After all, the entire state of Washington isn't asking advice from anyone.

who would be asking Lavrov for advice. Nobody else.

Make it appear like this is more widespread in Washington (DC).

(15,805 posts)8. Yeah, it's times like this when you
really start to think that maybe our poor little cash strapped country needs something like a real State Dept or maybe even an FBI or CIA, where experts had the knowledge and experience, the research data and personal to handle these important issues.
When we get our very own agencies then we won't have to go begging, hat in hand, to our foreign adversaries like we were some second rate, subservient client state in vassalage to mighty Russia.
