Two of my colleagues at PJ Media saw that headline and both DM’d me, saying, “He’s not wrong.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is a survivor. In the cutthroat world created by Vladimir Putin, he has outlasted several other close advisors to the Russian president, largely because he keeps a low profile and never tries to show up the boss. This has made him the longest-serving foreign minister in Russia’s history.
He’s also a plain-spoken Georgian who never misses a chance to bash the United States and the West. He shares the view with Putin that the Soviet empire collapsed because of the machinations of the U.S., not because of any flaw in the Soviet System.
Yesterday at the UN, Lavrov showed why Putin puts his trust in him.
