LAVROV ASKS RUBIO TO EVACUATE THE U.S. EMBASSY — FRIENDLY TIP OR SPOILER ALERT?
Analysts are still debating whether this was diplomacy or the opening speech of a final boss encounter.
In a phone call described as “requested by the Russian side,” Foreign Minister Lavrov informed Secretary Rubio that Moscow has begun systematic strikes on Kyiv and that it would be wise to move American diplomats out of the blast radius.
Analysts spent approximately eleven seconds debating whether a country bombing a capital city is genuinely offering friendly advice or simply delivering the villain’s monologue before the final boss fight.
Rubio responded that the U.S. is “ready to facilitate the end of the war,” without specifying which war, or for whom.
