Raiderup, how sad it is that due to Tony Abbott's pugilistic nature and diplomacy deficit that Australia's PM should be ridiculed as detailed in today's reports:

"... Russia's Foreign Affairs Minister, Sergey Lavrov, at a meeting with counterparts from nine other countries on August 6 in Kuala Lumpur, put it to Julie Bishop in his gravelly, heavily accented voice: "Is your prime minister still going to shirtfront my president?"
The US Secretary of State, John Kerry, jumped in. "Yeah," he said, "we've been putting money on the result, and we're backing Putin." ..."

We can but hope that other World leaders regard Malcolm Turnbull as a massive improvement over the worst PM in our history.

Like most Democrats Kerry couldn't back a placegetter in a two horse race.

In fact, going on their Arab Spring diplomacy results they don't even know who is running.

Don't throw Kerry up as a valid opinion Lapdog, he, along with Obama and Hilary is largely the reason the West is in deep, deep trouble.
