John Kerry Still Waiting For Call-Back From Russia On The North Korean Nuclear Test


Dweeb

Barack Obama and John Kerry are such lightweights, Russia doesn't even see fit to call them back these days.

Fucking pathetic.

Following Monday night’s nuclear test in North Korea, newly installed secretary of state John Kerry placed calls to get in touch with his counterparts from the key regional powers. 
That night, according to the State Department, he spoke with the foreign ministers of South Korea, China, and Japan. But one key player didn’t deign to get back to JFK: Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov. Russia has publicly condemned the test, calling for Pyongyang to halt its nuclear program and abide by the terms of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, but they apparently don’t feel like discussing these objections with the U.S. 
On Wednesday, one reporter suggested that it seems Kerry has been “frantically trying to call Foreign Minister Lavrov,” but State’s press secretary retorted, “There’s been nothing frantic about it. He reached out to Foreign Minister Lavrov yesterday [and] made it clear that he’s ready to talk whenever Foreign Minister Lavrov has the time.”  
One reporter pointed out to press Secretary Victoria Nuland on Tuesday, after it was revealed that Kerry hadn’t spoken to Lavrov, that it’s “funny how Foreign Minister Lavrov always seems to be traveling and unavailable when the secretary of state of the United States wants to make an urgent phone call to him.” Nuland explained that “our understanding is he’s traveling in Africa,” but she noted that he had “made a quite strong public statement” condemning the test and calling for North Korea to abandon their illegal nuclear program.

Yes, but he's REALLY REALLY serious.

Putin, please take note.
Can you imagine the laughter in the Kremlin?
In Pyongyang?
In Qom and Teheran?
In Beijing?
In Cairo?
In Tunis?

The worry in Tokyo, Taipei, Jerusalem, Amman, New Delhi?

The shrugs of descent in Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Oslo?

The smirks in Ankara and Baghdad?

We only lack a Church Committee to make this 1976

And THERE IS NO REAGAN I CAN IDENTIFY .... yet ... to correct what is coming ... not just for the USA but this world.
