCain. What happened?
You know, I actually think it is too late. The US is arming the Ukrainians; we are unleashing ISIS upon the world; we are getting ready to start a nuclear arms race in the Middle East; and just for shits and giggles we will crash the world economy shortly after October 2015. Here at home we are rolling out SOCOM to lay the ground work with the police/FBI and every police department in every major city is Kitted out better than your average infantry soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan in terms of fire power: 45./.40 cal handgun(s), hollow point ammo (not allowed in combat under Geneve), taser, M4 or MP5 + better body armor + better light armored vehicles + better comms + they get to sleep in bed/fuck wife/see kids….so back home DHS et al are tooled up and ready to go.
At this point, the world is just waiting for the match to light the tinder. People are animals. An unused weapon is a useless weapon. We like to fight. It’s our original sin.
No one gets out of here alive.
Good luck with that shit. How many guns sold per year over the past 6 years of Obola? About 15 million a year. This is guns bought by a people who already probably had 300 millions guns plus 75 million more.

Total USA 14.6 million. Note they paid for a licensed. I be many have .308 scoped rifles too.

We come into this world kicking, screaming, and covered in someone else's blood.
Why not go out the same way?
Tell you what, Vlad.
You let me fuck your wife and we won't do a Shock and Awe on Moscow.
Deal??
You don't have wife? Well you can fuck mine.
It's more like "hey Uncle Sam, fuck us in the ass... just because"
But thats what happens when you confuse matriarchy with feminism and metrosexuality. Should've taken notes from native americans, not conquer them. They had their shit wired, except for the mistake of trusting you europeans.

Thanks for attending our Victory day over the Nazis.
What? you weren't there?
I swore I saw you pulling one the carriages.
"the top U.S. diplomat "planned to urge Mr. Putin to abide by a Ukraine cease-fire agreement reached in February"
Maybe Kerry would have better luck urging Mr. Poroshenko to abide by the cease-fire agreement. Miracles could happen.
This is how fucking brainwashed even the TOP DIPLOMAT is. Russia is and has NOT been the aggressor,.
What is sick is most Americans believe the crap that Russia is the aggressor.
Even with modern day communications they are still brainwashed worse than in the 30;s.
WTF???
Just TODAY - the criminal Kiev Junta voted to allow foreign troops in the Ukraine Army
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXB1dikLKEE
Beacuse most Ukrainian men do not want to fight for those dual shit-i-ZEN-ZOG criminals in Kiev.
A rock band in Novo Russia should do a song about the summer and let's have another cauldron. Sort of like a summer beach song meets a war song. The Beach Boys meet Rammstein.
America is fully aware that the way to draw Russia into a conflict is to push forward towards Russia’s borders. In time, Russia will be forced to defend its right to exist, and when this happens, western powers will not know what hit them
American politicians in particular and European politicians in general are some of the most ignorant fools when the issue comes to anything outside their own borders. When it comes to Russia, it is an engima wrapped in a mystery… but only because, dear readers, no one has every bothered to try to understand Russians and the Russian world view.
http://russia-insider.com/en/2015/03/22/4790
What would the USA do if someone was threatening them on their border day and night?
Probably roll over, and be collaborators.
Russians aren't like that, they love their country.
Kerry said, either you stop your invading Ukraine or we send over our LGBT Nazis and show you what real living and life is all about.
Our favorite Latvian troll, Newsoutlet, probably got a boner over those potatoes
Putin to Kerry.
We want to thank you for the sanctions. Our farmers are now ramping up production of local grown fruit orchards and more businesses are starting up making products for our own consumption.
Without your sanctions everyone would have just kept trading with Europe. Soon we won't need German products because our partner China said they can produce what we need.
Soon they will all be millionaires...
Million ruble aires.
That's about $40,000.
Not so much.
The look on Putin's face says it all in the pic at the top:
' If you didn't have just a vaggie between your legs I'd do a kangaroo move on you....grab two fists of horsehead hair and kick you in the groin to make you winnie until you're blue-faced!'
Do you think Kerry is smart enough to figger out how close he came to disaster?
Putin to Kerry
Did you know Russia spans 9 time zones?
Do you know the Lake Baikal is the deepest fresh water lake on earth?>
I could arrange for you to try on some cement shoes and have you discover Lake Baikal if you keep threatening to attack us.
That lake has been poisoned by local paper production.
Kerry was missing his neocon,nazi supporting buddy Victoria Nuland.I wonder if she's done enough damage to U.S. foreign policy to spoil the next election for the Democrats.
Kerry to Putin
Do you know we have the largest most powerful military on earth?

So? If you feel froggy, JUMP!! WE can help take care of your ghettos in all major cities with some well placed Topol-M

"joint naval war games, curiously, in the Mediterranean Sea where neither has either an inch of coastline"
Just plagiarized statement that in original goes like this: Russia is a Baltic state and US is not. Just wondering, how many inches of coastline US has in China sea?
he met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for over four hours at a hotel in the Black Sea resort town of Sochi
LOL, did the US barely avoid to have the meeting taking place on the Krim!
You have to wonder if Obama and Kerry work for Putin.
"The two are shown in the photo below, in which Kerry presents his Russian counterpart with two Idaho potatoes during a meeting in Paris last year."
The dreaded Monsatan Spud trick again!

Kerry is ordering up a glass-bottomed boat...
So he can review the Russo-Chinese naval exercises.
