Russian foreign minister won’t return Kerry’s call H/T Foreign Policy
Secretary of State John Kerry called all the foreign ministers of countries that deal with North Korea following Monday's nuclear test and all but one of them picked up the phone -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov...."Maybe you could text him," one reporter joked.
......"Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had similar difficulty reaching Lavrov quickly by phone. In early 2012, Lavrov was traveling in Australia and didn't return Clinton's call about a pending U.N. resolution on Syria."

Ol' horse face still getting the horse laugh...and now from State Dep't press...
| Quote: | Russia’s foreign minister still hasn’t called Kerry back
By Josh Rogin
February 15, 2013
The Cable would just like to note that it's now been over 72 hours since Secretary of State John Kerry reached out to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov -- without getting a call back.
<snip>
Today, reporters at the State Department briefing were flabbergasted that it is taking this long for the Russian leader to respond.
"Our daily question about Mr. Lavrov: Has he returned the phone call? Have you found him? Is he missing in action?" one reporter asked.
"They have not yet connected by phone," Nuland said.

Kerry Threatens To Cut Aid To Israel... H/T Weasel Zippers
| Quote: | The State Department will have to stop humanitarian aid to millions of people, cut foreign assistance to Israel, and delay efforts to ramp up diplomatic security abroad after the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, if sequestration goes into effect next month, according to Secretary of State John Kerry.
At the beginning of March, across-the-board cuts to all discretionary spending accounts will go into effect, based on the 2011 Budget Control Act and the failure of the “supercommittee” to agree upon discretionary budget cuts in 2012. Congressional appropriators are planning to reorganize those cuts when the continuing resolution that has been temporarily funding the government expires at the end of March, a GOP Congressman told The Cable.
Until then, State and USAID are working on how to adjust to the impending new budget reality and Kerry is warning that the consequences will be severe.

| Quote: | Lawmakers on Thursday said the State Department left Congress in the dark about the administration’s decision to aid rebel forces in Syria.
The leaders of the panels that cover foreign policy told The Hill they weren’t briefed ahead of Secretary of State John Kerry’s announcement Thursday that America would be sending $60 million worth of food and medicine directly to the rebels battling Syrian President Bashar Assad. |
Michael Ramirez reminded us this week that Kerry’s tenure is just another example of “smart power”:
