Russia's biggest export is hydrocarbons. Russia cannot get rid of it and the AGW is fake anyway, There is no upside to it. Perhaps they want to gage Biden. See how often and how long he pops up onto the virtual meeting.

I wish the meeting was not virtual. That way maybe the Russians could put Kerry in the back of the bus like China did.

Kerry's message to France: "You've got a friend" - literally

After Secretary of State John Kerry said he wanted to give France a "big hug," he followed it up with another message: "You've got a friend." He had James Taylor sing the classic song to apologize for the lack of a high-profile U.S. presence at an anti-teror rally in Paris following last week's terror attacks.
