Kerry is a total idiot for going to Russia. And so is Merkel. The interpreters who translate what they say to Putin edit the text to make it congruent with Russian propaganda.

For instance, the interpreter who was translating Merkel ‘ s speech edited the word “criminal” out of the statement “the annexation of the Crimea was a criminal enterprise on the part of Russia.”

The Kremlin then modifies the statements even further.

For instance, when John Kerry said, “Both sides need to observe the ceasefire in Donbass,” the statement is changed to say, “John Kerry berated Poroshenko for not observing a ceasefire in Donbass.”
