thats just unfair. Mr.Lavrov is too good.

He owns every "tricky" question Mr.Rose asks. If Mr. Lavrov wasn't that humble, he could have stressed every conclusion they come with after his reasoning and highlight that a "popular point of view" represented by Mr.Rose is completely inconsistent.

Still the show is a joy to watch, thank you for what you do.

@Colongo For someone preaching respect it is surprising how little you afford Mr. Rose. Look in the mirror first before you start criticizing others.

lenantik  09/29/2012 01:40 PM Report

The tone, disposition and comments of Foreign Minister Lavrov should be contemplated. His rational approach should be emulated rather than criticized. Although I am generally a great admirer of your content and enthusiasm Mr. Rose, this was unfortunately not your finest moment. Engaging Mr. Lavrov and expanding on his ideas seems a bit more enlightening than some wince-worthy gotcha moments. Please enjoy your weekend. I will continue to appreciate your program.

SouthAmerica: You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that Israel and the Israeli people have a major problem regarding its crazy, insane, lunatic, trigger happy and warmonger Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nethanyahu.

That raving lunatic does not know the difference between his cute drawing that he made with his crayons that he showed to the world – you can see by his drawing that he has been watching too many cartoons.

In his mentally insane world this is his reality:

By the way, this insane, and lunatic person might decide to drop one of Israel's ThermoNuclear warheads on one of his neighbours.

For the last 20 years this mental case has been babbling the same old non-sense: “in about 6 or 7 months Iran will build a nuke.”

The New York Times, I guess the newspaper had nothing better of substance to put on the front page of the newspaper on Friday, other than a picture of this mental case (Benjamin Nethanyahu) holding his cute little drawing of a cartoon type of bomb - maybe The New York Times was trying to scare the kids in the United States, since the American kids also recognize and have seen that type of bomb in action on the “Tom & Jerry” show and also Wile E. Coyote on the “Road Runner” show.

I know has been 20 years that this raving lunatic is saying that Iran is 6 to 7 months away from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Please at least someone in Israel do us all a favor and show to this lunatic what a real nuclear weapon looks like instead of the “Tom and Jerry” bomb that scared a hell out of him.

He mentioned "not cheating" repeatedly.

One hopes this is not his tell in poker or his Freudian slip.

Charlie says that most of the world thinks Assad should go, he is beyond the pale, other countries looking to the future of Syria.

Sergey's answer is that this is not about following the crowd. War Crimes in Syria are by both parties. “I only said what I said” atrocities that can be considered war crimes. What is important is to not allow this crisis to degenerate into a sectarian war—Sunnis, Shia, Christians, Alawites.

Yes, we don't seem to hear about the atrocities from the other side.

Yes, the fear of the sectarian war is what we also hear from Iran.

However, let's pretend it is a pregnancy and the mother (Syria) will bleed out unless we get the baby (resolution) delivered. Could Russia then find a way to move forward rather than sit and worry until both mother and child dies?

CDcaritas  09/28/2012 11:47 PM Report

Gelles "America stands for a good outcome for ordinary Syrians -- and Russia wants America and all nations to mind their own business."

Perhaps this is true, but perhaps the "good outcome" doesn't necessarily mean Assad must go, and perhaps a "good outcome" doesn't require Qatar, KSA, NATO, etc. funding FSA who target civilians, use them as shields, threaten and carry out murder, rape of neighborhoods where the police and citizens are required to defect, or be killed.

As Lavrov said, US media likes to call Assad a butcher. Well , is the Free Syrian Army made up of men of principles? Does anyone really believe this to be the case?

CDcaritas  09/28/2012 11:39 PM Report

Lavrov definitely held his own in this interview. "Wrong side of history"? It's always ironic when an American tells a Russian what their gov't is doing wrong re: foreign policy, as if Vietnam and Iraq never happened...

The insane, lunatic and warmongering Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nethanyahu have been “crying wolf” to the world for the last 7 years that Iran is only six or seven months away from most of the fuel they need to build a small nuclear weapon - it turned out he has actually been "Crying Wolf" for the last 20 years.

For the last 20 years Nethanyahu have been saying on a regular basis that in 6 to 7 months Iran will have a nuke.

Anyway, here is the first intelligent conversation that I have seen on the mainstream media about Israel, the Zionists, and its relation to the United States:

CrossTalk: Bibi's Bomb – September 28, 2012

Is there a fog of war? After years of threat, will Israel attack Iran? And is Iran really a danger to Israel? What role will the US play in this? Is Netanyahu terrified of Iran? And how will the US-Israeli relations evolve? CrossTalking with Miko Peled and Gideon Levy.

