    “It is crazy that Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council after they grossly violated the U.N. Charter,”

    This was said by some US official…

      In an early snub, [U.S. Ambassador] Thomas-Greenfield skipped a traditional breakfast the Russians held to mark the start of their presidency April 3.

      Oh no, whatever will the Russians do? They must be so demoralized and offended that they’ll just pack up and leave Donbas and Crimea.

      By the way this is the kind of thing that these butthurt westoids are calling “trolling”. Probably hoping that no one will actually bother to listen to/read what was said because i fail to see how any rational person could disagree with any of what Lavrov said in his speech at the UN.

    I know…It’s their miserable attempt at relating to our generations…the funny thing is it still conforms to their incessant necessity to dictate to us. We younger Americans are increasingly rejecting this emotional and developmental immaturity of which the neoliberals insist on perpetuating, and this decaying of official political discourse is more of that teen-speak nonsense. It’s not reached equilibrium yet so this will likely be doll-eyed at for now but in the end they will simply be recorded expressing their degenerated nature within the history books.

      It’s my hope none of us voted for any of them in or out of power. Bourgeois electoralism is a farce, our only power is in collective class-wide political and economic action.

        Electoralism can’t secure class liberation but it’s good to virtue signal. All available levers of power should be grasped and used to secure more favorable conditions for organizing and/or class concessions imo

          I disagree. If the proletariat as a whole were in a more radical stage of development sure, but right now it would only serve to perpetuate bourgeois electoralism…plus it’s wasting efforts in a farce.

    Just when I thought our diplomats couldn’t seem any more unintelligent

      The West doesn’t really do diplomacy anymore. We mostly do bullying, bribing, virtue signaling, insulting, threatening, and using our embassies as dens of spies and staging grounds for subversive activities, fomenting color revolutions, etc.
