I wonder if he'll be as convincing about this passenger plane he just shot down over Kazakhstan as he was when he lied about the murder of mh17 occupants?
@@GodwinGodfather Looks like you are not using your eyes. Russia started the invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and turned it into a genocidal war in 2022. Seems like you are the one that is regurgitating propaganda.
To say that Lavrov is managing the current chaos is a little exaggerated. His diplomatic skills are down to constantly lying and blatantly distorting the truth. He won't lose any sleep rejecting an agreement signed the previous day. His most remarkable skill is to have kept himself away from any windows for so long.
Perhaps he should get involved between the USA and Denmark? Denmark has just announced a huge increase in Greenland defence spending, not to deter Russia but to deter Trump.
All countries need Lavrov on their side? That would be a departure from the time honored conviction that diplomats are professional liars and are only on the side of what they perceive to be their country's or their authoritarian patron's perceived best interests. Lavrov is indeed a briliant man with an impossibly bad brief. The industrialized democracies have shut him out because both parties to a negotiation must be seen to be acting in good faith. That is why, in an extraordinary display of unity the UN General Assembly on Feb. 2, 2022 voted 141 to 5 calling for the immediate withdrawal of Russia from Ukraine; the same Russia whose diplomat had sat before them and said that any notion that Russia was about to invade Ukraine was simply not true. Trump in solving the impasse will deal directly with Putin. His experience has ingrained in him the desireability of dealing with #1 instead of #2.
Dear professor. You are a wise man, so you should know that Lavrov is nothing but a criminal - diplomat or not. He should be punished at the tribunal in The Hague and answer for his words and actions, today rather than tomorrow !!!
@@GodwinGodfather Thanks for the kind words. But NO ONE since World War II has done anything comparable to what Russia has done in Ukraine. No country is sacred and should be punished for their misdeeds, but Russia surpasses everything that was thought possible and NO ONE was threatening Russia with invasion or anything else before Ukraine war - and I think you know that's right. I wonder if you are the one who is a little brainwashed. Have a cup of polonium tea with Putin and Happy New Year 😀
@@GodwinGodfather Thanks for the kind words. Yes, other countries have done ugly things, for which they should also be punished, but NO ONE since World War II has done anything that comes close to what Russia has done in Ukraine and the UN has been in Ukraine to document that, and I think you know that's true, so maybe it's you who is a little brainwashed. Have a cup of polonium tea with the russian tzar and Happy New Year 😀
@@GodwinGodfather Now I have tried to answer you 2 times, but I am deleted. I try again: NO ONE has since WWII done to anyone what Russia has done to Ukraine. Yes US and others are not the best boys and they must be punished but they are not near what Russia has done and is still doing in this war. So I wonder if you are just a little brainwashed?? Have a cup of polonium tea with the tzar and a happy newyear 😀
It would be setting a very low bar to use Liz Truss as a comparison. However, I do think he's better compared to other Blinken and certainly better than whoever the Israeli foreign minister is, considering the disastrous diplomatic situations.
Very refreshing and also interesting to see a more diplomatic approach when speaking of Russian Diplomats because after all as mentioned in the video we do need to keep those channels open at all times and perhaps more so in War for obvious reasons.
They will still make money from investing in arms sales and regeneration programmes. Nothing like as much as planned, but the shareholders will be reasonably satisfied.
Compare Lavrov to Lammy .I rest my case .I agree with you ,Prof ,that Lavrov is a highly accomplished diplomat .No doubt he will play a huge role in negotiations with the USA.
Is that why Putin thought Lavrov was so unimportant he wasn't told about Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the beginning. Putin does not!! hold Lavrov very highly
Lavrov is on top of his brief, which is what has kept him in position for so long. Will he be remembered in a similar fashion to Molotov who wiped the floor with Von Ribbentrop before Germany invaded!
True, prof. Lavrov is probably the most brilliant ace diplomat alive. Shame that he has to serve the Putin government. It would be a plus for both sides if he is involved in the Trump initiative for peace.
Also lavrov was outside the loop around Putin that decided to invade Ukraine, Lavrov was actually against it but has been the one since then that has tried to defend the indefensible. maybe with a weakened Putin and a disastrous invasion Lavrov now has more power versus the other kremlin idiots
One should never and can never, trust Russia in any geopolitical posturing and the world, including Türkiye should not have anything to do with negotiations on anything as Russia will go back on any promises or treaties.
The other Pantomime villain and N. Korean protege is my favourite. The Ex-Pres who likes to appear in a Black Gestapo -esque leather mack spouting Nuclear threats from a tank production facility. He really is in a class of his own!
If being a serial liar is the measure of acheivement in diplomacy then Lavrov's career has been a great success. He looks tired to me. I suspect he would much rather retire to his dacha if only Putin would let him.
Russia has no right to impose its will upon any other country, and no government should impose its will on any country. Countries can influence countries through trade. Humanity should learn imperialism belongs to history. It corrupts both the imposer and those subjected to imperialism. In the end, the imperialists are rightly kicked out.
Lavrov talked of life lost and need of stopping the fight,,,then Russia takes what Russia wants ,the end game ,,,,,but he noes the crocodile is waiting,,,,,, lavrov is more dangerous to Russia.?
I agree Lavrov is brilliant, though he's rumored outside Putin's circle. As to communication, he may blame this on the West but he knows better and this serpent's tongue is spliced. And sanctions are effective; if admittedly horrid, with economic societal exacerbation consequent the crime. And Smerdyakov knows this so perhaps he needs spake the Karamazovs starting with Ivan first....
0.30 : "-post- Ukraine war". The war is over is it? What was it.....the sanctions, the ghost of Kiev, NATO wonder weapons or those pesky russkie shovels?
Putin should have further Sanctions not having sanctions removed. Can't understand your reasoning for the removal of sanctions putin will not negotiate he is only interested in the total conquest of Ukraine. And you praising lavrov well I'm sure lavrov appreciates that very much.
I wonder if he'll be as convincing about this passenger plane he just shot down over Kazakhstan as he was when he lied about the murder of mh17 occupants?
I dont think he cares. The measure is if you escape consequences
Negotiation with the current Russian regime? Those who violated every treaty? Why?
Educate yourself, find neutral news, not propaganda for anyside.
@@GodwinGodfather Looks like you are not using your eyes. Russia started the invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and turned it into a genocidal war in 2022. Seems like you are the one that is regurgitating propaganda.
How do you trust a man who almost always lies? I agree
How does one trust a liar? 🤔

