Lavrov and Kerry spoke on the phone today--mainly about Syria, that is, about how to salvage the US peace plan with Russia's support attached to it; reportedly, Lavrov also added a brief mention of Odessa with a plea to have it investigated

Putin, great Russian faux-patriot, has passed the second anniversary of the greatest post-WWII massacre of Russians by Nazis in silence. Just as the year before.

Kerry called Lavrov

And they spoke

About how to pacify

Aleppo so it’s safe

For al Qaeda Lite

And al Qaeda “Moderate” ©.

Then Lavrov remembered

It’s the Second of May

And so he asked John

If someone in the universe

Might want to investigate 

And find out at last

What happened in Odessa

When people burned

--just before Putin dubbed

The Nazi regime legitimate

With Porky as its head.

That’s what at least the media said

About Lavrov and what he could say

To show the extent to which he cares

When hundreds of Russians are killed.

Not only so little, but rather as much

Lavrov is and remains briefly “concerned.”
