. . . especially when it’s addressed to a total narcissist.

What’s that? A Russian Foreign Minister complimenting a President of the United States? That can’t be true . . . can it?

In this world of “anything goes,” we shouldn’t be surprised to hear absurdities coming from anyone’s lips. But to hear Sergei Lavrov speak the words he recently uttered about Donald Trump is . . . well, just see for yourselves:

Last week — despite Trump’s back-and-forth on his revived friendship with Vladimir Putin — Lavrov had nothing but praise for the U.S. Destroyer-in-Chief, saying that Trump showed “common sense” in his aim to end the war in Ukraine, and accusing the European powers — which have steadfastly remained in Ukraine’s camp — of trying to prolong the conflict.

While conceding that Washington and Moscow would never see eye-to-eye on everything, Lavrov said they should build a relationship like that of the United States and China, working toward doing “mutually beneficial things” without allowing disagreements to devolve into war.

“Donald Trump is a pragmatist,” Lavrov said in an interview with the Russian military newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda (“Red Star”). “His slogan is common sense. It means, as everyone can see, a shift to a different way of doing things.” [Guy Faulconbridge, Reuters, March 2, 2025.]

Oh, it’s a different way of doing things, all right. Different, dishonorable, destructive, dangerous, and despicable.

But wait . . . there’s more. Lavrov added:

“But the goal is still MAGA (Make America Great Again). This gives a lively, human character to politics. That’s why it’s interesting to work with him.” [Id.]

“Lively” . . . “human” . . . “interesting.” Not the most exuberant of compliments; but coming from Sergei Lavrov — or any Russian official — a clear indication that Trump isn’t the only pragmatist in this scenario. There is a mutual admiration society being built here, and it is not just sickening; it’s ominous. . . . and all the more so when China is added to the mix. That’s a menage a trois that bodes ill for the entire world.

And while we’re talking about “a different way of doing things,” do not lose sight of BRICS, and their forthcoming summit in July. Are you ready for a whole new world order?

They are.

Just sayin’ . . .
