US Secretary of State Adivses Russian Counterpart Not To Take US President's Words At Face Value
Though it went entirely unnoticed in the Western press, all major Russian news outlets – RIA Novosti, Sputnik, RT, and others – were only too happy to report on what US Secretary of State John Kerry said last week to the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in private: “Just ignore Obama’s statements.”
According to Mr. Lavrov, John Kerry advised him not to pay too much attention to the US President’s harsh rhetoric directed toward his state. As recently as September, during his speech to the 69th UN General Assembly in New York, Mr. Obama puzzled and shocked Mr. Lavrov by placing “Russian aggression in Europe” in second place among the world’s threats, behind only the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, resigning to third place the “brutality of terrorists in Syria and Iraq.” “Aggressive Russia” again was included in Mr. Obama’s world top-danger list during November’s G20 Summit in Australia.

Tomorrow's New York Times headline:
Secretry of State Kerry to resign so he can "spend more time with his Family"
What a strong leader he is. sarc >>>>>>
“Obama is just Grubering the American people — don’t pay any attention to what he says.”
You just can’t make this S___ up. What a clown car!!!!
I have a feeling there is a lot of this sort of thing going on in the “transparent” administration.
Maybe Kerry’s playing the “I love Commies’ more that Obama loves Commies... Pick ME ME ME for your prom date... please please please...
LOL.
Putin for sure, and pretty much all of the rest of the world too, learned to ignore O years ago (too many lies, why listen?)
Wow. Remember when Obama said he would have a lot more freedom to work things out with the Russians after the 2012 elections....
and now Kerry says don’t listen to Obama.
Would some grown-ups please take over the foreign affairs of the United States?
I couldn’t ignore him more if I tried.
This did not go “unnoticed” in the News Cartel. It was intentionally suppressed by them to cover for their boy.
Ignore Obama. good advice.
“Just ignore Obama’s statements.”
Smartest thing Kerry ever said.
Or is it? Could be russian propaganda.
Mental check that for future reference.
This is nothing new - everyone from Putin to Netanyahu knew to ignore Obama years ago.
Good advice.
But they were already doing that anyway.......................
I would measure my job tenure in minutes if not seconds if I said ignore anything my boss said because he’s an idiot.
If we only COULD!
Remember, Kerry married his retirement program. No need to worry about where his next Lobster dinner is coming from. Besides Kerry,(who served in Vietnam) also demonstrated long ago that he sides with the Communists.
Putin can’t ignore Obola I. The price of oil is $25/BBL lower than what Putin absolutely requires to sustain Russia economically.
Putin is acting out like a spoiled 8 year old because he’s signaling that he’s going to preside over the second collapse of Russia.
That doesn’t mean you have to appease Putin, but it damn sure means you need to be prepared diplomatically and militarily to deal with that.
People are still to stupid to realize that an inflated gallon of gas is what has been propping up the Saudis, Russian, Venezuelans, Iranians, and Mexicans for a long time.
Putin had the investment capital, they had marquee businesses, etc. He blew all that up by jailing rich people and taking their companies away from them.
Who’s going to invest a penny, yen, or shekel in Russia now?