Lavrov/Ribbentrop same brain…..these guys are war criminals let’s not forget please.
george bush. rudolph hess. these guys were related. lets not forget that.
maybe a war criminal but do nt underestimate his brilliance, experience and intellect
@@ProfessorTimWilson i would not describe george bush as intellectual ?
@puppets.and.muppets Depends, compared with recent US presidents I think George Bush was a poet.
Lavrov has fought for peace for decades. It is OUR greedy war pigs who are the real criminals.
Perhaps he should get involved between the USA and Denmark? Denmark has just announced a huge increase in Greenland defence spending, not to deter Russia but to deter Trump.
The alternative reading is: Trump isn't even President yet, and already Denmark is starting to take security spending seriously.
@ They shouldn’t have to defend themselves from other nato members!
Lavrov? Is that the very same guy, which once said with straight face, that Ukraine attacked them?
@@barbarahesford5061Yep. It was in India at some conference if I remember correctly.
But Lavrov is not one of the most Honest Diplomats, He has been very deceptive
That is the understatement of the year.
Unlike our western counterparts eh?

If Lavrov's words have a vowel in them, their truth is questionable.

Yes , Lavrov is a criminal along with the rest of Putin's friends . Lying is in his DNA after all he is Russian - study history dear professor
Who has punished us war in middle east, or Israel ongoing genocide in Gaza, brainwashed monk.

I have never seen or heard Lavtov spout anything other than the "official" line of lies and propoganda, deflection and transfer of 'blame'

“The secret of politics? Make a good treaty with Russia.”
― Otto von Bismarck
If your opinion of him is accurate, I truly despair !
Lavrov is certainly a very experienced clever diplomat but his job defending Putins awful regime is a waste of such a talent.
Also lavrov was outside the loop around Putin that decided to invade Ukraine, Lavrov was actually against it but has been the one since then that has tried to defend the indefensible. maybe with a weakened Putin and a disastrous invasion Lavrov now has more power versus the other kremlin idiots
The horses/nags days are numbered.

Very evil dude also. 👊🏼
brilliance ?????
Russia has no right to impose its will upon any other country, and no government should impose its will on any country. Countries can influence countries through trade.
Humanity should learn imperialism belongs to history. It corrupts both the imposer and those subjected to imperialism. In the end, the imperialists are rightly kicked out.
Tell that to Israel and us.
Negotiating with this lying idiot would be a BIG mistake. I do hope that Zelenskyy would not be taken in by such a preposterous approach.

Can't understand your reasoning for the removal of sanctions putin will not negotiate he is only interested in the total conquest of Ukraine.
And you praising lavrov well I'm sure lavrov appreciates that very much.
