Russia the Peacemaker v/s the senseless war machine in Washington


Normal peace-loving people are unable to make sense of the doomsday policies that the USA churns out on a daily basis. The exact opposite is the case with Russia.

Lavrov said,

I hope I would not fail anyone by saying some of our counterparts, members of the coalition, say they sometimes have information about where, at which positions are the IS certain groups, but the coalition’s commander /in the U.S. naturally/ would not agree to deliver a strike.
