И немедленно выпил.

В ФБ попалась на глаза ссылка на статью о том, как Лавров на недавней пресс конференции откровенно врал про Будапештский Меморандум.

Mr. Lavrov was asked how, given Russia’s violation of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and its failure to observe international agreements, Russia’s neighbors should feel secure. He responded: “If you’re referring to the Budapest Memorandum, we have not violated it. It contains only one obligation—i.e., not to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. No one has made any threats to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine.”

That statement is patently and absurdly false.

....

Mr. Lavrov is far from stupid, and he surely understands the commitments that Russia undertook in the memorandum. What does it say about the mendacity of Russian diplomacy and its contempt for international opinion when the foreign minister says something that can be proven wrong with less than 30 seconds of Google fact-checking?

fuckedup

Удивительно, что люди на западе до сих пор удивляются, когда российские лидеры сознательно врут, зная, что все знают, что они врут.

upd: I've finally figured out how to translate "Да, мы охуели. И что?" into English - Yes, we're dickheads. So what?
