Fun fact, this whole took part in India, and it was the local journalists who laughed their asses off after Lavrov's speech.

[metodiusm]

He's not a clown, he's the entire circus

[scottfahdt]

He's like a South Park portrayal of a Russian diplomat....lol

[shaunster]

He’s probably trying not to be assassinated

[thejedicounciloffical]

Lavrov is more of a comedian than Zelensky was.

[mikem]

Can you imagine the level of shame he must endure daily? Even though he is complicit, he likely has little control. Pathetic.

It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :

Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;

Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;

Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;

Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;

Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;

Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;

Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;

Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";

Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;

Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;

Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;

Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;

among lots of other things to much to even list up ..


NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU, THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!

RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights

Also could add Russia's involvement in the Middle-East by assisting Syria in providing weapons for Hamas.
Russia has also had a part in various conflicts in Africa!

God bless the people for laughing. This is why dictators and Trump-Repubs only speak to hand-picked crowds of their own supporters, who won’t/can’t laugh at their absurdities or ask any scary “questions.”

[cunus]

There's laughable, and then there's downright absurd.

[nr]

This in India right? Even Russia's "friend" called B.S

[robertrazo]

You can hear someone yell out “liar” towards the end but what a great video. It really shows how diluted the politics are. 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧👍

[alexism.]

Correct. The war started with the Minsk Agreement swindle.

[michaelthomas]

Crowd should have walked out insulting😂😂

[Kimjongil.]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Here's me thinking Russia invaded Ukraine when all the time it was Ukraine invaded Russia 😆😆😆😆

[PearlRubyJasper]

There wasn't anything he said that wasn't true. Americans need an education.

[numi_yt]

I am actually Russian and most teenagers don’t like the new policy of Russia

[prajwas]

Poor chap' family is probably in Moscow. What else is he gonna say?

[ccrydertellsall]

Tell lies enough and simple minded people will believe it!

[codyfletcher]

😂😂😂😂 They are such a joke! Everything they say is freaking hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂

[jstunnz]

He takes being out of shape to a whole other meaning!