By the way, the insane, lunatic and warmongering Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nethanyahu is already studying very closely the following material to get some new ideas for him to use at his next UN General Assembly meeting:

The second part of Netanyahu's UN presentation it was more effective and it was a real success; when he showed at the UN a set of more realistic visual effects to back up his point of view regarding Iran as follows:

Prime Minister Netanyahu said to the UN General Assembly here you can see the real threat to Israel from Iran

Charlie, this says 26,000 dead in Syria:

Look at Mexico while you are at it: 55,000 dead.

And Afghanistan: 3,000,000 dead.

Seems like you might have asked him what Russia thinks we ought to do in these two countries.

Russia and China support legitimate government, while the US and EU support terrorists in Syria who kill children and civilians. Russian politicians have been repeating over and over again that BOTH sides must stop using violence in the country, but the US and EU ask only Assad to do it, because they support the opposite criminal side and want to do what they did in Iraq, Lybia, Egypt. Russia is for a stable world, while the US and EU are for the world for them. BUT they should remember WHOSE SIDE THE TRUTH STAY AT, THAT IS STRONGER.

America stands for a good outcome for ordinary Syrians -- and Russia wants America and all nations to mind their own business.

Who's right? Are sovereign nations more like individual people who want to do as they please?

Or, are they more like regions whose results can easily spill over onto neighbors and other places -- and invite such outsiders to treat them like a disease and cure them before they infect the many nations on earth?

So whose right? Russian enablers of murder by the Syrian

sovereign irresponsible rulers? Or Obama and me?

REMant  09/26/2012 01:09 PM Report

Befitting, I suppose, a man running for office, the president didn't mind talking out of both sides of his mouth at the UN yesterday (altho I'm beginning to think they teach it at Harvard). Remarking, for instance, that we must conquer extremism and stand up for freedom, but that extremism in the name of freedom is no vice, to borrow from Goldwater. That toleration and self-determination are universal values, but many societies cannot be tolerated. That "tradition and faith" must be reconciled with "the diversity and interdependence of the modern world" and "tensions between the West and the Arab world that is moving towards democracy" addressed. (Which reminds one of his 2008 comments regarding guns and religion). That while we believe in the right to free speech even when it is "hateful speech," those who hate must be "marginalized...for that only gives cover and sometimes makes an excuse for those who do resort to violence." That Europe is free and united not because it learned lessons the hard way, but because "it made the right choices," i.e., learned which side its bread was buttered on. That Syria must be similarly "united and inclusive" so children "don't need to fear their own government" nor NGOs fear "working in a country where its people are endangered" nor, I'd guess, the Halliburton's and Citigroup's of this world, for it is the way Obama "organized" communities in South Side Chicago. But, as the song goes, nobody knows you, when you're down and out... On that subject, if RT is any sign, Russia is no more happy with the policies being pursued by the Fed, British, and ECB than The John Birch Society is. Tho I suppose the two are "terrorists" for not believing in the beneficence of largess.

Mr Rose is such a laughable Whig moralist. An "is" cannot be an "ought;" and an "ought" may or may not turn out to be an "is." Russia, he admonishes is "on the wrong side of history." Yesterday he hectored Pres Morsi over whether he is with us or agin us, taking offense I guess at the latter's comment published last weekend in the NYT that "successive American administrations essentially purchased with American taxpayer money the dislike, if not the hatred, of the peoples of the region."

I have little doubt that Obama would much rather be president of the United Nations than president of his country. However, I really think the United Nations has become a liability, and so far from facilitating world peace constitutes an increasing threat to it.

No matter how ppl feel about the fighting in Syria, I don't think a national government is likely to replace the current regime anymore than I believe Zionists and Palestinians are going to agree to a "two-state" solution. And I doubt there's anyone who can be called a Syrian, anymore than a Czechoslovakian, except perhaps the pan-Arabs, and one wonders just what part they play in this. The question IS bigger than just a civil war in a former French mandate, even, in fact, than the idea that the civil war in this country was about slavery. And the president unquestionably views history not through the lens of the American Revolution, but of that war.

I'm afraid I agree with Mr Lavrov that the US and its "allies" are "about the regime change" not about tolerance or self-determination. Worse, that among those "allies" are ppl who not only have substantive religious differences, but who are also competitors in the energy business. Which, of course, also affects Russia's economic viability no matter how much it would like to keep Muslim "extremists" on the other side of its borders.
