Lavrov's speech, together with President Putin's remarks in his Serbian press conference (excerpts posted on this site) clearly indicate that the moral leader of the world is Russia, not Washington.

The Russians have come out of tyranny as America descends into tyranny. Washington's barbarity in the world is unprecedented. For 13 years Americans have permitted their government to bomb women, children and village elders in seven countries based entirely on lies and the selfish interests of the ruling elite. Washington has spewed depleted uranium everywhere, causing massive birth defects and health problems. We must remember that Washington is the only government that dropped nuclear weapons on helpless civilian populations. The victims were Japanese when the Japanese government was trying to surrender.

Putin's warning to the White House Fool that humanity's existence requires that Obama "remember what consequences discord between major nuclear powers could bring for strategic stability" is a pointed demand that the White House Fool halt Washington's aggression toward Russia. We have had enough, Putin said. We are a patient people, but we are running out of patience with your idiocy.
