  • Summary

  • "Nuclear Poker, or How Russia’s Foreign Minister Turned Diplomacy into a Dark Comedy," satirically criticizes the recent speech by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the UN General Assembly. The author employs a humorous, almost theatrical tone to critique Lavrov's use of nuclear threats as a diplomatic tactic, framing it as a repetitive, overplayed ploy for attention. The article emphasizes how Lavrov's speech lacks any real diplomatic value and instead comes across as a performative and overly dramatic act, comparing it to a "geopolitical soap opera." The author ultimately argues that the continued use of nuclear threats as a diplomatic tool is not effective and has become more of a global joke than a genuine threat.
