  1. I watched the entire segment and it really shows what a despicable charcter Lavrov is.

    But sadly also the host was very weak.

  2. I don’t remember that anyone in Europe would just literally laugh to their faces in response to all the BS they were saying for many years.

    Must be very sobering for Lavrov.

  3. They learned very effectively from the Chinese Government.

    They know they’re lying. We know they’re lying. They know we know they’re lying. They don’t care.

  4. He will end without a job soon, might as well launch his stand up comedy career! He’s good, first joke was a hit, the laughter was undeniable.

  5. The problem with this Russian narrative of historic Russian territory can lead to some rather uncomfortable counterclaims from countries that Russia took land from in the past.
    Finland got a solid chunk taken from it. Islands north of Japan is disputed.
    but compared to China!!! Outer Manchuria is an Ukrainian sized territory where the major Russian cities to the pacific is located. Since Russia shits on all previous agreements and treaties regarding Ukraine, then why should China honor any agreements with Russia?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchuria

  6. For those who didn’t watch the video (you should, it’s really hilarious), it’s worth noting that it happened in Delhi.

  7. From reporters Rebecca Cohen and John Haltiwanger, “Sergey Lavrov, Russia’s top diplomat and a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a conference in India Thursday said that the war in Ukraine “was launched against us,” prompting the crowd to erupt in laughter.

    Lavrov was a speaker at India’s G20 Summit in New Delhi, leading a session that was part of a “Raisina Dialogue 2023” series. He was in discussion with Sunjoy Joshi, Chairman of the Observer Research Foundation in India, and took questions from the audience.

    One audience member asked Lavrov: “How the war has affected Russia’s strategy on energy, and will it mark a privilege toward Asia? And if it does, how is India going to feature in it?”

    “You know, the war, which we are trying to stop, which was launched against us, using the…” Lavrov began, before being cut off by loud laughter from the crowd. “

  8. Yes, it’s true. The war started against them after they invaded a sovereign country.

    “Why do you beat me after I slapped you? Why won’t you take it?”
