Comment on America's Know-Nothing Diplomacy

Reader comment on item: America's Know-Nothing Diplomacy [article]
in response to reader comment: count Putin in

Submitted by Grigorij Serscikov (United States), Nov 18, 2016 at 03:52

To myth:

Not only Putin, Sergey Lavrov - Russia's Foreign Minister - speaks Singhalese and Vitaly Churkin - Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN - speaks Mongolian. This is yet another example of the differences in language training between the US and Russia (s. my previous comments).

Kind regards,
