...by talking bad to the press about his Russian counterpart and even blaming Europe for his own failures.
What the hell is Kerry doing?
The Europeans share some of the blame for exacerbating the tensions inside Ukraine which has made his job harder, according to Kerry’s version of events. Kerry expressed anger and despair at Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The Secretary of State accused his Russian counterpart of lying to him about Russia’s willingness to abide by an international agreement to de-escalate the Ukraine crisis.Kerry acts like he's a Democrat running against Russia's Foreign Minister rather than attempting to work with him for solutions. How can Kerry expect Sergei Lavrov to work with him in the future when he calls him a liar and thug to the media and the public?
“Right now there is not a negotiation; there is a confrontation. I’m sad to report I’ve never seen such a complete, miserable, unaccountable, disgraceful walk away from a set of promises and understandings than what has taken place,” Kerry said. “I’ve had six conversations with Lavrov in the last weeks. The last one was Kafka-esque, it was other planet, it was just bizarre. Nobody is better at telling you that red is blue and black is white… That’s what we are dealing with.” “This is insulting to everybody’s intelligence, let alone to our notions about how we ought to be behaving in the 21st century. It’s thuggism, it’s rogue state-ism. It’s the worst order of behavior.”
What the hell is Kerry doing?
