U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned countries from Europe and beyond on Thursday to beware of an increasing “danger of authoritarian populism.”
Kerry spoke at a meeting in Hamburg of foreign ministers from the 57-nation Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The group, chaired by Germany this year, includes European Union countries, the U.S., Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Central Asian nations and others.
In “too many places” in the OSCE region, he said, there has been “a rise of authoritarian thinking, accompanied by backsliding on human rights, restrictions on independent media, a spike in acts of intolerance and hate crimes,” Kerry said. …

Effing idiot. Talk about out of touch.
Secretary Swift Boat’s somber words of warning...
No one’s listening John, sorry.
Dimwit
Who?
Ribbons, medals...Gengis Kahn - John everyone is on to your BS, please learn to just STFU.
Can we hand this guy in a public square? Afterall, it’s the authoritarian populist thing to do.
hang him,.too!
You guys said in a few words and a single picture, exactly what needs to be said. It is SO obvious . . . if only you eyes to see. Isn’t there an old story somewhere about a “log in one’s own eye?”
Thanks.

“authoritarian populism.”
But we should all bow down to his authoritarian unpopulism.
Words can’t describe the contempt for these elitist snobs
Thank God this traitor was never President
Believe it or not, John - there are some people left in this world who do not cotton to having their heads separated from their bodies. Intolerance? HA! If the rest of you don’t mind, be our guests! You’ll never be missed.
Authoritarian elitism being so much more fun.
Rich coming from Heinz Kerry who looks at the Little People as beneath him.
In Italy, voters massively rejected a leftist authoritarian project to have the government run on time.
Kerry thinks populism is “authoritarian?” The true authoritarians in Europe are the EuSSR globalists seeking to abolish the European nation-state through undemocratic dilktat from Brussels.
No one elected them. People want to get rid of liberal technocrats running their lives. John F*ckin’- just STFU and go away.
No one cares what you think of us.
Yes, it’s important to maintain authoritarian oligarchy.
“Secretary Swift Boat’s somber words of warning...”
I would despise Kerry on this alone, but IMHO he is a class A traitor to the USA.
“authoritarian populism”
Populism is the authority of the voter, which is definitely NOT where Kerry thinks it should lie.
Note the pejorative “authoritarian”. People should only submit to the real authorities, the elites, such as himself. Got it?
